Caz at Pearce Funeral Services has been excellent. She has been efficient and knowledgeable but more than that she has been kind and thoughtful. My mum and I appreciate the time and attention to detail that she has given us after the passing of my dear dad. Many friends and family members were complimentary of the funeral service and much of that is due to Caz. Thank you.

  • 5 David Neal 17th Jan 2026

    We used Pearce Funeral Services after a recommendation from a friend. Caz was fantastic from start to finish. She went above and beyond and made a very painful time completely stress free. Everything was taken care of and we didn't need to worry about anything but saying goodbye. We are so very grateful. I would also recommend using Rob Rowe as a Funeral celebrant. Thank you Caz for everything you did for our family.

  • 5 Erica Neal 16th Jan 2026

    The process of arranging my husband's funeral from start to finish has been flawless. I felt that he was in safe hands throughout and the attention to detail was amazing. Everything that I requested was carried out and nothing was too much trouble. Dave, in particular, I'd like to thank. He was there at the first initial meeting when I viewed my husband and he was there at the funeral. It made a huge difference having consistency and a friendly face that seemed to understand our grief and put us at ease. Thank you to the team for your professionalism during this really difficult time for me and the family. Erica

    I cannot thank Caz and her colleagues enough for the care and compassion they have shown Phil and our family from the first time we met her when she came to take Phil into their care, until his funeral yesterday at St Mary's in Lydiard Park. We couldn't have asked for anything more. Questions were answered promptly and requests managed.
    Thank you to all we met at Pearce Funeral Services in Stratton St Margaret and Westlea.

    Pearce Funeral Services helped to make mum's burial really special. Nothing was too much trouble, they kept in touch and ensured everything we wanted for the service was in place.
    Caz deserves a special mention for being our key contact and a truly wonderful, supportive person.

  • 5 Anne Lynch 22nd Dec 2025

    Saying goodbye to a loved one is a very daunting prospect, but from start to finish John Lee and the whole team at Pearce Funeral Directors were compassionate, considerate, and extremely respectful in helping us plan my dad’s funeral. They were always at the end of the phone with much-needed guidance,care and support. We will be forever grateful. Thank you.

  • 5 Mark Williams 21st Dec 2025

    Excellent service.

  • 5 Helen Crook 8th Dec 2025

    Pearce Funeral Services are next to none. John was kind and understanding as was everyone else I came into contact with when organising my Fathers service. Pearce has helped my family for years regarding multiple services. I know family members who have specifically requested their services upon their passing. Their approach is clearly a labour of love and not of profit. I myself will likely leave instruction for the use of Pearce when the time comes. I could not recommend them enough. 

  • 5 Judith Evans 29th Nov 2025

    We felt looked after all the way through with such respect and honour for our Dad. Thank you.
