John Tattersall was just brilliant. He was very professional and made us feel at ease. Everything about my mum’s funeral was superb. I can highly recommend Fielders and have told my friends how good you are. Thank you once again for sorting everything out for us. Barbara and family

  • 5 Helen Houghton 13th Jun 2026

    I have unfortunately needed to use the services of JG Fielder & Son after the recent death of my husband. From the very first phone call they have been nothing but compassionate, caring and professional. John Tattersall helped us so much during what has been the hardest time of our lives. John is a pleasure to work with and a genuinely lovely gentleman who showed kindness and  respect and made the day as stress free as possible. Thank you to all. 

  • 5 Rachael Wherry 12th Jun 2026

    Fielders were so kind and professional.  Jon helped us decide what we wanted for mums funeral and was very compassionate and patient with the family. On the day they made everything run smoothly and I would heartily recommend them. 

  • 5 Pauline Gilpin 8th Jun 2026

    J G Fielder & Son were very caring and so full of empathy at this sad time. My late husband looked so peaceful in the Chapel of Rest, at their premises in Clarence St.
    Thank you to everyone involved.

  • 5 Simon Parry 7th Jun 2026

    I would assess the services we received from the JG Fielder and Son Funeral Directors representative, John Tattersall, to be outstanding.

    A professional and caring man, John helped us understand what needed to be done with respect to my Mum and from the very start he was understanding of our feelings and guided us professionally through the process.

    At the Crematorium, John led his team extremely well and provided us with a faultless service.

    Finally, John reached out after the service to make sure all was well and offered appropriate reassurance to my Wife and I for which we were very grateful for.

  • 5 Michaela Peters 1st Jun 2026

    John Tattersall and the team were amazing, everything was so organised and went smoothly. They were very patient and considering of my sister who is disabled and didn't rush us at all. I would highly recommend using J G Fielder for their compassion and the trust they give you that the arrangements will be perfect.

  • 5 Liz Stacey 19th May 2026

    Very caring and professional. Listened to what the family wanted to happen and carried out our wishes. All the team couldn't have been more helpful answering questions and dealing with everything required. Perfect in every way.

  • 5 John Stuart 13th May 2026

    It was John Tattersall of Fielders who dealt with my wife, Christine's funeral and all the arrangements were perfect. John spent quite a while with us at the beginning outlining all the options very clearly and sympathetically then discussed the options in much more detail, making sure that we were happy with what we wanted on the day. Other ideas and queries cropped up and these were all dealt with very patiently, with care and in a helpful way. Phone calls made were always dealt with diligently and in a most friendly manner.
    The funeral itself was flawless with everything coming together like clockwork and with great dignity. Fielders certainly made what was a sad occasion into a lovely day to be remembered. Thank you so much for all the care shown.
    John Stuart on behalf of all the family.

  • 5 Ruby Mills 10th May 2026

    Heartfelt thanks to J.G.Fielders & Son the compassion, professionalism and attention to detail was exemplary and made a difficult time easier. 
    From our very first meeting Jon treated us with such warmth and genuine empathy keeping us informed and updated every step of the way.
    Celebrant Alex Barnes delivered the service beautifully, it was touching, personal and sensitively handled. 

  • 5 Andrew Bradley 9th May 2026

    A very hard job, done Amazingly.

    Thank you.

  • 5 Adele Long 6th May 2026

    Nothing was too much trouble Jon's help and guidance at a most difficult time was very much appreciated.

  • 5 Neil Found 30th Apr 2026

    Having to deal with a close relative passing is difficult at the best of times, especially when you do not live in the UK as was my case. As my Mum was residing in a Care Home, I initially made contact with Chris at JG Fielder for contingency reasons in January. Sadly, my Mum passed away at the end of March, so at least things were already in place. Jon, has dealt with myself and my brother with the actual funeral arrangements and has been very professional, caring and compassionate throughout the whole process. The actual cremation went off without a hitch and was conducted in a very dignified manner. Thank you

  • 5 Alison Graham 18th Apr 2026

    It was our third funeral with Fielders ( sadly) but it was so reassuring to feel safe once again in their hands. John Tattersall was our lead person and I cannot express enough   our gratitude for his professionalism and kindness. I highly recommend the whole team. Thank you from the bottom of our broken hearts 

  • 5 Lorraine Johnston 13th Apr 2026

    Every one was so helpful and kindly supportive when we needed it most. My dad’s funeral was respectfully carried out with everything we had asked for attended to. 
    Many thanks to Fielder and son and their whole team for their care .

  • 5 Helen Owens 13th Apr 2026

    JG Fielder & Son guided us through the entire process carefully and kindly.  Their assistance on the day of the funeral was just how I would have wished, helping make a difficult day slightly less difficult.

  • 5 Alan Wilson 12th Apr 2026

  • 5 Pauline Goudy 27th Mar 2026

    I would highly recommend J. G. Fielder & Son Funeral Directors. All that I wanted in the service was granted. My wonderful husband Robert was very well looked after from the first day of collection. Everyone involved was very sympathetic and Jon and Helen made me feel welcome every time I visited Robert. It was such a comfort to know the care that Robert received was first class, he was dressed and positioned just as I had wanted. I cannot thank them enough for giving Robert the wonderful send off that he so deserved, he will truly be at peace now. A huge thank you to everyone involved. Kind regards Pauline Goudy

  • 5 Gill Wong 24th Mar 2026

    J G Fielder & Sons are an outstanding company. My Father whose a retired Vicar had a lot of experience dealing with funeral directors and instantly chose Fielder's as people spoke so highly of them. Their attention to detail was outstanding and the compassion and care shown to us as a family was excellent. We would like to thank them all, particularly Lucy Horsman for all the time and expertise in helping us make Rosemary Fossett's final journey and funeral so perfect. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts and we won't hesitate to use you again or recommend you to friends.
    Michael, Gill and Jeremy Fossett

  • 5 Pauline Craddock 16th Mar 2026
