    On behalf of myself and my family, I would like to say the service we received from Jonathan Terry Funeral Directors has been excellent. From the day my husband's body, Derek Sherbourne, was collected from our house, to the day of the funeral, he was treated with dignity. Everything was planned most professionally, and it was a great comfort to us to know our wishes would be carried out as we wanted them to be. We all thank you so much.

  • 5 John Rosebank 25th Oct 2025

    Thank you so much to Matt everyone at Terry's for making my mother's funeral go so beautifully. Everything was perfect - down to the rose on the side of the coffin, an unexpected and lovely touch since Rose was her middle name. A minimum of fuss and a maximum of quiet grace made everything flow exactly as anyone could have wished. And all without a hint of gloomy solemnity. Thank you also to Matt for keeping me quietly in the loop all the way through the two days - making the operation so smooth I don't suppose anyone else noticed. I really could not recommend more highly.
