As the son of a local vicar I have always appreciated what it means to serve the needs of a community. I learnt from an early age of the total commitment and sympathy that is required when dealing with the needs of people. This led me to begin my career in the funeral profession in 1990.
Over the years I have gained extensive knowledge and experience, studying with the National Association of Funeral Directors and achieving the qualification of the Diploma of Funeral Directing in 1998.I also became a fully qualified member of the British Institute of Embalmers in 1997. I have gained a wealth of knowledge and experience over many years, so I am able to offer an excellent and professional service.

As a family business we understand how every funeral is personal and every family we serve must be treated as individuals. At every stage of our service, to you, we will listen and can respectfully guide and advise you. Our philosophy is that a funeral should be carried out exactly according to your wishes, and all our efforts are focused towards ensuring that every detail is correct and professionally provided with care.
We understand how difficult a time it can be to arrange the funeral of a loved one, as well as considering covering the costs. In recognition of this we will never ask for any type of deposit or 'upfront fees' before a funeral service takes place. We allow those using our services the time to arrange your finances, providing a detailed estimate of the funeral cost before the service takes place.
This is a comparatively new business (established in 2009) with an unusual, welcoming feature: the front door is always open. John Pearce Dip FD, Member of the British Institute of Embalmers, is the owner and funeral director here.
John is the son of a Church of England priest, a good upbringing for a funeral director for, as he says, "I have seen and appreciated firsthand what it means, and the commitment required to be a servant of the local community."This is what John is all about.

When it comes to the day of the funeral your personal conductor will guide you through every stage of the ceremony, whilst ensuring that we remain in the background during proceedings to give you the space and time that your family, friends and you will need on the day. The conductor will always be at hand, making sure that everything runs smoothly and your every wish is catered for before, during and after the service.

We cannot praise Pearce Funeral Services highly enough for providing such an excellent service within 2 weeks of first contact.
Belinda managed our planning throughout and was always compassionate, respectful, informative and helpful. Always at the end of a phone, nothing too much trouble and she understood the feelings of our whole family who all wanted this occasion to be the very best. Belinda provided sensitive ideas and appropriate detail to enhance the service. Uploading songs and photographs was very simple and many people have commented on how nice it was to have a personal Tribute page
