I had to arrange the removal and cremation of my father in law due to the virus. Pearce's could not have been more accommodating and helpful, keeping me informed of everything along the way. They made it very easy for my family. Thank you.

Belinda was so helpful all the way through, she guided us on what is an unusual time for funerals (in lockdown) and made sure we were still able to make it special. Nothing was too much trouble and we could phone at any time to talk anything through. They were also great on the day and again very supportive.

    I cannot thank John and his team for such loving care of my late step dad neil. Such lovely people. All the staff gave my family 100% of their time. Nothing was to much trouble. A very personal approach. I have had to arrange several funerals in the past and used other funeral services. They are not a patch on Pearce Funeral Services. I cannot thank John and his fabulous team enough. When i go (hopefully not yet) I want John and his team to look after me. Professionalism to the highest.

  • 5 Steve Lydon 17th Mar 2020

    My first contact was with Belinda McCormick.   Belinda was caring and professional throughout.
    Belinda exceeded my expectations and was a real support for me and the rest of the family at this difficult time.
    Belinda directed the funeral on the  day and was the upmost professional and caring.
    I highly recommend Pearce Funeral Services.  I also would like to say that Belinda is a tremendous asset to the business

    Pearce funeral services were amazing. The support we received from Belinda and John throughout the whole process from the initial call right through to the day was incredible and overwhelming. As you can imagine organising funerals isn't an every day thing but I know that if Nan was here right now she would be proud of the send off that she did have and that is all down to Pearce. Belinda was also very helpful and informative when it came to letting us know about funding help which no other provider informed us about and they are very personal, empathetic and don't treat the funeral arrangements as another transaction which is much better than any other corporate funeral company. We would highly recommend Pearce Funeral to anyone!

  • 5 Pam Humphris 17th Jan 2020

    Pearce Funeral Services are excellent. Extremely professional but also very understanding,  caring, considerate and helpful. The help we received from day one up until the funeral itself was perfect. We cannot thank them enough. 

  • 5 Jean White 29th Oct 2019

    Hi John Was just going to send you an email when I saw this in my inbox. Just wanted to say a huge thank you for the services you have provided myself and my family in respect of Dad. Nothing was too much trouble for you although you were always professional at all times you provided a service that was unique and individual to each one of us. It did not feel at any time that we were dealing with a company who just ticked all the appropriate boxes. You had each one of us at heart and adapted everything to our needs. I cannot  thank you enough. Dad had an excellent service and send off that brought out his character which was what we wanted. We have had excellent feedback from family and friends. Your personal service really stands out John please send our thanks to everyone within Pearce Funeral Services team. I know that Mum and Teresa will be coming in to see you later to settle up the financial side of things. Mum is already saying that she wants to take out funeral plan with you and we will arrange that later when she feels a bit stronger to tackle that. Thanks again Tina

    I would like to thank you so much for the professional way that you organised my mother’s funeral. I was welcomed and introduced to John who was very friendly and made me feel relaxed from the outset on this difficult day. Nothing was too much trouble and therefore I was able to take some time until I felt ready to proceed. I was very happy with your services and would like to thank you once again for your kindness and support on the day.
    Kind regards
