The support provided by everyone at Jonathan Terry was exceptional. Their guidance, patience, and compassionate approach made organising my dad's funeral far easier than I had anticipated. Everything was handled with professionalism and care, and any questions I had were answered swiftly and sympathetically, helping me navigate a process I was unfamiliar with. I am truly grateful for their support.

  • 5 Janice Uphill 15th Apr 2025

    At such an awful time, Jonathan and his staff could not have been more helpful with the preparation of my husband’s funeral. On the day, everything went perfectly to plan and we felt looked after and well informed. Thank you. 

  • 5 Ian Coomber 15th Apr 2025

    Having Nigel Chamberlain (an old friend with whom I had worked for many years) conduct my wife's funeral made it very special. His thoughtfulness, kindness and attention to detail is something I always admired greatly when we worked together - being on the receiving end was a new experience altogether.

    He could not have been more professional, yet having that familiar touch made a difficult stage in life so much easier, as he cared for both me and my family. You are lucky to have him working with you, with his real enthusiasm for his calling.

    The bearers on the day, the flowers, the coffin, the hearse and conduct of the funeral were exemplary, and it is great to see how Jonathan's company has developed under his expert care, having known him when he first trained as a Funeral Director.

    My grateful thanks to you all, and especially to Nigel. The family know exactly where to come when my days are over!

    With warmest good wishes to you all

    Ian Coomber

    With warmest good wishes t you all

    Words don't do Jonathan Terry and his team justice, everyone we've dealt with there has been friendly, polite and respectful and made what is a difficult time that little bit easier.
