    J G Fielder & Son took care of my mum’s funeral arrangements and were sympathetic, professional and respectful all in equal and appropriate measure. They explained very clearly how things would happen and acted as the central point of liaison between all parties, and this also included from a financial perspective. This made the whole process very easy to negotiate, both emotionally and practically, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to other families. From our experience, you really can rely on them.

    The Fielders team did a wonderful job with my wife’s funeral. 
    They are extremely professional and clearly take honour and pride in their work. 
    Special thanks to John Tattersall, a genuinely lovely fella.
    John got to know us a little and suggested a celebrant he thought would suit us and found the perfect match with Gill. 
    Many thanks to all of you, you did Cindy and I so proud. 
    With my warmest regards,
    Phil.

  • 5 Martin Eccles 4th Jul 2022

    The whole process was professional and faultless, and a lot less traumatic than it could have been. Great communications, with plenty of updates, and all our requirements were dealt with quickly. Fielders helped to give Val a lovely send off, one I think she would have approved of. Highly recommended A++++++++++

  • 5 Nick Edmond 26th Jun 2022

    I have used Fielders before and I can honestly say the service I have received has been beyond excellent.
    From the moment I made the first call to inform them of a bereavement they were very sympathetic and totally professional.
    Jon from the very beginning just made the whole process very straight forward guiding me through everything. I could not ask for more.
    I can thoroughly recommend JG Fielders for total professional service

  • 5 Stephen Carter 24th Jun 2022

    Excellent service from J G Fielder and Jon Kirkman who made a very sad time a much easier experience.  Can’t recommend enough.  Thank you to Jon and all the staff, and to the lovely bearer who came in my car with us so we didn’t get lost on the way to the crem (sorry I can’t remember his name).  

  • 5 Nicole Lindstrom 13th Jun 2022

    I would give them an 'extraordinary' rating. John Tattersall was the best funeral director I could have ever hoped for: exceptionally kind; incredibly intuitive about what kind of funeral I wanted, even in the fog of my grief; so responsive in organizing every detail (and even things I didn't know I needed); and supported me every step of the way. Thank you so much, John, and J G Fielder & Son.

  • 5 Kenneth John Spanton 11th Jun 2022

    Excellent service .
    The funeral director John was first class, both professional and sympathetic to our loss.
    The catering at the reception was also very good and reasonably priced.

    Gill Taylor the civil funeral celebrant who conducted the service did a excellent job and described Janet’s life perfectly.
    Thank you to all for a job well done.
