  • 5 Victoria Hatton 18th Jan 2022

    We as a family would just like to say a huge thank you for everything the team at Jonathan Terry have done for us during a very difficult and emotional time.   We (and my husband) have been given the upmost respect and kept informed as to what was happening/would happen at all times and the funeral went without any problems.   Jonathan has also been very patient in allowing us the time to decide what we would like to do next to conclude this sad chapter in our lives.      

  • 2 Sandy Clothier 18th Jan 2022

    I feel there are options which should be discussed at the time of planning. For example -
    Our party were let out of car and not directed to entrance, leaving us to mingle with those waiting in car park. I am told this could have been stipulated at time of planning. I did ask for my son and daughter to join us at the car/entrance and this was not done.
    Also we were not asked whether we wished for guests to be directed out of the chapel before the family at the end of the service. I am told this could have been requested. 
    I had to ask for flowers to be returned to florist asap - message was not received, even though florist put a sign on wreath with request. However, this was quickly addressed by Ben. 
    Celebrant gave wrong date of death for my mother. 
    I feel it would also be helpful if information could be given at time of planning regarding seat layout, i.e. how many seats each side on front row. This would enable people to agree where they would sit and families could plan to sit together, rather than scramble once inside the chapel. 

  • 5 Melissa Connolly 16th Jan 2022

    Listened the everything we asked for. Multiple visits to the chapel of rest on short notice and requests. On the day, excellent communication throughout, professional as always. We as a family, thank everyone at JT. 

  • 5 Jean Moore 10th Jan 2022

    I was very satisfied with the service you gave to my family. I will certainly recommend your business to another. Thank you.
                                                                                                   Mrs Jean Moore

  • 5 Mary Hayes 29th Dec 2021

    We could not recommend Jonathan Terry highly enough when making the final arrangements for Mum's funeral. We would especially like to thank Ben and Trisha for their professionalism, kindness and compassion which made such a difficult time more bearable. Thank you

  • 5 Robert Byrne 13th Dec 2021

    The funeral service was all we hoped for, from leaving the house to arriving at the wake. Matthew Smith the Minister conducted the service with great care and made it very personal. It was all Pearl would have wanted.
