We have used Jonathan Terry for 3 family funerals now and we wouldn’t choose any other funeral directors. They are compassionate, kind and very caring giving total support before and afterwards, with bereavement support and also memorial services, to remember those sadly lost.. Thank you Jonathan and the team for everything you have done for us.. ❤️

  • 5 Dawne Edwards 13th Mar 2022

    Jonathan and his entire staff, especially Tracey, were outstanding throughout the whole process. I am based overseas and was organizing the funeral and they went over and above to accommodate my requests via phone and email, despite the time difference challenge. They took the time to walk me through the entire process, answered all of my questions, worked with each member of the family locally and did it all with kindness, grace and a level of patience I never knew existed. It is never a good reason to have to work with a funeral director, but this experience was first class from start to finish.  I highly recommend Jonathan and his team for any of your bereavement needs. They make one of the worst times in your life one of of them most comforting. I cannot thank them enough for treating our loved one, and us, so well.  Exceptional service with care and kindness - thank you.
