John and his colleagues were sensitive and supportive throughout the service. They gave my blind stepfather as much time as he needed to say his goodbyes at the coffin before the service. A professional company from start to finish. Thank you everyone for your kindness and concern at every stage.

    I didn’t choose Pearce Funeral Services the funeral plan did, however they were wonderful, kind, compassionate and showed great empathy. Right from the very start they communicated with me, I knew exactly what was going to happen. I would ask people to consider this funeral service as they made a very difficult time somewhat easier

  • 5 Yvonne Gardiner 7th Jun 2021

    My family and I were touched by the warmth and the support which we received at a very emotional and difficult time for us, but the reassurance we received was a comfort to us all and on behalf of myself and my family we cannot thank you enough for everything you did and are still talking about the funeral now. So the grieving procedure starts with fond memories of MOTHER/MOTHER-IN-LAW and of course GRANNY, we feel her in our hearts every day and will take some time to recover from the heartbreak. So a huge huge thank you to all at pearces funeral directors, hope you got the thank you , card, God bless you all...Mr.Mrs. Gardiner

  • 5 Paul Culbert 8th May 2021

    The care provided by Pearce Funeral Services was absolutely outstanding. The attention to detail was excellent and there were so many personal touches that I have no hesitation giving the highest recommendation. From my first contact I felt that their service was designed to help meet my needs. I never felt rushed. They clearly have an approach that works. John Pearce was a pleasure to deal with, as were all his staff that I communicated with.

  • 5 Trevor Hamley 3rd May 2021

    From start to finish John and Dave and the team were fantastic. I could not fault them in any way shape or form . Everything my lovely wife wanted for her final farewell to this horrible world she got . Happy as can be with Pearce at this very sad time in my life . 

  • 5 Patrick Saunders 26th Apr 2021

    Mr Pearce and his team gave my mother a really nice send off.
    Nothing was too much trouble I am so glad I used them.
    A mother's funeral is so stressful and Pearce Family Services took away a lot due to their dignity and caring attitude.
    Thankyou again Mr Pearce.

  • 5 Matthew Pearce 23rd Apr 2021

    An individual and caring service, with attention to all our needs from our first telephone contact.
    It’s a distressful time losing a loved one, but John and his team were wonderfully supporting to all the family. And all our requirements were met, all of the time.

  • 5 Shirley Burnham 29th Mar 2021

    Without exception, everyone I spoke to at Pearce Funeral Services took the time to listen, gave sensible answers to my queries and took all the anxiety out of arranging the event. The loss of Tony had been a body blow and complications surrounding the Covid-19 lockdown had only exacerbated my anxiety. It was therefore so refreshing to discover that the top man, John Pearce, and his team rose to the occasion, marshalled their many talents and, on the day itself, demonstrated that Tony's diminutive funeral could be both meaningful and very beautiful. I'd like to thank them

  • 5 Dawn Francis 24th Mar 2021

    Wonderful care throughout the whole journey. Every step of the way I had support from the whole team. Thank you for making my dads service and care so exceptional. You guys have never let our family down each time you have had to be there. 

  • 5 Valerie Burston 20th Mar 2021

    Thank you so much, John and your whole team, for the most wonderful, compassionate and personal care you gave us as a whole family, for our mother’s funeral. You went out of your way to make such a sad time so much easier for us all to bear. We really appreciate the personal touches and total empathy shown by you, John. 

  • 5 Elizabeth Trowbridge 13th Mar 2021

    Very respectful and caring from start to finish . They guided us all at every moment before the funeral and on the day. Nothing was too much trouble. We were able to give my wonderful husband of 57 years the perfect send off he deserved. Thank you so much to John and all his associates.

  • 5 Glen Balfe 16th Feb 2021

    Would definitely recommend them, nothing was to much trouble and they couldn’t do enough to help us from start to finish. I never felt awkward about ringing them if I was unsure or forgot something , they are genuinely nice people, Dave was brilliant through out and especially on the day.

    Many Thanks Again

  • 5 Margaret McHugh 15th Feb 2021

    John and his team were outstanding! John was so polite, and sorted everything out for me and Mum's needs.
    He was very organised, and on the day of the funeral, he made a sad day easier to bare.
    Just to let us know constantly what was going on, and what we needed to do,
    to put us at ease and never to feel anxious at all, due to how sad it was for us.

    Contacting the office team, they were so good, polite, helpful, nothing seemed to be a problem, what ever I asked.

    I have had such bad times, to lose the two special people in my life, within a year! I have had John take care of both of the services.

    I would highly recommend John and his team to take care of your loved ones.
