We cannot thank John Pinder enough for all his invaluable help during the very sad time of losing our sister Lesley, he is professional at all times and nothing is a bother, it is lovely how a man in his profession has such an approachable warm manner. Lesley was very specific in her funeral plans and John was paramount in making them happen, for this we will be forever thankful. Janice & Steve

    My family have relied on Pinders before. They provide an outstanding service at the time when every decision is difficult. I highly recommend them. 

  • 5 Kathryn Brown 5th Sep 2017

    From the first time we met John to arrange pre-paid funerals for my my parents he was very professional and caring. Unfortunately we had to call on John's services sooner than we expected when my father passed away suddenly. From the first phone call to John after the death to the after care we received, he was excellent in making what was a very sad and difficult time easier for the family especially mum. Thank you John.

  • 5 Paul Winstanley 17th Aug 2017

  • 5 Sylvia Mulligan 28th May 2017

    I had no previous experience or knowledge of what I had to do in my situation. I am so pleased that I chose Pinders Funeral Directors as they took all the problems that arose,  worked through the options I had, and sat down with me to help me feel comfortable with my decision.  Within a day I felt as though they were part of my family and this made me feel very assured that my wishes would be upheld. My husband was given the highest respect and was lovingly cared for.  Jaquie was our dedicated member of the team and I felt very comfortable with her dealings with us. John Pinder was always on site, and made himself visible, even coming to my assistance when my vehicle broke down,  this made me feel confident in the fact that they really are a family run business.
    If you are looking for a caring, professional funeral director who will give your loved one the dignity and respect they deserve, yet never forgetting the loved ones left behind then I can highly recommend W.E. Pinder & Son

    John Pinder has provided me and my family with excellent service. He pre-empts your needs, takes care of everything and inspires confidence in the whole process. The funeral had the perfect balance of solemnity, gravitas and good humour. John and his company is simply a class act. Thank you for everything.

  • 5 Cath Basilio 16th Jan 2017

    John was able to set the right tone for the whole process, was thoughtful in his communication, helpful and caring to both my Dad who'd died and to those of us left behind.

    The dignity he afforded Dad when he walked the hearse from the house a significant distance to the main road was not something that was discussed but was a real comfort. The normal world should slow down or stop and be respectful of this significant moment and the dignified procession was beautifully carried out.

    The flag for the coffin was a lovely touch.

    Thank you

  • 5 Mary Millns 15th Jan 2017

    I will never forget his kindness and thank him for all his help and support during this difficult time. 

  • 5 Charlene Jackson 25th Dec 2016

    There are no words to describe how beautiful mums funeral was, we are so happy with the service we were given. John went above and beyond to accommodate everything for us and took alot of stress and pressure from myself and my father.
    Nothing was too much trouble. John is a lovely, warm hearted man too. Very kind, caring and genuine.

  • 5 Zoe Owen 18th Dec 2016

    Would definitely recommend W E Pinder, faultless. Helped make a difficult time a little bit easier by ensuring we had all the information needed to make the right decisions. 
    I especially liked the family feel the business had to it, made you feel that they had a bit more care and compassion for your loved one in the most difficult time.
