I have sadly had to use a funeral director twice in the last three years. Jonathan Terry were outstanding on both occasions. They took all of the planning away at a time of grief. I cannot laud them sufficiently. 

Alan Blake 30th Apr 2019

Jonathan Terry conducted my fathers funeral with great dignity, empathy and professionalism. Ed, whom we met for the initial interview, straight away put us at our ease and made many recommendations to help us. There was also a nice touch with the pallbearers wearing the same colour tie as Dad. A special mention should also be made to the minister, Peter White, who was appointed by Jonathan Terry who performed his duties extremely well. I would not have any hesitation in recommending Jonathan Terry to anyone and would like to thank all the staff for making Dad’s funeral so special.

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 Michael Eames 19th Apr 2019

    The service provided by Jonathan Terry, from first contact to the cremation, was professional and supportive. The advice and planning was meticulous and communication throughout the process was excellent. Overall, I don't think the service could have been bettered.

  • 5 Rowan Sheppard 13th Apr 2019

  • 5 Sarah Guy 25th Mar 2019

    Thank you to Jonathan ad all who work there

  • 5 Michael Homer 17th Mar 2019

    Very professional service but with out losing the personal touch. Nothing was too much trouble and they accommodated every wish. For such a sad occasion they made it all the more easier as the day went without a hitch. Thank you for effort put in to celebrate my dads life.

  • 5 Jayne Thomas 11th Mar 2019

    Margaret and Sarah were so good from start to finish with our requests and arrangements.  Sally, the planned celebrant was lovely when she met me to talk about Alan's life and she went above and beyond to draft the talk even from her sick bed!  Matthew stepped in at the last minute for the actual ceremony and was very professional and smoothed the way through the event very calmly and efficiently.
    Friends and relatives abroad and in Scotland who couldn't attend really appreciated the webcast so I'm really pleased that was offered. My only criticism of the webcast was that you couldn't hear Matthew during the address facing the coffin as the music drowned him out.
    Wonderful service, thank you everyone.

    Ed did a brilliant job explaining everything that needed to be done, and what would happen. They did research for us as we wanted to scatter ashes on another grave and helped us identify where that is. Great advice on flowers. The funeral itself went without a hitch. I couldn't have asked for better service.
