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.

    From the first point of contact Jonathan and his colleagues were kind, compassionate, patient, understanding, and efficient. They held our hand through the whole process, kept us informed, gently reminded us when things needed to be submitted to them, and on the day did our Mum proud. Jonathan Terry came highly recommended by others and we were not disappointed. Thank you taking the stress out of organising the day so we could focus on saying good night to our Mum

  • 5 Brent Robson 24th Mar 2023

    From our initial meeting Ben and the team were professional, attentive.

    Our Mothers cremation organisation was genuinely caring, compassionate, empathetic.

    My brother and i were kept up to date with the procedure's progress, very well informed throughout.

    Our specific requests were given an impetus by all concerned in the planning.

    All aspects of our Mother's Celebration of life were carried out with respect, dignity, care . Any additional distress was removed due to the imperturbable respect shown by Ben and the team.

    The chapel of rest was beautiful, tranquil and provided a priceless last moment with Mum.

    Everything was efficient, smooth accomplished for Mum and her family.

    I thank you all for making an emotional , gruelling time easier than it would have been without your proficiency.

    Sincerely, thank you Brent

    Johnathan Terry's have been fantastic, in help, support and professionalism, we could not ask for more in such hard times, they take a very personal approach to the situation which allows them to give the best services and make it feel bespoke to the person who has passed, this is the third time we have used them and we will carry on doing so due to the above reasons.
    Thank you so much.
    The family of Susan Day

    A professional and caring service by Jonathan Terrys team. From collecting dad from the care home the carers said how both dad and themselves were treated with dignity and respect and this also extended to the family. A big thank you to Ben for his caring manner and support at this sad time. A truly first class service from start to finish

    Thank you Jonathan Terry from the bottom of our hearts for your compassion, professionalism shown to our family throughout the whole sad process of arranging our mums funeral. 💗✨😞

  • 5 Rebecca Powell 5th Mar 2023

    A first class team at Jonathan Terry. Everyone that we had any sort of contact with be it by phone or in person were respectful at a difficult time, and most importantly made you feel like you and your loved one were in safe hands.
    On a previous occasion it was Jonathan Terrys team that came out to my mum in the middle of the night they were still all dressed impeccably as always as was the case for my husbands funeral. I also used a celebrant suggested by them Diane she was so friendly and again conducted a first class service. They think of everything which is what you want at a challenging time.
