Jonathan Terry funeral directors provided the most perfect service to my mother, my two sisters and myself for my fathers funeral. They accommodated every wish with compassion and reassurance and the service they provided on the day was carried out with such finesse. I would recommend Jonathan Terry services to anyone.

The team at Jonathan Terry were excellent, from meeting them to make the arrangements for Dad's funeral and up until the day of the service. Every staff member was kind, caring and extremely professional throughout. Having used JT for both my mother in law and father in law's funerals, we would not consider using anyone else! Thank you all for your wonderful service.

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.

  • 5 Sheila Hounsell 3rd Jun 2021

    Every member of staff was amazing,with their caring and warm concern that the day would be as smooth as possible for the family. Nothing was too much trouble and every detail was remembered. I felt cocooned and safe in their hands,which was so appreciated when I was feeling so vulnerable and lost. So professional and discreet. I cannot praise them enough and all the family thought the funeral was exactly what Peter would have wanted, and Michael Smith had totally captured the spirit of my son. An amazing team whose expertise was wonderful. Thank you so much .

    Jonathan Terry Peartree, have been used by my family for around 30 years, this in itself shows how this friendly family firm services are, and why we as a family will always use them.

    Always at the end of a phone, ensuring your relative is looked after as wished, to helping with all the small details of planning.

    Exemplary and compassionate service by all employees at all times. They understand emotions and how to ease them for loved ones in a calming manner. A truly professional all-round funeral directors.

  • 5 Stephen Noke 28th Mar 2021

    Jonathan has a very calm and patient manner and the whole company is very professional - we always knew what was happening, we gave approval on all the necessary printed announcements like the echo and order of service. On the day Jonathan told us what we needed to do and ensured the close family were happy with everything. We ordered the flowers via Jonathan at Flowers by My Leslie and they were beautiful. We met the celebrant before the service and a neighbour asked if he was a close friend of my Dad's which I think is a tribute to them getting the story across. I would absolutely recommend Jonathan Terry

  • 5 Sue and Rob Perdue 28th Mar 2021
