You could not find a better Funeral director than Jonathan Terry. From start of the process to funeral itself his dedicated and caring team helped us. From the lady at reception the lady in the office everyone was so caring towards our needs they go up and beyond just helping us through this very difficult time. On the day of funeral we were told each step what will be happening, the team was excellent. They even turned up with umbrellas as it was raining, the professionalism put us at ease Margret who carried out the service provide that extra bit of support when talking about my Aunt Kath, and my dads sister Kath. Once the funeral was over, Jonathan Terry involvement does not stop their, they host coffee morning for support they assist you in finding the right amount of help for the empty feeling now Aunt Kath has gone to her final resting place. At Christmas we have the church service and placing a star on the Christmas tree. Thank you for supporting us through this very difficult time. Pete & John (dad)

    Amazing service from start to finish. This was a complicated situation and there were a lot of delays in setting a date for Mum's funeral. Everyone I had contact with was so professional but showed great empathy. The day itself whilst very sad, could not have gone better due to the professionalism of Jonathan Terry and his staff.

    At such a sad time for our family Jonathan Terry were respectful at all times, they answered any questions we had, on the day of the funeral everything was easy for us because of Tom and the other members of Jonathan Terry. They made it go so smoothly and meant we didn't have to worry about anything at all. Would definitely recommend to anyone in need of their services.

    I am so grateful that a friend recommended Jonathan Terry to me. At such a sad and difficult time, it was so comforting to have been in such safe hands. From my initial appointment up until the day of my husbands funeral, they were absolutely incredible …. their guidance, understanding, kindness and professionalism really relieved a lot of my stress, as they were so helpful and attentive when ensuring every little detail for the day was taken care of.  Jonathan is such a lovely and genuinely empathetic man and Trish was truly wonderful too, as was the celebrant Matthew that they recommended. Thank you for making the day as special and bearable as it could have been given the circumstances.

  • 5 Edward Smith 18th Sep 2023

    Where do I start? Well, from the initial funeral plan arrangements months before my father's death to the input and details along with the unmeasurable help dealing with the extras on my dad's passing, I can't thank them enough. My father's funeral had to cater for just over 400 people. Jonathon Terry and his team carried it off without a hitch, amazing. The phone calls, messages and conversations I've had since the funeral have been full of praise for them and well justified too I'd say.
    Jonathon Terry and his team there including Trish, Tracey and Marika made a very difficult and emotional time as easy for my family and I as they possibly could. I will always be grateful for that.
