  • 5 Chris Rowan 6th Dec 2019

    I would like to say a Big Thank You for all that Jonathan Terry, Peartree Avenue had done to fulfill my mum's plan and wishes. From the first meeting to all the help and guidance leading up to my mum's funeral.

    I don't think it could have been any better on the day, all went as it was planned. The beautiful hearse, the compassion that was shown throughout was just perfect, so pleased.

  • 5 Richard Martin 3rd Dec 2019

    Jonathan Terry were outstanding - They made great efforts to assure me that everything was taken care of in a clear and concise manner - they even checked that my to-do list was being attended to so nothing was forgotten. Bereavement is a difficult time JTIFD gave me the confidence that everything was taken care of. They took care of both my parents when they died and I knew that they were very good from previous experience and also from the response from the Hospice when I told them Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors were taking care of things. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    I can’t rate JT enough, very kind and helpful people at the end of the phone, nothing is too much trouble, sadly we’ve had to arrange two funerals within a year, but what would usually be a very sad occasion was made to be a wonderful celebration of life, with all the finishing touches from JT put into place, they also arrange a lovely Christmas carol service that we attended last year and will again this year, THANK YOU JONATHON TERRY

    Hard to express in words our gratitude for the care and compassion the team at Peartree showed to our family in what has been a very emotional time for us all. You are clearly a very dedicated group of people who do their utmost to help people in these difficult times Many thanks.

  • 5 Yvonne Grace 29th Jul 2019

    From our Sad beginning right to the end of my Husbands funeral ,the organising and care and compassion shown has been second to none. I have been so overwhelmed by each and every employee I have come into contact with. During our grief they took all the worries away of organising a funeral. I couldn’t thank such a specialist company any more. They are continually keeping in contact with me even after the funeral. I would like to thank them all for making my Husbands celebration of life that much easier to bare.
