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.

    You could not find a better Funeral director than Jonathan Terry. From start of the process to funeral itself his dedicated and caring team helped us. From the lady at reception the lady in the office everyone was so caring towards our needs they go up and beyond just helping us through this very difficult time. On the day of funeral we were told each step what will be happening, the team was excellent. They even turned up with umbrellas as it was raining, the professionalism put us at ease
    Margret who carried out the service provide that extra bit of support when talking about my Aunt Kath, and my dads sister Kath.
    Once the funeral was over, Jonathan Terry involvement does not stop their, they host coffee morning for support they assist you in finding the right amount of help for the empty feeling now Aunt Kath has gone to her final resting place. At Christmas we have the church service and placing a star on the Christmas tree.

    Thank you for supporting us through this very difficult time.

    Amazing service from start to finish. This was a complicated situation and there were a lot of delays in setting a date for Mum's funeral. Everyone I had contact with was so professional but showed great empathy. The day itself whilst very sad, could not have gone better due to the professionalism of Jonathan Terry and his staff.

    At such a sad time for our family Jonathan Terry were respectful at all times, they answered any questions we had, on the day of the funeral everything was easy for us because of Tom and the other members of Jonathan Terry. They made it go so smoothly and meant we didn't have to worry about anything at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of their services.

    I am so grateful that a friend recommended Jonathan Terry to me. At such a sad and difficult time, it was so comforting to have been in such safe hands. From my initial appointment up until the day of my husbands funeral, they were absolutely incredible …. their guidance, understanding, kindness and professionalism really relieved a lot of my stress, as they were so helpful and attentive when ensuring every little detail for the day was taken care of.  Jonathan is such a lovely and genuinely empathetic man and Trish was truly wonderful too, as was the celebrant Matthew that they recommended. Thank you for making the day as special and bearable as it could have been given the circumstances.
