I really don’t know where to begin, I contacted John and his team on the morning my dad passed and spoke with Caz who was so lovely so caring and listened to everything I was telling her taking the time to make notes, explaining everything in detail, so I understood, as soon as John returned to the office he called me  a lovely compassionate man who went that extra mile to help me and my family, I can’t thank them enough, nothing was any trouble they kept us updated regularly, they couldn’t have done anymore for us the funeral itself was perfect  just as dad would have liked and such a lovely touch that all the funeral staff wore yellow ties on the day to match the family, thank you John your such a kind man Sarah and family of Fred Wright 

Emma Walker 22nd Oct 2022

Pearce Funeral Services looked after the funeral arrangements for us after my dad passed away and I cannot speak highly enough of the the service and support we received. I actually originally sought the services of another well known funeral director but was given very little guidance or support and shown little compassion for our situation. We were treated like a number on a conveyor belt! I was so upset that  I looked for another company and found the brilliant Pearce Funeral Services following recommendations from friends. I can confidently say that not all Funeral Directors are the same! John and his team at Pearce Funeral Services treated my dad with such dignity and respect and guided us every step of the way with such compassion, warmth, professionalism, and care. The funeral itself was thoughtfully tailored to us as a family with some beautiful personal touches that will stay with us forever.  The service itself was carried out by an excellent celebrant arranged through John, who carried out a wonderfully warm and very fitting tribute to my dad.   Words really can’t express enough how grateful we are to Pearce Funeral Services. They have been so kind to my family and me and we will never forget the kindness, guidance and support they have given us through this really emotional and difficult time.   I have no hesitation in recommending Pearce Funeral Services to anyone who wants the personal touch and the best possible farewell for their loved ones.

Jane Hart 20th Oct 2022

This is the third time we have used there services, but this time for a burial. I can’t fault them, from start to finish they were always there for me.  Would happily recommend

    Losing a family member is always hard. But the moment I phoned Pearce Funeral Services and spoke to Caz everything eased. She has been amazing. From all the little touches like swapping hearts across.. (crocheted ones) to looking after Jacquie. And helping me arrange every little detail the day was just perfect. I would definitely recommend them to anyone! Thank you so much Caz and all your team.

    I cannot express adequately how grateful I was to have John's caring, professional guidance through the difficult time of my mother's death and funeral. I cannot envisage a better service, he went above and beyond for our family and I am so very grateful we chose Pearce funeral directors and recommend them unreservedly.

  • 5 Beverley Siddle 18th Apr 2022

    My family & I would highly recommend Pearce Funeral Services. John and all of the team were so professional, sympathetic & understanding. Nothing was too much trouble. They were with us all the way, supporting us from our first phone call to the end of the funeral service. I am confident this level of service will continue until we have collected Mum’s ashes. We can’t thank everyone enough. 

  • 5 Anna Henson 12th Apr 2022

    Having dealt with funeral directors in the past, I have never had the pleasure of one who took time to listen, to explain, and to be supportative to me, and my family. John Pearce stands out as very different here is a man and company who care about their customers during a very difficult time of loosing a loved one. From start to finish Pearce Funeral services offer a personal, caring, service and on the day of the funeral their presence and kindness make a huge difference. We would recommend Pearce funerals, individual, caring services , simply the best
