  • 5 George Bremner 12th May 2017

    Belinda was lovely and was so caring and put both myself and my daughter at ease from the time we met her right up to the cremation and everybody who attended the crematorium said what a lovely service it was and Marjorie's eulogy was perfect. Thank you for everything.

  • 5 Sandra Murray 9th May 2017

    Belinda was the main person dealing with arrangements for my Dad's funeral. She was extremely well organised, with great attention to detail and yet friendly & sensitive in her approach. I felt confident in Pearce's abilities during the whole process, especially considering the passing of a loved one is a difficult time. They provided sound advice & relevant & useful information. After discussing preferences on the type of funeral, Marjorie Jefferies was recommended to conduct the service and Purple Orchid a florist. All proved to be perfect choices ensuring the preparations and the funeral ran smoothly. I appreciated the genuine interest of staff as to what suited us. As a small family firm, I found them more personable compared with 2 larger firms of whom I made enquiries. I would thoroughly recommend them, & I am so pleased we chose them. Sam Murray
