Linda Fisher 15th Dec 2025

Jon held my hand through the whole process for which I was very grateful. It was the first time I had arranged a funeral and it didn't help that I live 200 miles away so was indebted to Jon for all his knowledge and contacts. Thank you.

Karen Jackson 15th Dec 2025

Couldn't have asked for anything more. A very sad day was made easier with this company's help. Special thanks to John Tattersall and my celebrant Gill Taylor.

    Such an amazing caring place they helped us work through planning and what our dad would have wanted and everything was perfect when the time came... they let us visit and spend time with our father before the funeral and honestly cannot fault them at all they have helped us beyond words

  • 5 Ann Illingworth 29th Nov 2025

    Disappointed with flowers. I requested BLUE, YELLOW AND WHITE Leeds United colours especially for Jack. I received PURPLE, YELLOW AND WHITE. There were 3 very small blue flowers but the purple irises overshadowed those.

  • 5 Charles Colley 17th Nov 2025

    A very professional service from start to finish. Putting our needs to the front, giving excellent advise and guidance throughout a challenging family time.

  • 5 Mark Corner 17th Nov 2025

    Very happy with the service provided by Fielders. 
    John our main contact was constantly in touch and smoothly dealt with everything that had to be organised regarding my father’s funeral. 
    Everything on the day went exactly to plan which eliminated any worries. 
    Many thanks to all the staff involved for a very professional, friendly, punctual service. 

    Mr Mark Corner.

  • 5 Patricia Richards 14th Nov 2025

    Utterly professional. What mattered most to our family was the respect shown to our loved one. The care and kindness we received from the first phone contact to the final goodbye was outstanding. Every aspect of the preparation for the funeral was decided upon with expert advice and support. We appreciated the family like atmosphere that prevailed. We would not hesitate to recommend J G Fielder and Son.

  • 5 Charlotte Chmilevschi 25th Oct 2025

    The service we received from Fielders was second to none. The support and patience that we experienced as a family made the whole process that little bit easier, and nothing was too much trouble for them. Most importantly, my Dad was treated with respect and dignity throughout the whole process.

  • 5 Dawn Bradbury 25th Oct 2025

    Jon Kirkman was amazing. So understanding, kind and empathetic. He made a very sad time more bearable to cope with and I felt he held our hand the whole way through x I can never thank him enough for what he did for us.

    Efficient, friendly, understanding and helpful

  • 5 Bryony Penman 13th Oct 2025

    This is the third time Fielder’s have looked after a loved one of ours within the past 5 years. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Jon was gentle and compassionate and gave us just the kind of support we needed, both emotional and practical. Everything was impeccably organised and expertly taken care of. It was a nice touch that he stayed with us during the burial. It says something that he felt like a friend.
    Thank you Jon and the team. 

  • 5 Phil Edwards 7th Oct 2025

    Very happy with the professionalism and service provided by J G Fielder & Son. Thanks in particular to John Tattersall who acted for them in the planning for the day and Keith Houlston for his attention on the day.

    Our wishes were followed, as you would expect and the event passed without any incident. Thank you to all involved.

  • 5 Emma Taylor 20th Sep 2025

    The second time in 2 years I've had to use a funeral director and fielders are always my first choice

  • 5 Garry Durrant 19th Sep 2025

    John made us feel so at ease through out the whole  process, would recommend Fielders to any one wanting to use their services. 

  • 5 Karen Leaning 19th Sep 2025

    I've [sadly but gratefully] used Fielders 5 times now, including twice in the last 2 months for my parent's funerals. The care, compassion and attention to detail all the staff show is lovely - especially given how upsetting the funeral process can be. Thank you to you all, but especially to Lucy, John and Helen for the kindness you have shown me over the last few months.

  • 5 Joanne Helliwell 19th Sep 2025

    John T and the team at Fielder’s were so very helpful, navigating us around a difficult, sad time. I would not hesitate in recommending them.
    Thank you for everything.

  • 5 Peter Sadler 18th Sep 2025

    The care and arrangements were beyond expectation and could not have been bettered. The service was handled with dignity and every matter requested was exactly in line with what Barbara had requested. My family have been directed that my own arrangements, in time ahead, are handled by Fielder & Son and Jon Kirkman in particular.

  • 5 Colin Starr 13th Sep 2025

    A fantastic service from the recovery of the deceased all the way through to the funeral and beyond.
    Communications were timely and excellent throughout. Consequently we were well versed in the procedure and what to expect.
    The assistance and advice provided by the Funeral Director (Jon Kirkham) took away all the worry and anxieties that we anticipated may occur. Faultless.

    A big thankyou to all the personnel that we had the pleasure of meeting.
