Lucy was brilliant with us. She helped us with everything. Nothing was too much. Also recommended a great priest for our mum.

Michelle Macpherson 10th Feb 2024

I cannot thank Jon and the team enough for the love, support and compassion they have shown myself and my family during this difficult time. We were gently guided through the whole process by Jon, who whilst allowing us to make the decisions of how and what we wanted for the funeral, took care of all arrangements including the celebrant, flowers and even arranging a venue for the funeral tea. Thank you to you all, you are amazing.

Graham Keller 3rd Feb 2024

    From start to finish, Fielder and Son were amazing. They completely took the weight of organising Mum's funeral from our shoulders. They were kind, respectful and efficient.

Thank you.

    We would like to express our great thanks to Vic and his staff who dealt with the funeral of our Mother in a such a wonderful and dignified manner. They helped and guided me and my family with such dignity through what is always such a difficult time, always being on hand to assist and advise on any concerns we had. It really was, to us, a 5 star service.

    John T and all the support team at Fielders have just been absolutely wonderful from beginning to end. I can't thank them enough. They gave a real human touch to the whole experience, and were compassionate, detailed, patient and kind throughout. We got delayed at the gravesite while waiting for a guest, and they just stayed patient and respectful of the circumstances the whole time! My heart was full. I can't recommend Fielders highly enough. Very best to all of you going forward! LK 3/9/23
