  • 5 Shirley Everton 6th Feb 2026

    Dear John and team - sending an enormous thank you for the wonderful support you provided following our recent bereavement. Your patience, professionalism and advice were invaluable and just what we needed as a family at such an upsetting time. Nothing was too much trouble as you looked after Dad with the utmost care and respect, and kept us in touch throughout.

    I felt really proud on the day of his funeral - the hearse was so smart, with beautiful flowers, and all your help and arrangements at the church allowed us to honour Dad exactly as he would have wanted, without worrying about a thing.

    For anyone experiencing the sad loss of a loved one, we would recommend your firm without hesitation. Thank you for everything, we are truly grateful.

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.

    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.
