They were very professional but reassuring at what is a very difficult time. Communication and contact was excellent so I always felt reassured that mum was in a safe place and everything was going to plan to make the funeral as special as it could be.

We cannot speak too highly of W E Pinder & Son who dealt with the funeral arrangements for our son Mark Russell Hercock.
John Pinder handled everything for us and from our first contact to the funeral itself, John demonstrated extraordinary attention to detail.
In our grief we had every confidence that all matters would be addressed and that we would not have to worry about anything.
John is very professional: he guided us through every aspect of the arrangements but in a relaxed and informal way that made us feel comfortable.
The service in Holy Trinity Church, Everton and the burial in Everton Cemetery were handled meticulously and the whole proceedings gave us great comfort.
At a time of extreme sorrow we cannot thank John and his colleagues enough for all that they did for us.
We strongly recommend W E Pinder & Son without reservation.
Ann & Tony Hercock

We chose Pinders to carry out the Funeral arrangements for our Mum and I can honestly say that the service they offered was exceptional, they took a bit part of the stress away from us and just got on with dealing with everything. They listened and the attention to details was spot on. The whole process and service was just so personal it was like they knew my Mum. I would highly recommend Pinders to anyone who may be looking for a perfect fit to lay their loved ones to rest.

WE Pinders were amazing in this sad time for our family. Michael who dealt with us was so caring and thoughtful and he really took care of my nanna who was planning the funeral and talked her through everything. We are so grateful for the kind thoughtful way we were treated by everybody.
5Suzanne Lee27th Jan 2021
Was organised very well without me having to worry about anything. It was all sorted out and our wishes were adhered to . Thank you .
5Jennifer Worthington18th Jan 2021
I, and family, cannot thank John and his team enough for everything they did for organising my husband’s funeral. John is caring, considerate and kind. He is helpful and never too busy to give any information when contacted.
A thank you also is due to Alistair Butler, the Celebrant, for giving a moving service.
The commitment of John and Alistair was so very much appreciated and thank you seems inadequate.
5Lynn Jellis15th Jan 2021
You could not ask for any better service no matter how many times you contacted them
5Georgina Thomasson12th Jan 2021
Michael was very thoughtful and approachable. Very reassuring and professional. Treated the whole family with dignity and that gave us such comfort that Mum was being properly cared for.
5Catherine Spooner28th Dec 2020
Pinders made the whole process so easy at a time when I was unable to think clearly. They arranged absolutely everything and walked me through step by step so professionally and we’re so kind and thoughtful. I can’t thank them enough or recommend more highly. Thank you
5Samantha Hartley28th Dec 2020
Thank you for your support at this difficult time, the manner in which you conduct your business is exceptional. Your understanding of the family needs were met with great respect. All our requests for the funeral were welcomed with positive support, your vehicles are immaculate, we thought the hearse with the lighting in the back was so fitting for us with the Royal Airforce Flag used as we requested. Truly professional staff, your services have really helped us during this very difficult time. Thank you so much.
Mr and mrs Hartley.
