A proffesional service, gave all the support we needed, thank you all at Jonathan Terry. 

Ian Phillips 16th Mar 2021

Jonathan Terry Funeral Directors have been absolutely brilliant all the way through this incredibly difficult process. They made things straightforward for us from the very start, as well as being so understanding at every point. All of the staff I interacted with were excellent, the communication was exemplary and they are all a credit to the company. From someone who finds it difficult to not be in control of certain processes, everything went perfectly on the day of the funeral and their professionalism shone through. They made what was a very difficult day somewhat easier. Thank you so much to everyone involved, my dad would definitely have approved. I would have no problem recommending Jonathan Terry to anyone who needs them.

James Fynan 13th Mar 2021

Jonathan Terry dealt with the funeral of my much loved wife, Sandra. In all their dealings they were very professional and sympathetic. Slightly disappointed with the mix-up regarding the mourners cars but this was efficiently and reverently rectified. They have very kind and caring staff with a very dignified and reverent approach to the whole, extremely distressing, proceedings. Would certainly recommend Jonathan Terry in the future.

  • 4 Steve Harris 21st Feb 2021

    The process from initial booking to the funeral itself was very easy and despite Covid restrictions dictating that all arrangements had to be made by phone was pretty much stress free.
    The service itself and the printing of the order of service/memorial booklet for my Father was much appreciated by myself and our family.
    We found all of the Jonathan Terry team we met to be extremely professional and very focussed on making our experience as stress free as possible.
