    I cannot thank the staff at Pearce’s enough for their help guiding me through the funeral process for my brother at this very sad time. Caz was especially kind and thoughtful, as were all the staff.  I would not hesitate to recommend Pearce Funeral Services to anyone, they are stars.

  • 5 Hazel Morgan 23rd Mar 2025

    Pearce were wonderful, they advised us all the way through what is always such an emotional wrench for all family members. We were kept up to date on everything happening and offered the best cost solution whilst keeping the respect and dignity required at the end of life. On the day Pearce were amazing and handled everything whilst quietly telling us what would happen, where to stand, where the flowers were to go. Caz was brilliant as FD on the day and I would use Pearce again as I trust them to carry out what was a respectful and sensitive task. I can honestly say the celebration of my Brother's life was a beautiful day.

    From the first phone call, to the moment the drivers left us at the wake the service you provided was absolutely flawless. The way you dealt with us made us feel so important. You really care about the service you provide and it really shows. Your attention to detail is incredible, and so touching. For you all to arrive with red ties on to match our STFC theme, and John's little robin on his lapel, it all meant the world to us, we cannot thank you enough. We will always recommend you.
