Chris Teeling 2nd May 2018

Following the death of my mother I had no idea what needed to be undertaken in the process leading up to, during and after her cremation. Chris Fielder came out and undertook the entire process in a professional and supportive manner. He dealt with all the little challenges with care and understanding, matched us up with the perfect celebrant for our family situation, and provided excellent support throughout. I will recommend J G Fielder as the perfect provider of funeral service and support.
