Could not have asked for a more sympathetic, caring yet efficient service from a funeral director. First class. 

Steve Whicher 20th Aug 2019

So professional; tightly aligned with our preferences; sensitively advised where appropriate and executed exceptional service on the day. Their knowledge and connectedness to other service providers ensured a totally integrated service was provided; sad day but so many of our guests; circa 180  were quite impressed. Wise choice

Christine Watts 19th Aug 2019

Hard to express in words our gratitude for the care and compassion the team at Peartree showed to our family in what has been a very emotional time for us all. You are clearly a very dedicated group of people who do their utmost to help people in these difficult times Many thanks.

About Us

Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, Pear Tree Avenue, understand the importance of saying goodbye to your loved ones with dignity, respect, and personalised care. As truly independent funeral directors, privately owned and serving all faiths and backgrounds, they are committed to providing a service that honours the unique lives of everyone they serve.

Established in 1999 by Jonathan Terry, who has been dedicated to the funeral profession since 1985, they have built a solid reputation for delivering personal and excellent service to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Over the years, Jonathan Terry have continuously reinvested in their business to ensure that they offer the best possible support to their families. In 2008, in response to the growing demand from families on the eastern side of Southampton, they opened their London Road funeral home.

In 2013, they embarked on a journey of redesign and refurbishment of their Peartree Avenue premises, culminating in the completion of the project in 2014.

A significant milestone in their journey came in December 2018 when they acquired 103 Peartree Avenue and launched the White Lily Centre, a bereavement centre offering counselling services to all. The White Lily Centre stands as a symbol of their commitment to supporting families beyond the funeral itself.

In May 2022, their services were further enhanced with the introduction of a new fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, ensuring that every aspect of your loved one's final journey is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism.

Behind every successful business is a dedicated team, and at Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, there is a team of compassionate professionals who truly believe in the importance of their vocation. Their unwavering commitment to supporting families during your time of need is the cornerstone of their reputation for excellence.

As a truly independent business, they take pride in the reputation they have built, the dedication of their team, and the unparalleled service they offer to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Opened in 1998, their Peartree Avenue funeral home is located at the junction of Gainsford Road and offers a private chapel of rest along with free parking and full disabled access. Their opening times are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday but they are available 24-hours a day by telephone.

    From our Sad beginning right to the end of my Husbands funeral ,the organising and care and compassion shown has been second to none. I have been so overwhelmed by each and every employee I have come into contact with. During our grief they took all the worries away of organising a funeral. I couldn’t thank such a specialist company any more. They are continually keeping in contact with me even after the funeral. I would like to thank them all for making my Husbands celebration of life that much easier to bare.

    From the moment we first contacted Jonathan Terry we felt like we had first class and premier service. Always respectful, caring and working with us throughout this very difficult period. Ed was exceptional and on the day David and his team were fantastic. My father could not have expected a better send off.

    Thank you.

    Michael Betteridge and Family.

  • 5 ANNETTE SPENCER 24th Jun 2019

    I have attended several funerals where Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors have been the undertakers. Also had the unfortunate need to use them myself (twice). I can honestly say that without the support and help from every member of the team I would not have coped on these sad occasions. The guidance given, support and availability is 2nd to none. They are all amazing. Especially Matthew Haines. He is an absolute rock. Could not have managed this process without him to lean on.
    Just totally amazing and so professional at all times. I thank them all from the bottom of my heart. Annette Spencer

  • 5 Andrea Dowse 9th Jun 2019

    After losing both parents within a matter of months they have been amazing - there is nothing that’s to much trouble and they are very professional but personal. Thank you to everyone who helped give our mum and dad a special send off that they both so deserved x

  • 5 James Lemanis 5th Jun 2019

  • 5 Lois Owens 7th May 2019

    Thank you very much for arranging my husband (David Owens) funeral especially to Ed who did the organising. We are so glad that we chose your company and would recommend you to family and friends. Thank you.

  • 5 Colin Forrest-Charde 3rd May 2019

    I have sadly had to use a funeral director twice in the last three years. Jonathan Terry were outstanding on both occasions. They took all of the planning away at a time of grief. I cannot laud them sufficiently. 

  • 5 Alan Blake 30th Apr 2019

    Jonathan Terry conducted my fathers funeral with great dignity, empathy and professionalism. Ed, whom we met for the initial interview, straight away put us at our ease and made many recommendations to help us. There was also a nice touch with the pallbearers wearing the same colour tie as Dad. A special mention should also be made to the minister, Peter White, who was appointed by Jonathan Terry who performed his duties extremely well. I would not have any hesitation in recommending Jonathan Terry to anyone and would like to thank all the staff for making Dad’s funeral so special. 

  • 5 Darren Brown 19th Apr 2019

    Outstanding with great attention to detail. Ed and the team were very helpful and the service was professional.

  • 5 Michael Eames 19th Apr 2019

    The service provided by Jonathan Terry, from first contact to the cremation, was professional and supportive. The advice and planning was meticulous and communication throughout the process was excellent. Overall, I don't think the service could have been bettered.

  • 5 Rowan Sheppard 13th Apr 2019

    Very happy with the care and attention we received from our first contact with Jonathan Terry's.
