We, as a family, cannot thank you all enough for the services you have provided over the last 6 months, following the passing of both my mum and dad. Dad requested a burial, which took place in August and mums cremation was held on Monday 21st March. From the beginning of the process, Sherree and the rest of the team were outstanding. Attention to detail, with regard to the cars, flowers, Order of Service and the conducting of the service, by Andrew Platts, was 'second to none'. She had a wonderful send off.

Kirsty dealt with my Dad’s funeral then 3 months later my Mum’s. She is absolutely amazing, nothing was ever too much trouble. She a loving gentle soul who clearly has passion, respect, understanding and genuine care for you at a very difficult and painful time. I cannot thank John Fairest enough for everything they have done with the loss of my parents

    he was a lovely man and deserved to be looked after properly.

  • 5 Ruth Rose 14th Mar 2022

    I cannot speak too highly of the staff at John Fairest, sadly this is the second time I have used them in a year, but they are so quietly respectful, totally efficient, and always made us feel as though our family mattered, and we’re not just another customer.

  • 5 Glenn Brawn 14th Mar 2022

    Everyone attending said the funeral was perfect, couldn’t have been better. Special praise went to the minister who gave an excellent and very thoughtful service. Also I must thank Sam Smith for his management and attention to detail in arranging funeral.

    We had a joint funeral for our parents who passed away on the same day. Sam and the team at fairest were lovely and supportive through a difficult time and the day was lovely as were the flowers and order of service.

  • 5 Richard Cunningham 18th Feb 2022

    Sam was wonderful right from the start taking us through everything and explaining what would happen. The day was really lovely and the flowers and orders of service we had ordered through fairest were perfect. Us and our parent were treated with respect and supported through an incredibly difficult time.

  • 5 Richard Grey 14th Feb 2022

    A terribly sad time for anyone to go through, but when you're the last one standing and it's the first time you've had to arrange a funeral, makes it all the tougher. Sherree and the team at John Fairest made the task so much easier. They supported and advised me every step of the way. No detail was left untouched and the service was a beautiful and fitting tribute to a dear Mother.
