Very efficient & empathetic service.  Highly recommended.

Sheila Ashton 7th Feb 2023

John and his team were extremely helpful and compassionate throughout the whole process. Everything ran smoothly on the day - even making allowances for three family members who chose to be pallbearers at the last minute. I hope to not use their services again too soon but I will not hesitate to contact them again when the time comes.

Charlotte Tattersall 30th Jan 2023

Couldn’t rate them highly enough. Especially John Tattersall. Thank you as always for everything.

    On our very first contact with Fielders  we were assigned to Jon Kirkman who carried out a very professional and sympathetic service which took all the worry out of what was for me a stressful situation.  Every detail was taken care of in a quiet and unobtrusive manner.  This served to in-still confidence in Fielders as funeral directors.  Thank you!
