The care and kindness I was given was outstanding. Belinda went above and beyond with the service she provided me from the first contact until the end of the funeral I felt Belinda was not only the funeral director but a shoulder of support to get me through. Many thanks

    As a family we would like to thank Belinda and all of the team at Pearce for all of their support during the hardest time of our lives. From the minute I walked into the Groundwell Rd branch, Belinda was so kind and caring and helped me navigate the whole process of arranging my stepdaughter’s funeral, I literally could not have got through these last few weeks without her. If you choose to use Pearce, just know you’ll be getting a personal service where nothing is too much trouble. Thank you again to all at Pearce.

  • 5 Claire Thomas 20th Apr 2021

    I wish to personally thank Pearce Funeral Directors, their team and caring staff who provided the most exceptional service for my auntie with the utmost quality and care, supporting me tremendously throughout. They truly are a wonderful organisation and independent establishment, who provided me with the highest level of support in the most compassionate way possible. Everything they coordinated was taken care of beautifully and all our requirements met in the most kindest way possible. I can honestly share that they were the very best organisation I could have possibly have asked for in the hardest of circumstances. The coordination of each and every single detail from the start to finish was managed perfectly in the smoothest way imaginable. Even with their calmest handling of a extremely delicate situation, they were so unbelievably kind and thoughtful. I send my special heartfelt thanks and utter gratitude to you all for everything that you did for me and my family to make our deeply sad time one that was uplifting, with complete professionalism. You over and above touched my heart. I genuinely can not thank you enough. You have been incredible. My vey best and sincerest regards, Claire

    Thankyou so very much for enabling us to give our dad such a lovely send off. You made sure everything was perfect for us and we couldn’t have been more happy with how it went.  I know my dad would have loved it.  
    Right from the start you were so caring and respectful, especially with the really sensitive issues around covid.  This made the saddest time of our lives more bearable and we are extremely grateful.
    Thankyou once again from all of us.
