John Pearce and his team at Pearce Funeral Services have been wonderful. They have been so kind and supportive from the moment we notified them of our mother's death. They helped us through the funeral preparation process and finally through the funeral service itself. Caz was always there to assist, advise and help to make the day a respectful and special celebration for a 90 year old who lived an amazing life.
