We had excellent service from Jon Kirkham. He was kind, attentive and very professional. I have used Fielders three times now and each time they have been superb at a very difficult time for me.

Samantha Silver 29th Oct 2018

Our thanks to Fielder's for the helpful and considerate way they worked with us to arrange a celebration of our mother's life. A difficult day went smoothly and with dignity with their support.

Susan Orchard 23rd Oct 2018

    Cannot thank fielders enough for there services. They went above and beyond for my dads funeral. Doing as little or as much as we wanted them to. Thankyou guys for everything 

  • 5 Richard Sawyer 11th Oct 2018

    Our Funeral Director, Simon, and all of the staff at Fielder's York provided a professional, comprehensive service that adapted to our needs. My wife died suddenly at a young age, 240 miles from our home city. Fielder's made all the requested arrangements, taking any complicated tasks off our hands to ensure that the day ran as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend their service.

  • 5 Terry Uren 9th Oct 2018

    We couldn't have asked for better service from Jon. even on the e-mails we were receiving in Australia, we could tell by the way he wrote the email we had a good team.

    it was nice to put a face to the email a few days before the service, also with Rev. John.

    Everyone said on the day how nice the service was & how sincere everyone was, proving they love what they are doing & it's not just a job.

    Thank you all.

    Regards

    Terry & Barbs Uren

  • 5 Rosanne Gabe 23rd Sep 2018

    We were treated with the upmost respect from the first moment, right through to the end of the service. Our wishes for my father’s cremation service could not have been carried out more beautifully. My special thanks go to Chris Fielder, who made the whole process so much less stressful than it could easily have been. He does his job with enviable precision, whilst remaining both kind and compassionate.

  • 5 Malcolm Coggan 9th Sep 2018

    Fielder's provided a speedy service following my initial phone call to Chris and kept me informed at all stages. Simon visited me at home and talked through the formalities and forms required. On the day the funeral arrangements went very well. I am glad I trusted Fielders.

  • 5 Deborah Patrick 4th Sep 2018

    Keith at Fieders was very helpful, patient and sympathetic.

  • 5 David King 2nd Sep 2018

    Everything that Fielder's did was exellent, even down to the seamless change of Funeral Directors on the day.



  • 5 Lynne Cole 22nd Aug 2018

    Professional, friendly and supportive at all times.

  • 4 Gillian Ogden 15th Aug 2018

    Would have said excellent apart from the mix up with the name of the charity being collected for although this was resolved quickly.

  • 5 Peter Cloudsdale 11th Aug 2018

    We were recommended to use Fielder Funeral Directors.

    They provide a professional and pleasant service and would be used again. Highly recommended

    Very professional team who ensured everything ran smoothly & with compassion. Was able to communicate through via email , which helped with getting the order of service sorted quickly.

  • 5 Robert Thomson 14th Jul 2018

    1st class service, took all the worry out of a very distressing time.
    Handled everything from the moment we rang with the sad news mum had passed away to organising every step of way with complete compassion and professionalism.
    Highly recommended, this is the second time we have used their service and now I would not consider any other Funeral Directors.

     Sincerely, Bob Thomson.

  • 5 Jane McArthur 22nd Jun 2018

    Efficient. Friendly. Accessible.

    Excellent

  • 5 Roma Hall 20th May 2018

    The family and other mourners were impressed by the efficiency and sensitivity of the service, and I was relieved of all the difficulty of co-ordinating the arrangements and tributes from various quarters. It seemed that anything we wanted was made possible, and a programme of selected music was created, it seemed, effortlessly. This was all provided with quietly supportive friendliness, and I couldn't recommend them more highly.

  • 5 Hava Fleming 18th May 2018

    In every step of our difficult way, Fielder and Son assisted and anticipated our family. We had various special and probably unusual requests which were immediately fulfilled. We were delayed by train journeys but all was accepted and understood. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Gail Vickers 16th May 2018

    We have used Fielder's services twice in the last six months and on both occasions they have been supportive and efficient, inspiring confidence that the funeral ceremonies would go smoothly.

    Keith Houlston who looked after our arrangements on each occasion was always professional but also took a personal interest in our needs. He was helpful, supplying the information we required and keeping us up to date with preparations. We would not hesitate to recommend Fielder's care.

  • 5 Richard Wright 14th May 2018

  • 5 Richard Wright 14th May 2018

    The day itself was a great success and I have received many words of appreciation since.
    Thankyou again,
    Richard Wright
