Through such a tremendously difficult time for the family, the team at W E Pinder were both professional and compassionate. They listened, provided clear and timely advice and delivered an exceptional personal service.

5Maxine Clark22nd Oct 2018
John Pinder has made an unbearable time in our lives, very special, from when we first met him and throughout the journey. His approach to our grief was very calming and pleasant, with such warmth from him, which made our journey easier along the way.
Everything was handled with such professionalism, sincerity and grace to make our day memorable in the best possible way.
We are so glad that we used his services and are so grateful for his kindness throughout.
Thank you from our hearts to the WE Pinder Service

5Michael Helme3rd Apr 2018
John and the team could not have been any more considerate and professional. Prior to the Funeral every single aspect for the day and many related events were most thoroughly covered.
On the day John and the team were absolutely wonderful. They helped us through the day from start to finish.
It is a difficult time when a loved one dies. Pinders took away all the anguish and worry around the arrangements for the Funeral. They were absolutely first class. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Thank you John and your team.
5Sian Peacey3rd Apr 2018
Absolutely wonderful service from start to finish. W E Pinder take the worry out of funeral arranging and make everything very easy indeed. Their kindness and general demeanour is wonderful and I can't recommend them highly enough. I was delighted with every aspect of their work, on all three occasions that I used them.
5Dean Richardson31st Mar 2018
From the moment that we met first John we knew that we were in good hands. This was the first time that we had lost someone so close to us and John understood how tough it was to deal with, especially trying to arrange things so quickly after Mum passed away. He was very professional and helped us the whole way through the process from the administration and formalities (that you don't know are coming) through to deciding on the most personal and emotional details at this difficult time. He made it so easy and simple with his knowledge and organisational skills that it took a lot of the stress away so that we could focus on grieving and putting together our own tributes to make it as perfect as possible for Mum and all of us. The funeral was a celebration and everything went perfectly. Thank you John.

Excellent service. John was very good and kept me aware of progress all the way through. The funeral went very well and was well organised, thank you
5Michael Johnson15th Jan 2018
Just perfect. It had all the required ingredients and more: Professional, Sensitive, Listening, Caring, Consultative, providing Leadership when required. Pinders carried out their huge responsibilities impeccably - enabling Family, Friends and Contacts to concentrate on what was important to them on the day: their last opportunity to say farewell to our father, Frank Johnson. Thank you Pinders, you did everything so well from start to finish. Michael Johnson, son and co-Executor with Steve Johnson.

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
