    John at Pearce funeral services is the nicest most helpful person you could ever wish to meet. As well as every member of his team made a difficult time as comfortable as possible. I cannot recommend highly enough

    I first met Dave and his team almost 9 years ago, when they helped guide my mum through the funeral of my Dad. They did a fabulous job assisting my mum plan my dad's at a very difficult time.
    I would like to say a big thank you to Dave and all of the team for now looking after my Mum after her passing.
    It made me feel very blessed, as I already knew Mum was going into such good hands.
    But the most important thing was the care and attention to detail I knew they'd give Mum.
    Dave is such a lovely man, he's so personable and understanding, and supported us all at a time we felt numb.
    Nothing was too much trouble. I called them on a number of occasions to ask questions, and Dave and the team always made me feel like I was never any trouble, they kept me on track, Helping me organise a beautiful send of for Mum.
    They guided me through the Little things that I didn’t think of. They made one of the hardest things I had to do at a very difficult time, so much eas ... ier.
    Their recommendation of Rob Rowe the celebrant and the way rob took across the personal story of my mum's life, really made her send-off heart-warming. My Mum would have loved it.
    Even after the funeral, Dave and the team did a fabulous job.
    I cannot recommend them enough.
    Thank you all x
    Tracy Grasso

    I cannot thank the staff at Pearce’s enough for their help guiding me through the funeral process for my brother at this very sad time. Caz was especially kind and thoughtful, as were all the staff.  I would not hesitate to recommend Pearce Funeral Services to anyone, they are stars.

  • 5 Hazel Morgan 23rd Mar 2025

    Pearce were wonderful, they advised us all the way through what is always such an emotional wrench for all family members. We were kept up to date on everything happening and offered the best cost solution whilst keeping the respect and dignity required at the end of life. On the day Pearce were amazing and handled everything whilst quietly telling us what would happen, where to stand, where the flowers were to go. Caz was brilliant as FD on the day and I would use Pearce again as I trust them to carry out what was a respectful and sensitive task. I can honestly say the celebration of my Brother's life was a beautiful day.
