    At such a very difficult time, Fielders literally came to my rescue. John Tattersall and his team were remarkable, from the first phone call to even following up the day after the funeral.  Their respect, calm, professionalism, kindness and compassion were exemplary, with every detail attended to in such a considered and thoughtful way -  it made an extraordinarily difficult time just a little bit easier.  I felt totally safe in their hands and can't recommend them highly enough to support you through such a devastating process.

  • 5 Lorna Bulmer 4th Jun 2025

    Thank you so much for taking care of us and gently guiding us through this process. Lucy and team, you were amazing. I can't recommend you highly enough.

  • 5 Wendy Sampson 3rd Jun 2025

    After using Fielders for my fathers funeral in 2007 I knew that Fielder & Son would be my first choice for my Mum.  From first contact with Chris Fielder and Helen McCabe who booked me an appointment with Jon Kirkman,  who was our Funeral Director all the way from first appointment to on the day at Mums funeral. Jon was so helpful and friendly and kept me updated all the time. On the day Jon and his team were so professional and even my request for a coloured ties with uniforms was achieved as my Mum loved colour. Thank you so much Jon and all at Fielder & Son for all your assistance and compassion at this very sad time.

  • 5 Vivienne Wilson 2nd Jun 2025
