    We could not have been happier with the service received from Fielders: caring, compassionate, and professional in every way, with a wonderfully personal and human approach that helped us deal with things during a difficult time. Every detail was looked after with professionalism and sensitivity, and the funeral was everything we could have wished for. Thank you to everyone at Fielders.

  • 5 Jeanne Fletcher 20th Sep 2022

    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!

  • 5 Alison Carpenter 23rd Aug 2022

    Fielder and Son Funeral Directors was selected by me even before my mother passed away, as I found the history of this company a very sincere one. From the moment we engaged with Jon Kirkman we felt fully supported in a sad situation. Communication was excellent meaning we were regularly informed of the progress of funeral arrangements, and everything was taken care of seamlessly and without any drama. The respect and dignity afforded my mother in her final days at the Chapel of Rest were exemplary, and all her wishes were fulfilled completely. Thank you

  • 5 Alison Goude 22nd Aug 2022
