Nothing was too much trouble. Took time out to visit me at my home as I could not drive. Very thorough, and reasonable rates. Service was excellent, everything went to plan and have been very supportive before and afterwards. Fabulous team, especially John Pearce. Considerate and kind, would recommend. Thanks

Many thanks to John and the staff at Pearce funeral directors

Jade Nicholson 13th Jun 2019

Given the circumstances, I couldn’t of  picked a better company. Pearce Funeral Services felt more of a personal company rather than commercial and they went above and beyond for me and my family with courtesy calls and emotional support right up until the end of the service. I personally felt like I had known Dave for a very long time and the support he gave me was incredible and all the little details never went unnoticed. Thank you for giving my dad the best possible send off he could have.

    From the arrangements, which my father in law and I sorted with Pearce Funeral Services prior to his passing, through to the day of the funeral itself, I have nothing but praise for Dave Bashford and the whole team from Pearce’s, who were always available to help, advise, and make sure the day ran as well as possible.

    Dave was a great support, managing Micks expectations sensitively about the arrangements, but managing to exceed our expectations on the day itself, with the planning to make sure our slightly unusual day went so very smoothly, and without a hitch. 

    Nothing was too much trouble for Dave, including coordinating between us, the local fire brigade, and the crematorium, and ensuring we had access to my father in law in the chapel of rest, and again Pearce’s coordinating all the relatives who wanted to visit him. 

    I can’t thank Dave and all the staff enough for all their help, support and advice which has helped us all through a very difficult time.

  • 5 Leigh Pierce 25th Feb 2019
