As a family, we would like to thank everyone at Jonathan Terry’s, Peartree Avenue,  for their care, patience and guidance during this time.  The whole team were incredibly supportive and thoughtful throughout: from the initial contact with Tracey, to the meeting with Jonathan, to all the people involved on the day itself. Their attentiveness to detail and understanding of our mum were demonstrated with their choice of Dave on the day, who was so thoughtful and kind, to their choice of celebrant Matthew, who captured mum perfectly and wrote the most beautiful celebration of her life.  Our heartbreak and grief were handled with sensitivity, dignity and professionalism throughout, which helped make it so much easier for the whole family during this difficult time.

We are really happy with the service. A representative came to see us at our family home and offered a comprehensive briefing on what our options were as well as answering all of the questions we had written down. Supported our family at an incredibly difficult time and we didn’t have to worry about any aspect of the arrangements.  J.T. funeral directors were considerate, sympathetic, and they were able to not only work with us but offer input in areas that we were undetermined. For any particular wishes that we had, Mr Terry ensured that they were catered for. The staff at J.T. funeral directors and very polite, kind, and gracious. The considerate touches where it matters and processional choreography on behalf of the mourning family is immensely noteworthy. Communication was easy and Mr Terry kept in touch very regularly. We couldn’t have asked for a lovelier, beautiful service for our loved one. The whole family and our friends were totally pleased with how the day went. Thank you.

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.

    Your service to us was excellent, thoughtful and caring with personal attention to detail throughout. Especially your patience in helping us to find the music that Ted had enjoyed playing on his piano at home to accompany the service. People who attended have commented how friendly and family orientated our celebration of Ted's life was. Thankyou to you all for helping us to achieve this.

    I would like to say a huge thank-you to Jonathan Terry and his staff for their help, professionalism and dignity that they all showed before and during my Mothers funeral.  They made a very difficult event easier to cope with; especially when we could not attend due to various situations at the time.   
    It was a strange feeling watching her funeral via the webcast and not being able to actually be there to say goodbye.  Again thank-you to Jonathan Terry.

  • 5 Clair Myerscough 4th Apr 2020

    Jonathan Terry have done a brilliant job, during what must be a very strange and difficult time for the funeral industry. They have shown the utmost professionalism, dealing with my father and our grieving family, with genuine respect, empathy and kindness. Sadly we were unable to give dad the send-off he deserved, but they did everything possible to ensure it was still very special and personal. I will be using them for dad’s memorial service when these strange and dangerous times, have passed. In the meantime, I wish them strength and safety for the months that lie ahead. Thank you so much, to all of you at Jonathan Terry. Stay safe. May we all meet on the other side of this. XX
