Hello Andrew
Thanks you for all your help and attention in arranging mother's funeral at Rochdale Crematorium yesterday.
Your input and the dignity of you and your team supported the respect for such an occasion.
The minister's outline of mother's life was appreciated as was his hymn singing.
The selection of music was very apt and along with O All The Saints would also have been heard and appreciated by Dorothy in her new home.
Finally I would have no hesitation in recommending the services you provided, and at a very reasonable cost.
Many thanks.
Tom Peel

outstanding and professional

Bereavement is the toughest thing and the last thing you need is to feel that the funeral is a problem rather than a solution. The thing that struck me was that too many funeral director's websites were vague on cost. Money is not the most important thing in this situation but it is not pleasant to feel that this vagueness was in place to exploit your grief. Too many websites gave no indication of fees ( disbursements ) and invited you in for a ' chat '. At this point, after half an hour, it becomes clear the bill will be between £3000 - £4000. Had this been stated on the website it would have saved you time.

It was the honest approach of pearson's that appealed to me. The costs were there on the internet in black and white. They offer just as good a service as anyone else for between £1200 to £2000 less. The information on the website puts you in control of the funeral. But it's not just the money we saved it is the feeling that we were putting our Mum to rest with the help of a company that was honest and down to earth.

Mum's funeral was a dignified and professional occasion; everything from the hearse , the staff from pearsons, the limousine, the flowers and, importantly, the respect and care shown to us and my mum.

Of course there is no ' review ' website for funeral directors, it would not be in good taste. if there were you would be reading more good recommendations than mine. I hope this helps you to make your choice.

outstanding service

From contacting Pearson's to the day we said goodbye to my brother we were treated with compassion, honesty and empathy.
We entrusted the care of Mark into their hands to be looked after until the day of his funeral and could not be more comfortable with the 'people' we had chosen.
They handled everything with integrity, were sensitive to our needs/feelings and met every one of our expectations at this sad time.
The weight they alleviated us from during this profoundly difficult period is greatly appreciated of my immediate family and I.
The day itself was impeccably carried out, organisation was made simple and we felt they cared for Mark just as much as they continued throughout the procession with the utmost of respect.
Finally we highly valued the catch up call we received to ask how we were all coming to terms.
We can't thank you enough for helping Mark to rest and we don't believe we could have tasked anyone better with the responsibility .

Kind Regards
The Austin Family
