All we can say is if you want an honest, ethical, kind and sensitive funeral director, look no further than John Pinder, he is top notch. From start to finish John's wealth of experience, knowledge and attention to detail coupled with his gentle manner has given us much reassurance that we were giving my Father the best care on his final journey. My extended family have used W.E. Pinder for all our dear departed loved ones for many, many years. They have always given us excellent service during the most difficult of times and treated our loved ones with dignity and respect.

At a time of distress I could not praise WE Pinders and specifically Michael Towle enough. Compassionate and highly professional from the first meeting to the conclusion. Took away a lot of worry because I knew that everything was in their safe hands. High recommended.

  • 5 Linda White 10th Feb 2023

    Our Mum Margaret Needham would have loved her celebration at St Mary's Church Tickhill.
    She looked so peaceful and smart when we went to see her, the casket would have been what she would have chosen for herself.
    John and everyone at W E Pinder were so kind and professional.
    Her Grandsons were guided to carry her to and from the church and to her resting place with our Dad, she would have been so proud as were we.
    They have looked after our family past and present taking care of everything so we didn't have to worry, we would not ask anyone else to take care of the ones we love.
    We would just like to say Thank you.

Would definitely recommend.

  • 5 Bronwen Ninan 10th Dec 2022

    From the very first moment I telephoned Michael Towle at Pinders, I felt I was in kind and safe hands. It was such a relief.  I had not known what to do at all after my mother died suddenly.  Everything was my responsibility and I was quite at a loss regarding what needed to happen.  A close friend recommended this firm and I will be forever thankful that I took their advice and telephoned Pinders.  Michael arranged for my mother to be brought safely back to Yorkshire for her funeral and supported me at what was a very difficult time.  Everything was explained in a very kind and thoughtful way and Michael planned every detail.  My mother's funeral was just as she would have wished and I am immensely grateful to Pinders for all their professional and kind support.

  • 5 Wendy Cox 5th Dec 2022
