We have been so well looked after by Jonathan and his team. It felt like my dad was being looked after by a member of the family. We are all incredibly grateful for the support and kindness they have shown us and you couldn’t be in better hands at such a difficult time. 

Edwin Brian Green 12th Nov 2021

Your service was excellent . from the pick up point to the end of the service was top class. the attendants (drivers and polebearers ) were polite and caring which my family and Julies were put very much at ease. I hope it doesn't happen but if needbe I would chose yourselves again . I will thank my daughter (Flowers at Joanne) for recomending you.

Kirsty Young 9th Nov 2021

Compassionate, kind and professional throughout, instilling confidence from the first moment we spoke. Jonathan dealt with the details with a perfect blend of efficiency without haste, exactly the right approach for my mum. We much appreciated the phone calls to check we were all OK and ready for the day, and the follow-up call afterwards. On the day, the team were smart, polite and looked out for us all. Would recommend in a heartbeat.

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.
