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.

  • 5 Jayne Thomas 11th Mar 2019

    Margaret and Sarah were so good from start to finish with our requests and arrangements.  Sally, the planned celebrant was lovely when she met me to talk about Alan's life and she went above and beyond to draft the talk even from her sick bed!  Matthew stepped in at the last minute for the actual ceremony and was very professional and smoothed the way through the event very calmly and efficiently.
    Friends and relatives abroad and in Scotland who couldn't attend really appreciated the webcast so I'm really pleased that was offered. My only criticism of the webcast was that you couldn't hear Matthew during the address facing the coffin as the music drowned him out.
    Wonderful service, thank you everyone.

    Ed did a brilliant job explaining everything that needed to be done, and what would happen. They did research for us as we wanted to scatter ashes on another grave and helped us identify where that is. Great advice on flowers. The funeral itself went without a hitch. I couldn't have asked for better service.

    We as a family have used Jonathan Terry before and we rate them with a very compassionate service and we would definitely be using them in (hopefully) the far future.

  • 5 Janette Russell 22nd Aug 2017

    My worst fear was that I had never arranged a funeral before but I shouldn't have worried because from the first phone call from Jonathan Terry the whole process of arranging my mothers funeral was both compassionate and professional.

    Every detail was discussed and arranged with the utmost care and attention and the familles wishes were adhered to one hundred percent.

    Above all,I had the comfort in the knowledge that Terry and his team would ensure that my mother would have the send off she deserved.

  • 5 Maxine White 20th Dec 2016

    Jonathan Terry is a very professional, respectful, sympathetic with a calm demeanour. He makes a difficult time easier to bear. He was happy to take thing at pace that we as a family were comfortable with. Nothing was too much trouble. The chapel of rest was peaceful, dignified and respectful. All his staff are friendly, kind, considerate and Caring in their approach to everything.
