At such a distressing time in my life the organisation of my wife’s funeral needed to be efficient but without losing the warmth of an important family event.  This was achieved with the minimum of fuss and the arrangements were carried out professionally and accurately.  Many people have since commented on the high quality of the funeral service and especially the detail and warmth of the Celebrant.

We couldn’t fault the service we had from Fielders. They were patient, professional and guided us through any areas we were unsure of. We never felt rushed at any time and would certainly recommend them to any others who are suffering the loss of a loved one. They were excellent. Thank you

    From telephoning JG Fielder and Son to ask them to collect my deceased mum from her residential home until delivering her to the crematorium, the service received by this company was impeccable. Our needs were all looked after by Jon who was very professional and patient. He guided us throughout and did everything possible to make sure we were informed and understood everything that was going to happen. I cannot thank Fielders enough for the attention to detail provided which was so appreciated at such a stressful time. I highly recommend them.

    Lucy and all at Fielders have shown the utmost respect, compassion and understanding in the collection, caring and then the funeral of Dad. They were always communicative with any queries I had. They just enveloped me with what I can only describe as a protective, calming and again understanding warmth at such a sad time . I felt I could concentrate on other matters with a complete faith that they had everything in hand. Lucy and team you were amazing and I thank you, Janice

  • 5 Vida Townson 15th Jul 2024

    The thoughts of having to organise my late husband's funeral was daunting, I felt that I did not have the strength or ability to begin, what I thought to be a long emotional haul.

    All my fears were proved to be unfounded after my daughter contacted J & G Fielder.

    Jon Kirkman, took hold of the reins, allowing my daughter and I the space to deal with our loss.

    Jon, made the decision making, so easy, as he guided us through the format to be followed.

    He came to my home, talked to us, expertly and with empathy for the situation we were in. The way in which he talked to us, did not make me feel that I was having to make decisions. He is an expert in his craft of being a Funeral Director.

    The funeral itself was so much more relaxed thanks to Jon's influence and presence. Every aspect and stage of the funeral was conducted in a professional, efficient, respectful manner with utmost care and consideration shown to my daughter and I.

    I will be forever grateful to Jon and his team, who worked hard to make sure that all and everything that they did was for the benefit of all concerned.

    Thank you, to the team at J.G. Fielder, thank you especially, to Jon Kirkman, a very special caring man.
