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.

    Always our 1st choice, Jonathan Terry are faultless. From initial contact to the day itself, everything is handled with quiet dignity and professionalism. Little touches which mean so much, like the walk in front of the hearse and highly trained pall bearers... it was the dignified send off we would have wanted for my mum. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Nick Bellamy 29th Jul 2024

    The care and support from your team has been immeasurable for our family whilst our loved one was in your care.

  • 5 Julie Clark 23rd Jul 2024

    When you are faced with having to think about the services of a funeral director and you are unsure what to do, how to go about it, and all the other questions in your head at a time you least need that, do not hesitate to contact Jonathan Terry and his amazing staff. I have been on a journey since my parent past away, and Jonathan and his team joined me on that journey and together I was able to look after my parent's affairs and they looked after me, as well as my parent. They all go above and beyond and they supported me and the family through a difficult time. We will always be very grateful to them all at such a sensitive time in our life.

    Johnathan Terry, what a true professional. From the moment we met with him, he showed nothing but empathy and care. He was always making sure we were ok and even the day before contacted us with the final arrangements. He showed us nothing but respect and liaised with the Ambulance Service to ensure our service funeral for our son honoured him in the way he deserved.

  • 5 Caroline Yonge 7th Jul 2024

    Jonathan Terrys team enabled us to navigate my mother’s funeral, with minimal stress and much help advice and support. We visited my mother twice whilst in their care. She was treated with utmost respect. All our wishes were carried out, even a named seating plan. Victoria was kind, patient and understanding and was so lovely that she drove us as a family too. Trisha was very helpful with the order of service and produced a beautiful one for us to keep and look back on. The service was conducted  by Margaret Hoadley , who was reassuring and the service was relaxed and personal. We couldn’t have had a better send off for my mother. Many thanks.

    A very professional and helpful team. Everything went according to plan and I would like to give thanks, especially to Victoria. Would recommend your services one hundred per cent.

  • 5 Jessica Medus 4th Jun 2024

    I cannot rate Jonathan Terry more highly. They made an awful time in our lives so much more bearable and gave our loved one a truly special send-off. We felt completely looked after from start to finish, due to their empathy, professionalism and patience. In particular, I want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Victoria, Trish and Tracey. We obviously wish (more than anything) that we hadn't had to organise a funeral at all, but since we did, it was perfect. We've had so many compliments about how well the service went.

  • 5 Dorcus Walker 4th Jun 2024
