Excellent service throughout. Simon Aston was the kindest of men and nothing was too much trouble for him and the rest of the team.

Charlotte Rose 20th Dec 2024

Guided us from start to finish through the toughest time. We didn’t even know where to start but G J Fielders guided us with compassion and kindness. The service was done exactly how we wanted, and there was always two way communication, and no question was too much. Thank for the lovely service you put on for Alfred

  • 5 Tim Fox 7th Dec 2024

    From the night that my Mother passed to when she was buried we were impressed by the funeral Directors. The one that came to pick my Mum from the Care home that she died in at midnight, he explained everything to me and told me what I should do and was so compassionate. I phoned the York office the next day and I chose Jon to be our funeral Director and he organised everything, getting in touch to see if we were ok throughout the process, telling us what to do throughout the process and such a gentleman and again, so compassionate. We were delighted with everything that Fielders did for us, an absolute pleasure. Thank you to everyone at Fielders, our Mum would have been very impressed.

  • 5 John Hicks 18th Nov 2024

    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.

    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.
