I have used John Pearce for my father and recently my mother. The whole team have been very helpfully and understanding and nothing is too much trouble. When I needed to speak with them they were very quick to respond to me- I have also purchased  my own funeral with them so my own family have one thing less to worry about. Highly recommended 

Sheila Bailey 4th Nov 2023

Everything was handled very well and the service was a very special tribute for my Dad

Christine Dyos 2nd Nov 2023

Professional but empathetic. Helpful but not intrusive. Couldn’t fault the company at all. Caz was particularly helpful in all aspects of arranging my late aunt’s funeral. She went above and beyond and I’m so pleased I decided to use Pearce’s as it felt as though they really cared. Thank you Pearce Funeral Services.

    Although a service you dread needing John and his team have been amazing, we have felt so supported by them and John took care of us all the way through the process explaining what was happening and just ensuring we were ok. I would highly recommend them to anyone. Thanks again to John and the team for everything

    Absolutely brilliant, first time organising a funeral, the team made the process stress free from start to finish. They dealt with everything. Thank you 

  • 5 Karen Doyle 14th Sep 2023

    Pearce Funeral Services are  the most kind, caring and understanding team, who guide you through the trials and tribulation of loosing a loved one with grace and compassion. 

    Nothing is too much trouble for them and if something hasn’t been done before, it  doesn’t mean it can’t be done, they will find a way! 

    We were shown support and kindness from the moment Mum was picked up from my home and this continued through the month leading up to Mum’s burial. 

    Neil was always on hand to help at the Ermin Street branch, Dave and John were brilliant too! 

    I can’t recommend the team at Pearce enough. Incredible service. 
    Thank you ❤️

  • 5 Julie Kimber 13th Sep 2023

    I live in Australia so dealing with my father's death was particularly challenging. John and Caz were phenomenal, they bent over backwards to help me through everything step by step even phoning me in Australia!

    Amazing service from a caring, family-owned company.

    Excellent 

  • 5 Nikki Doyle 2nd Sep 2023

    We had amazing service from Pearce funeral directors from start to finish. Dave Neil, especially. My only concern was the first day trying to get hold of someone out of hours. There phone line wasn’t ringing and didn’t transfer to a mobile that you could leave a message on. Distressing to families after losing someone. Signal issues I was told with who was on call. Not helpful and think they will lose business from this if it had been anyone else. They just would’ve called somebody else to go out. We persisted with this because we had a funeral plan and wanted them to conduct the funeral for us. But I’m sure someone else would have just called another company. So please make sure you’re on call have signal where they live or use someone else for your on call duties. But like everything else they made us feel very welcome and looked after us as a family very well. I take my hat off to everything that they do. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • 5 Derek Hancock 2nd Aug 2023

    Support, Understanding, care and attention to detail cannot be faulted. Kaz was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, she was supportive, understanding and caring.

  • 5 David Moody 30th Jul 2023

    Caz and her team at Pearce Funeral Services were fantastic. Totally professional, sensitive, respectful and understanding during our sad time. 
    We never felt rushed and they were so helpful in explaining everything we needed to know. With their help and Raymond’s input it enabled us to give my mother a wonderful send off. The price quoted was very reasonable and everything was clear and itemised for our information.
    I would recommend their services to anyone looking for a professional and caring way to celebrate their loved ones life.
