Thank you, John Pearce and your entire Team for looking after our Mum. We had two different services held over two days, and both days went seamlessly! John and his Team were always just a phone call away and ensured all of our requests were met. They were well prepared for every scenario and had a lot of patience and respect for everyone. Having John and his team onboard meant that we could focus on the memories of our Mum and cherish them, and not worry about the logistics of the funeral. Thank you John and Team once again, and we wish abundant blessings on your Ministry. Love and kind regards from the De Souza family xx

We arrived at Pearce Funeral Directors after already another selecting another funeral service that we became uncomfortable with.

Our transfer to Pearce was made seamlessly easy as John took over and ensured our preferred dates for the service were secured.

This was the first time we had organised a funeral and John held our hands every step of the way and showed genuine compassion and concern in what is a very admin-intensive time.  There is so much to navigate in a short space of time whilst you are grieving and John shared much of his experience to prepare us and assist us.

The whole of his team are kind, compassionate, efficient, and extremely easy to talk to.

Their core values and ethics ensure a high standard of care with a strong focus on serving the family well. This ensured that we had the celebration of life for our cherished mum that she deserved and we needed.

5 Theresa Wilsdon 20th Oct 2025

We chose Pearce Funerals because of the excellent feedback we read. From day one we knew we had made the right choice. My mum passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in another county. John and his team guided us through every step of getting mum back home and then working with us to give mum the funeral she deserved. John is caring, gentle and professional in every aspect of his job. Kaz was lovely too as we shared chats and thoughts about nothing in particular. I will be forever grateful that we entrusted Pearce Funerals to help us get through a very difficult time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

During the hardest time of my life, John and his team were a true comfort. They handled everything with such compassion and care, always checking in on me, not just with the arrangements but personally as well, they truly went above and beyond. They took wonderful care of my husband and nothing was ever to much trouble to them. They gave him a beautiful service, one that truly celebrated his life, and I’ll always be grateful for that.

Thank you for your support and guidance with the arrangements for Anne’s funeral. Being able to spend time in the Chapel of Rest with Anne was a private and peaceful experience for me. To be able to share our thoughts and love with Anne at this difficult time was a great comfort to us.

I would also like to extend my thanks to the team on the day of the funeral. Their kindness, empathy and professionalism throughout was a great support.

Highly recommend the wonderful service that was provided by Mr Pearce and his team recently including chapel of rest and organisation of our dear friend's burial service. Caring, respectful, professional and reassuring - exactly what was needed at a difficult time. Nothing is too much trouble and every interaction was kind, knowledgeable and supportive. Thank you so much, it has meant the world to all of us to have you there at every step and particularly on the day of the funeral and at the committal itself, everything went exactly to plan and was so well prepared, which has left us all with good memories. Thank you.

As a family we found Pearce Funeral Services to be first class. From start to finish everything was planned and communicated to us and if we had any issues or concerns these were all addressed upon request.

Our Mums funeral was as a good as it can be and everyone at Pearce made this possible. We have nothing but thanks and admiration to all those at Pearce Funeral Services. Thank You.

My husband Michael did not was the traditional Crematorium funeral with an following Wake. 
John Pearce was recommended to me by family connection and when I contacted him he was able to offer exactly the right, appropriate, private and unattended cremation which totally suited my husband’s wishes.
The service from John Pearce’s organisation was respectful and professional.
I cannot praise them too highly, nothing was too much trouble with he gently took guided me through the whole process.

5 Martin Cubbage 15th Sep 2025

We found that choosing a funeral director to be quite daunting. It was the last thing we could for our dear mother and we wanted ensure that everything was carried out

We originally chose Pearce Funeral Services, because of their excellent reviews and also because they are local to where we live - its good to support local business.

We definitely made the right choice. They were excellent from the very start, listening carefully to our wishes and providing the necessary guidance with compassion and professionalism. All of the specific requests that we made were taken into account and carried out just as we had asked.

The funeral went exactly as we had hoped and was a true celebration of my mother's life. John Pearce was exceptional, making sure that everything was taken care of efficiently and with empathy, giving my mother the send-off she deserved.

5 Brenda Fidler 5th Sep 2025

The service is outstanding.  Every question is answered fully with sympathy and understanding.  There was time to go away, consider the options, and we never felt rushed into making decisions.  The consideration given from all the staff at Pearce funerals just helped with the difficult situation we didn’t want to be in. Thank you

5 Maria Ogbourne 4th Sep 2025

Caz and the team have been so kind and helpful throughout the whole process, and endeavour to help with questions and requests. Admittedly there has been some delay in responses, but that was expected given the time of year. I would recommend them to anyone who has the misfortune to need their services. Thank you Caz.

Pearce funeral directors provided an excellent service for my mothers funeral. We had used Pearce for my father in 2018 and wanted them to look after my mum in the same professional and thoughtful way. The family would like to thank the whole team at PFS but a special thank you to Dave once again for your kind, thoughtful and professional conduct for both our parents. Would highly recommend.

Special thanks from the family

5 Jeni Boddy 3rd Aug 2025

I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I was with the amount of effort, gentleness and calmness that was what I saw during my mother's funeral, held by Pearce Funeral Services. I had a few friends come to support myself and my family and a few of them said how intimate and personal the service was and how it didn't feel at all rushed and was done in such a delicate way.

Thank you so very much
