Shelagh Clark 8th Oct 2018

All staff at John Pearce Funeral Service could not have done more to make what is a very stressful time perfectly carried out. Dave Bashford went out of his way to make sure that I had all the information I needed and dealt with the changes in a professional and understanding way. The service from the time my husband arrived at our house to make our way to the church was perfect. I could not have asked for better. I would have no hesitation in recommending John Pearce for their superb service. Shelagh Clark

    This is the second time we have used John Pearce Funeral Services.  Their service was excellent the first time and so we had no hesitation in turning to them again.  They were professional, sensitive, understanding and worked with us to ensure that our requirements were met.  It was such a blessing to know that our loved ones were in such capable hands.  We have no hesitation in recommending their services.  Our thanks go to the team for all that they have done for us.

    I thought Pearce funeral directors were very kind, considerate and professional. They dealt with a traffic issue that resulted in a delay in bringing Maria to the Crematorium. Fortunately there was no-one booked in after us so. So I felt we were not rushed.

  • 5 Luke Venn 29th May 2018

    Went to several other funeral directors in Swindon. None gave such heartfelt care or attention to detail as Pearce Funeral Services.

    Having gone through the whole process now, I can confirm that no request is too small, or detail too fine. I could not recommend them highly enough!

  • 5 Emma Dean 15th May 2018

    John and Dave couldn’t be faulted. 
    The company as a whole is wonderful, they’re supportive, allow you space when you need it and explain everything to the fullest. 
     We wouldn’t of wanted our daughter to of been looked after at this horrible time by anyone else. 
    The funeral was breathtakingly perfect, everything was as we wanted and more. 
    We can’t thank you enough for everything! 

  • 5 Jason Marrinan 10th May 2018

    John and his team provided an impeccable and compassionate service at such a difficult time for our family. 

    They dealt with every single aspect from start to finish, and with complete care and respect. Nothing was ever any trouble. We are so grateful to them for all of their support and assistance. They were efficient, yet patient and maintained professionalism with sensitivity at all times. 

    So many friends and family passed comments as to how amazing they were, and we couldn’t agree more! 

    We truly cannot thank or recommend Pearce’s Funeral Director’s enough for their supportive, sensitive and professional approach.
