Graham Mansell 18th Mar 2024

I highly recommend Pearce Funeral Services who have conducted the funerals for two members of my family within the past year (summer and winter 2023). Pearce Funeral Services are professional, polite, kind and compassionate. I have nothing but praise for Caz, the funeral director, and John Pearce himself, both of whom were flawless in the service provided for what was a difficult and emotional time, especially so given the difficult circumstances of my sisters passing. Nothing was too much trouble and they worked tirelessly to provide the best possible service. I hope I have no need to plan a funeral in the near future, but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to use Pearce Funeral Services and I can't recommend them highly enough to anyone who needs to plan a funeral. Thank you to Caz and everyone at Pearce Funeral Services for everything you have done for my family.

Paul Derriman 18th Mar 2024

Pearce Funeral services have been excellent throughout the planning and service of my mums funeral. They have been professional and helpful and Caz in particular couldn’t have done any more to help us at such a difficult time. She is a credit to her company.

  • 5 Gillian Mitchell 9th Mar 2024

    On a sad day the attention to detail was amazing. Looked after so well. Definitely recommend. 

  • 5 Gerald Kelly 24th Feb 2024

    Fantastic service from this local family firm. Deeply experienced, they were full of advice for our family all the way through - this was our first experience of organising a funeral for a close family member, so all of that advice was invaluable. Would recommend without hesitation.

  • 5 Angelique Holgate 24th Feb 2024

    Pearce Funeral Services provided an exceptional service from the first phone call with Caz through to the committal of our dear son (brother/uncle). As a family we had not been through this process ourselves so close to home but Pearce Funeral Services guided us through the process with compassion and understanding and nothing was too much trouble.

    During this sad time Pearce Funeral Services went at our pace which meant we were able to deal with our grief without feeling under any pressure to get things done. They always kept us informed along the journey so we knew what was happening and what to expect next which was a great relief for us.

    We as a family are so grateful to Pearce Funeral Services for their outstanding and exceptional service throughout which was second to none. We would like to say a very big 'Thank you' although these words don't seem enough to express our gratitude to you all at Pearce Funeral Services.

  • 5 Dermot Fuller 23rd Feb 2024

    Pearce Funeral Services dealt with all issues of the funeral arrangements and funeral itself in a professional and compassionate manner. Their contact throughout was excellent and much appreciated.

  • 5 Hannah-Louise Fusco 22nd Feb 2024

    Pearce look after everything from the beginning to the end. When we lost my uncle, it was so sudden we were all in shock and hadn't planned a funeral before. John came over and he was so kind and friendly. He let us cry, laugh, shout, reminisce and ask as many questions as we needed. He confirmed that they would do anything we needed and that everything didn't have to be done straight away and we had time to process and think. What I particularly liked was the fact he spoke to the youngest member of the family directly and explained things to her slowly and throughly and said that everything could be her pace. We had gentle reminders for deadlines through email and phone and to check in on us. Caz was absolutely fantastic, kind, friendly, supportive, gentle and she cared. We as a family were never rushed for anything at all throughout. On the day of the funeral Caz stood in a carpark holding a speaker with my uncles favourite song (this was a way she found to complete our wishes) with a possession of cars behind, and her empathy was outstanding, it was like she had known him. Pearce knew the grief we were going through, and it was almost like they joined our family for the process and couldn't do enough for us. They carried out every single wish we had and nothing was too much trouble. I honestly couldn't recommend Pearce enough, the empathy they show is outstanding and I will always be grateful for them for not only looking after my uncle but for looking after my whole family. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
