    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.

  • 5 Mary Southgate 9th Feb 2021

  • 5 Paul Eggleton 30th Jan 2021

  • 5 Trudi Ackrill-Watson 18th Oct 2020

    Nothing was too much trouble
    They were amazing and made everything easy at such a difficult time!
    From our first meeting when John came to collect Will from our home in the middle of the night we knew we would be in safe hands!
    There was never any pressure put on us to make a decision - it was all at our own pace! Even payment is not required until after the funeral and even then you have a few weeks in which to pay it which takes the pressure off at such an emotionally charged time!
    On the day of the funeral John literally walked us through every part , making the send off special in every way
    I cannot recommend Pearce Funeral Services enough !!! They really are a family business ! and a big part of ours now !
