Thankyou so much for providing an excellent funeral for Kamal and Margaret Shamy. You have been extremely supportive throughout. The day itself was a great success and I have received many words of appreciation since. Thankyou again, Richard Wright

Listened to what my wishes were and carried them out. They were compassionate at a very difficult time. The funeral went smoothly thanks to them. I can’t thank them enough. 

Alan Eddison 11th May 2018

Everything went according to plan without any problems. Fielder and son staff were excellent, for example they arranged a viewing of the deceased at their premises during a bank holiday.

  • 5 John Reginald Peverall 10th May 2018

    On the death of my father on 1st March this year I selected J G Fielder and Son to undertake his funeral. This selection was based primarily on their website reviews as I am not local and therefore had no real knowledge of funeral service providers in the York area. I can honestly say that I made the right choice, from my first contact they dealt with everything in a sympathetic but extremely professional manner guiding me through the process. Everyone within Fielders that I had contact with was so kind and helpful. Particular praise must go to John Tattersall for the service he provided, the understanding, the responsiveness and the 'nothing is too much trouble' feeling that he gave me in all our dealings. Thank you from the Peverall family.

  • 5 Ian Smillie 3rd May 2018

    A great comfort. Sympathetic and once services accepted they take over all details of the arrangements, removing a lot of stress from the relatives. Comprehensive and easy to talk to, from the lovely lady in reception to the directors, nothing too much trouble. A very professional service. We can only say good things. Thank you.

  • 5 Annette Jean Pollock 3rd May 2018

    Fielder's were extremely professional and supportive at a very difficult time for us. Nothing was too much trouble and their thoughtful, friendly staff are a credit to the company.

  • 5 Rose Wallace 3rd May 2018

  • 5 Chris Teeling 2nd May 2018

    Following the death of my mother I had no idea what needed to be undertaken in the process leading up to, during and after her cremation. Chris Fielder came out and undertook the entire process in a professional and supportive manner. He dealt with all the little challenges with care and understanding, matched us up with the perfect celebrant for our family situation, and provided excellent support throughout. I will recommend J G Fielder as the perfect provider of funeral service and support.
