About Us

Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, Pear Tree Avenue, understand the importance of saying goodbye to your loved ones with dignity, respect, and personalised care. As truly independent funeral directors, privately owned and serving all faiths and backgrounds, they are committed to providing a service that honours the unique lives of everyone they serve.

Established in 1999 by Jonathan Terry, who has been dedicated to the funeral profession since 1985, they have built a solid reputation for delivering personal and excellent service to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Over the years, Jonathan Terry have continuously reinvested in their business to ensure that they offer the best possible support to their families. In 2008, in response to the growing demand from families on the eastern side of Southampton, they opened their London Road funeral home.

In 2013, they embarked on a journey of redesign and refurbishment of their Peartree Avenue premises, culminating in the completion of the project in 2014.

A significant milestone in their journey came in December 2018 when they acquired 103 Peartree Avenue and launched the White Lily Centre, a bereavement centre offering counselling services to all. The White Lily Centre stands as a symbol of their commitment to supporting families beyond the funeral itself.

In May 2022, their services were further enhanced with the introduction of a new fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, ensuring that every aspect of your loved one's final journey is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism.

Behind every successful business is a dedicated team, and at Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, there is a team of compassionate professionals who truly believe in the importance of their vocation. Their unwavering commitment to supporting families during your time of need is the cornerstone of their reputation for excellence.

As a truly independent business, they take pride in the reputation they have built, the dedication of their team, and the unparalleled service they offer to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Opened in 1998, their Peartree Avenue funeral home is located at the junction of Gainsford Road and offers a private chapel of rest along with free parking and full disabled access. Their opening times are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday but they are available 24-hours a day by telephone.

    Words don't do Jonathan Terry and his team justice, everyone we've dealt with there has been friendly, polite and respectful and made what is a difficult time that little bit easier. Would especially like to thank Thomas who looked after us and helped all the way through and Matthew Smith who was our celebrant.

  • 5 Sandie Earl 23rd Feb 2025

    We would just like to say that we have nothing but praise for the care, and support we were given by Jonathan Terry's team.
    They made a very difficult time go well.
    They have helped us with the funerals of both our parents over the last few years and have been so kind and helpful.
    Would recommend their services to anyone who was in our position

  • 3 Rachel Creighton 18th Feb 2025

    The people that work there are friendly enough but I seemed to have to chase them quite a lot. Photos got lost and had to be re-submitted, details from the celebrant couldn’t be found so I had to chase the celebrant and she’d sent them 2 weeks prior. I had to keep chasing on the music too. At a time that is stressful enough I could have done with it all being a bit smoother on the run up. Thankfully the day itself went without hitch but unfortunately we were all quite anxious until it was over!

  • 5 Steven West 17th Feb 2025

    Jonathan Terry could not have made things easier or simpler. Delighted with their professionalism and quality of what they did for our family at such a difficult time.
