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.

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.

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 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

  • 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

    Many thanks for the respectful and efficient way you carried out our funeral arrangements for my husband last Friday.
    We all feel that the funeral went exactly as we’d have all wanted and really valued the care and consideration you showed to us all.
    I decided to use yourselves after a recommendation from a couple of people and I’m very pleased I did.

  • 5 Andrew Stabbins 12th Mar 2026

    JG Fielder and Son have been extremely helpful, patient and supportive as we planned the funeral of our loved one. Everything was explained carefully and we were given plenty of time to think and discuss our wishes. We were kept well informed throughout. The service itself felt extremely personal and was everything we wanted it to be. The whole family would like to say thank you to the team at Fielders.

  • 5 Bruce Pottage 10th Mar 2026

    I can whole heartedly recommend Jon and the whole J G Fielder's team who helped to create and organise a very personal and fitting tribute for Debra's funeral.

    Everything from the outstanding horse drawn hearse, the professionalism of the whole team, to the kindness shown. The little touches of the team such as the wearing lilac ties all helped make the service and celebration of Debra's life into a very moving and fitting tribute.
    We had a lot of comments from family and friends saying how well organised and moving it was. From the first contact phone call, the home visit, to your guidance throughout, looking after family members when they came to visit your chapel of rest.
    Thank you again, not just for the day but through the whole process.

    Celebrant Alex Barnes was outstanding.
    For some people, it was their first experience of a Humanist-led service and many found a great deal of comfort in the way Alex told Debra's story in a warm, tender and moving way with empathy and heart.
    For many, it helped them focus on their own happier memories of Debra, and what she meant to them. Thank you

  • 5 Brian Souter 9th Mar 2026

  • 5 Deborah Farrow 12th Feb 2026

    Fielder & Son Funeral Directors came recommended to me by my uncle, who had used them three times. They are very professional as well as caring. Jon explained everything to me about my brother’s funeral to me. He kept me informed every step of the way. On the day of the funeral Simon met us at the Crematorium and explained everything and took care of us. 
    Thank you all at such a difficult time.

  • 5 Steph Green 6th Feb 2026
