Jacqui was so very kind, helpful and reassuring organising Mum’s funeral, as was John a couple of years ago with my Dad. They always have time for you and make an extremely hard time much easier.
Jacqui created a beautiful visual tribute for Mum which was absolutely perfect. Nothing was too much trouble.
The whole team are the best at what they do, treating everyone with so much dignity, respect and professionalism.
I would highly recommend
W E Pinders to anyone.

Genuinely couldn't have asked for better customer care and service. From the minute we made the call to meeting with all the staff involved in Mum's funeral, it has been unbelievably easy to sort all that needed sorting. John has been perfect and so kind and helpful. Pinders could not do anymore than they have done,they are such a kind and caring team. They go above and beyond in times of need. Thankyou isn't enough to express our gratitude for their kindness and compassion during our sad loss.

5Rachel Nettleship4th Feb 2026
We cannot speak highly enough of John and his team, and have no reservations on recommending WE Pinder. They treated our Dad with dignity and respect. We were also looked after with care and consideration, which was needed, especially after losing our Mum only last year. Nothing was ever too much to ask for. Thank you.
Rachel and Richard.

5Lesley Morris6th Jan 2026
From beginning to end the whole process was handled professionally and sensitively by John Pinder. At a time when families can't always think clearly, support is there and nothing was too much trouble. Every little detail was attended to. The Celebrant, Jen, who was recommended to us by WE Pinder was excellent, the flowers were beautiful and the planning of the wake was even taken care of by John. We cannot thank them all enough.

Excellent service from start to finish from all staff, but especially from John and Tom Pinder.
I have used Pinder’s funeral service several times and they have been kind and respectful on each occasion. Nothing was too much trouble and the video of the service was of a very good quality. The flowers were lovely and a fitting tribute to Mum.
Throughout this sad process Mum and family were looked after by the Pinder team.
5Pauline Heyes21st Dec 2025
Pindar’s were amazing from start to finish. Professional, discreet, empathetic and kind.
I dealt with Jacqui mostly, whose calm and confident manner guided me all the way through. In fact all the staff, who we met on the day of the funeral, had the same professional manner.
Pindar’s offered reassurance throughout. Well done.

I would highly recommend WE Pinder and Son Ltd if you are looking for a professional and caring funeral company. From start to finish they were very supportive, informative and empathetic. All the staff who were involved including the funeral director and celebrant were respectful and approachable at this very sensitive and upsetting time.
We particularly loved the slide show in memory of my mum and the happy memories it evoked.
Thank you again for making a difficult day so much easier.
The Nicholds family.

Michael and the team have been nothing short of phenomenal! Their kindness, patience, care and professionalism, has honestly blown me away.
Everything you can think of that needs to be done in organising a funeral, they have taken care of. What it has meant, is me and my family have concentrate on us - I hadn’t appreciated how valuable that would be, but my goodness, I couldn’t be more grateful.
Michael and team, thank you, sincerely from the bottom of my heart, thank you on behalf of all of my family.

This local funeral business has been our family’s go to for many years. At your most vulnerable, John Pinder is a calm, kind and gentle voice. From the first phone call, when you are feeling at your worst, he guides you through step by step, always with your wishes forefront.
