  • 5 Sheila Attwater 20th Mar 2026

    From my initial contact with John Lee and Rob Rowe who were professional but thoughtful and caring, right through to the actual service at the crematorium, I cannot praise all the staff at Pearce Funeral Services highly enough.
    After my six stressful weeks of waiting for the day to come it was stress-free and totally supportive of me.
    It was all I hoped it would be, and so much more.

    We cannot thank Pearce Funeral Service enough for the care and support they gave us. From start to finish they truly went above and beyond, not only looking after Pat with dignity and respect but also supporting our family through a very difficult time.


    Everything ran smoothly and was handled with such professionalism, which gave us real peace of mind. At the same time, the team were incredibly warm, kind and personal in their approach – nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal.

    Their compassion and attention to detail meant so much to us, and we will always be grateful for how well they looked after Pat and our family. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a caring and professional service.

  • 5 Theresa Wilsdon 12th Mar 2026

    Having used Pearce Funerals just 5 short months ago for my mum, I had no hesitation in contacting them again to plan my dad's funeral just last week. John and his team are caring and compassionate right from the very first phone call. They listen carefully to your needs and accommodate accordingly, nothing is too much trouble. 

    In a time when your head is a muddle they are calm and talk you through everything and offer advice. The aftercare does not stop on the day of the funeral either. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pearce Funerals they are the Rolls Royce standard of funeral directors that you want for your loved ones. 

  • 5 Karen Allen 8th Mar 2026

    Mums Funeral was perfect. From the very first moment I spoke to John Pearce I felt in safe hands. We were guided through the whole process with care and dignity. Cassie was a great help on the day!

  • 5 Jose Fernandes 7th Mar 2026

    It was fantastic funeral service and I would recommend it to any family. 

  • 5 Fabrizio Assini 28th Feb 2026

    I cannot thank Pearce Funeral Service enough for the care, kindness, and professionalism they showed after my mum passed away from cancer. This was the first funeral I have ever had to organise, and naturally I felt overwhelmed, but they made what could have been an incredibly daunting process feel supported and manageable every step of the way.




    From our very first meeting, the team were warm, considerate, and genuinely compassionate. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed throughout, and made sure no question ever felt too small. Their communication was excellent, and I always felt reassured that everything was in safe hands.




    Caz, in particular, was absolutely spectacular. Her empathy, patience, and attention to detail went above and beyond, and it truly made a difference during such a difficult time. She struck that perfect balance of professionalism and heartfelt care, and I will always be grateful for how supported she made me feel.




    On the day itself and in the follow-up afterwards, the team continued to be courteous, respectful, and impeccably organised. They honoured my mum with dignity and ensured everything ran smoothly, which allowed me and my family to focus on remembering her.




    I would wholeheartedly recommend Pearce Funeral Service to anyone needing compassionate, professional support. They made an incredibly painful time gentler, and I will always be thankful for their kindness.

  • 5 Darren Jell 28th Feb 2026
