Care and compassion shown throughout the process. So very well organised and nothing was too much trouble. It was so reassuring when questions asked the response was ‘ don’t worry we can take care of that’   Such helpful, knowledgeable  staff from Trish right through to the staff on the day. First class service thank you.

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.

  • 5 Victoria Hatton 18th Jan 2022

    We as a family would just like to say a huge thank you for everything the team at Jonathan Terry have done for us during a very difficult and emotional time.   We (and my husband) have been given the upmost respect and kept informed as to what was happening/would happen at all times and the funeral went without any problems.   Jonathan has also been very patient in allowing us the time to decide what we would like to do next to conclude this sad chapter in our lives.      

  • 2 Sandy Clothier 18th Jan 2022

    I feel there are options which should be discussed at the time of planning. For example -
    Our party were let out of car and not directed to entrance, leaving us to mingle with those waiting in car park. I am told this could have been stipulated at time of planning. I did ask for my son and daughter to join us at the car/entrance and this was not done.
    Also we were not asked whether we wished for guests to be directed out of the chapel before the family at the end of the service. I am told this could have been requested. 
    I had to ask for flowers to be returned to florist asap - message was not received, even though florist put a sign on wreath with request. However, this was quickly addressed by Ben. 
    Celebrant gave wrong date of death for my mother. 
    I feel it would also be helpful if information could be given at time of planning regarding seat layout, i.e. how many seats each side on front row. This would enable people to agree where they would sit and families could plan to sit together, rather than scramble once inside the chapel. 

  • 5 Melissa Connolly 16th Jan 2022

    Listened the everything we asked for. Multiple visits to the chapel of rest on short notice and requests. On the day, excellent communication throughout, professional as always. We as a family, thank everyone at JT. 

  • 5 Jean Moore 10th Jan 2022

    I was very satisfied with the service you gave to my family. I will certainly recommend your business to another. Thank you.
                                                                                                   Mrs Jean Moore
