We had to arrange my fathers funeral at short notice. JT was exceptional. They did everything they could in a sensitive and polite way, we cannot thank them enough. At a very difficult time they really helped to ensure the smooth outcome of the day so that myself and my family could mourn the passing of our dad. Thank you!

  • 5 Lynda, Heather, Susan, Stephen perrin 11th Jan 2019

    Ed did a brilliant job explaining everything that needed to be done, and what would happen. They did research for us as we wanted to scatter ashes on another grave and helped us identify where that is. Great advice on flowers. The funeral itself went without a hitch. I couldn't have asked for better service.

  • 5 Janette Russell 22nd Aug 2017

    My worst fear was that I had never arranged a funeral before but I shouldn't have worried because from the first phone call from Jonathan Terry the whole process of arranging my mothers funeral was both compassionate and professional.

    Every detail was discussed and arranged with the utmost care and attention and the familles wishes were adhered to one hundred percent.

    Above all,I had the comfort in the knowledge that Terry and his team would ensure that my mother would have the send off she deserved.

  • 5 Maxine White 20th Dec 2016

    Jonathan Terry is a very professional, respectful, sympathetic with a calm demeanour. He makes a difficult time easier to bear. He was happy to take thing at pace that we as a family were comfortable with. Nothing was too much trouble. The chapel of rest was peaceful, dignified and respectful. All his staff are friendly, kind, considerate and Caring in their approach to everything.
