  • 5 Ian Renfrew 11th May 2022

    At what was an extremely upsetting time for us Mr Paul Clark and his team at JG Fielder & Son's Pocklington branch helped us massively. They dealt with us with a reassuringly friendly, empathic manor while acting with the utmost decorum and professionalism. They responded to our questions and wishes with advice and their expertise, which resulted in a perfectly smooth running period from the initial contact, through the day of the funeral and on to the internment a few days later and are still helping us while we arrange a Memorial Plaque.
    We thoroughly recommend them and their services.

  • 5 John Godwin 27th Feb 2022

    A first-class service. Professional, discreet and amazingly efficient. Fielders took us through everything and made the whole process much more bearable than it otherwise might have been. The staff there were reassuring at all times and made us feel that they were looking after our loved one as well as we would have done. Strongly recommended.

    Paul and his colleagues handled every aspect of the funeral service perfectly and took away all the pressure and confusion of what to do and when. They were sympathetic and dignified throughout and although recommending a funeral directors may seem a strange thing to do I would highly recommend them. 

  • 5 Mike Madden 21st Apr 2021

    From that initial telephone call Paul, Julie and team have handled my wife's funeral with the utmost care and attention to detail, nothing was too much trouble. They listened attentively to our requirements and with compassion and empathy they helped and guided us to achieve the perfect send off for my wife. Owing to the Covid pandemic restrictions the livestream video allowed further family members and friends to be there spritually for my wife. Thank you Paul, Julie and team.
