  • 5 Helen Barr 27th Oct 2023

    From start to finish, Fielder and Son were amazing. They completely took the weight of organising Mum's funeral from our shoulders. They were kind, respectful and efficient. We felt supported every step of the way. The cost of the funeral was extremely good also. They made the day one in which we didn't need to worry about a thing. We can't praise them highly enough. Thank you.

    From start to finish your service was so caring and professional. I made a few phone calls to your office to change certain parts of the service and nothing was a problem for you to do it. I will certainly recommend your company to anyone else who needs it. Thankyou for an excellent service you did my dad proud.

  • 5 Chris Metcalfe 20th Sep 2023

    We would like to express our great thanks to Vic and his staff who dealt with the funeral of our Mother in a such a wonderful and dignified manner. They helped and guided me and my family with such dignity through what is always such a difficult time, always being on hand to assist and advise on any concerns we had. It really was, to us, a 5 star service.

    John T and all the support team at Fielders have just been absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I can't thank them enough. They gave a real human touch to the whole experience, and were compassionate, detailed, patient and kind throughout. We got delayed at the gravesite while waiting for a guest, and they just stayed patient and respectful of the circumstances the whole time! My heart was full. I can't recommend Fielders highly enough. Very best to all of you going forward! LK 3/9/23

  • 5 Peter Lowther 4th Jul 2023

    Having had time to collect my thoughts after my Mums sad passing I would just like to write a few lines on the services of J G Fielder and Mr John Tattersall in particular, who went above and way beyond what I’d normally expect.
    At all times John was a consummate professional in whatever he did, but more importantly, to my family & myself, he provided a beautifully kind and compassionate understanding of absolutely everything. He guided me through a dark time and provided a light at the end of the tunnel, he advised me on every step  of my Mums funeral and I am eternally grateful to both John and the team at Fielders for giving my Mum a truly memorable send off.
