Would recommend and like to sincerely thank Jess and everyone at Allan Pearse for the kindness and respect shown to our family throughout their handling of my Mother's funeral. Jess carefully guided us through each step of the arrangements with patience and compassion and made an overwhelming process as clear and smooth as possible. This provided great comfort to our family during a very difficult time. We were very pleased that everything was delivered as organised on the day of Mum's funeral service.

From the initial contact with Allan Pearce Funerals, right through to the end of the funeral service, we had nothing but a positive experience.
Jess Lowe, who took over everything was amazing. Very caring and empathetic, listening to our wishes and offering guidance in a very professional manner. Nothing was too much trouble.
She introduced us to Kate Henville, the lovely celebrant, even arranging a meeting time with her.
The Order of Service was attended to without any fuss with help from Joniel.
The day of the service went smoothly. Once again, Jess was there to oversee everything and ensure any of our requests were met.
We were supported by the lovely Kate, who conducted a beautiful service, as if she had known mum and us, personally.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Allan Pearce Funerals to anyone in their time of grief.
Thank you.
