Brilliant from start to finish. Couldn't recommend John & his team more highly. Although I don't want to see them again for a while !!!!!!

Neil McCallion 30th Jan 2017

John Pinder has provided me and my family with excellent service. He pre-empts your needs, takes care of everything and inspires confidence in the whole process. The funeral had the perfect balance of solemnity, gravitas and good humour. John and his company is simply a class act. Thank you for everything. Neil McCallion

Cath Basilio 16th Jan 2017

John was able to set the right tone for the whole process, was thoughtful in his communication, helpful and caring to both my Dad who'd died and to those of us left behind. The dignity he afforded Dad when he walked the hearse from the house a significant distance to the main road was not something that was discussed but was a real comfort. The normal world should slow down or stop and be respectful of this significant moment and the dignified procession was beautifully carried out. The flag for the coffin was a lovely touch. Thank you

    There are no words to describe how beautiful mums funeral was, we are so happy with the service we were given. John went above and beyond to accommodate everything for us and took alot of stress and pressure from myself and my father.
    Nothing was too much trouble. John is a lovely, warm hearted man too. Very kind, caring and genuine.

  • 5 Zoe Owen 18th Dec 2016

    Would definitely recommend W E Pinder, faultless. Helped make a difficult time a little bit easier by ensuring we had all the information needed to make the right decisions. 
    I especially liked the family feel the business had to it, made you feel that they had a bit more care and compassion for your loved one in the most difficult time.

  • 5 Julie Fuller 6th Dec 2016

    The service was excellent from first contact to interment  
    The support from John Pinder to my mother was impeccable ; professional  but yet personal.
    I would highly recommend their services. I would also like to say Thank you to all Johns staff who again were so professional in their duties.

  • 5 Lucy Cruddas 28th Nov 2016

    Outstanding, personable, compassionate, thoughtful, respectful, efficient are all words which describe the service myself and my family received from Pinders. At a time of grief everything was explained clearly, taken at my pace and absolutely nothing was too much trouble. From the moment she was taken from hospital until she was laid to rest I could not have wished for better service or care of my precious Mummy. The funeral was perfect, if that's possible, this was largely due to Pinders. I could not recommend this company more highly.

  • 5 David Hall 22nd Nov 2016

  • 5 Julie Honcharenko 18th Nov 2016

    I cannot recommend John Pinder enough. he recognises that he is dealing with next of kin & family at a most emotional and stressful time. He helped me to arrange my Mums funeral going above and beyond when some of the arrangements were complicated by timescales at the coroners court.
    Thank you so much for helping us through this awful time.

  • 5 Jacqueline Grimwood 24th Oct 2016

    W.E Pinder & Son Ltd have yet again been superb with the arrangements of my late Mother, Lilian Grimwood's Funeral on October 20th 2016.

    Having also arranged my Late Father's Funeral ten years previously, John Pinder helps to take the pressure off you, guiding you through the sadness, with a professional, yet sympathetic and compassionate handling of everything that needs to be done legally, and personally.

    Nothing is ever too much trouble for him,or his staff, who are always available to help
    with any last minute queries you may need answering at any given time.

    I have no hesitation in recommending W.E. Pinder and Son Ltd to anyone in need of making funeral arrangements, they will be handled with kindness, and compassion, and you will be in safe hands at a very vulnerable time.

    Thank You John Pinder, and all your staff.


    Yours Sincerely

    It would not be possible to praise this company too highly. Every detail and eventually was given consideration and 100% attention to in a caring and compassionate way.

    I cannot recommend John and his team highly enough. I initially envisaged organising the funeral from hundreds of miles away would be a logistical nightmare. However, John attended to my family's requirements with the utmost professionalism together with real care and compassion. The day itself was a true celebration of my father's life and it felt seamless because of his attention to detail.
