  • 5 Peter Lowther 4th Jul 2023

    Having had time to collect my thoughts after my Mums sad passing I would just like to write a few lines on the services of J G Fielder and Mr John Tattersall in particular, who went above and way beyond what I’d normally expect.
    At all times John was a consummate professional in whatever he did, but more importantly, to my family & myself, he provided a beautifully kind and compassionate understanding of absolutely everything. He guided me through a dark time and provided a light at the end of the tunnel, he advised me on every step  of my Mums funeral and I am eternally grateful to both John and the team at Fielders for giving my Mum a truly memorable send off.

    Our family was pleased with the service given by J G Fielder & Son. Not only was it highly professional, it was also compassionate and heartfelt. We are deeply grateful to Lucy Horsman, who made a sad occasion one we could cherish in the months and years to come. Very well done, indeed.

  • 4 Polly Brincklow 8th May 2023

    I wish the celebrant had directed the mourners on entering and leaving the crematorium. The immediate family was supposed to be following the coffin in and Polly was supposed to place a rose on the coffin before leading everyone out but unfortunately neither of these requests were organised which ended up in confusion

    Lucy looked after us every step of the way, excellent service from Fielders.

    We were extremely well cared for by all those we met at Fielders, including the lady on reception.
    We were given all the information we needed & never felt rushed to make a decision until we were ready.
    Everything was well organised & the day itself went as we would have wished.
    Thank you for all you did to help us through a difficult time.
