What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

C Terry Funeral Services is described by families as a funeral director that lifts the weight of organisation from their shoulders. Care shown from the first meeting through to the day itself runs through many accounts, with arrangements explained plainly and upsetting discussions made easier to face. Jane and George are named frequently for their patience, warmth and reassuring manner, both during planning and when ashes were later collected. An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the respectful handling of the person who had died, alongside the drivers' willingness to follow a family's chosen theme.

Reviewers mention the value of honest guidance, including the celebrant suggested for one service, whose words captured the individual being remembered. One family recalls a dignified departure in the early hours, and another notes that assistance did not stop once the funeral had taken place. Distance proved no obstacle for relatives living away, with coordination handled so that nothing felt rushed or uncertain. The professionalism woven through every stage left families able to focus on saying goodbye and on the memories they hold.

We’ve used terrys for years , they’ve done my son my grandma my dad and recently my mum. When I went in to arrange my mum’s funeral I sat with Jane for over an hour. No trying to get me to pay out for unnecessary things just a simple send off was all my mum wanted and that’s what she got. Honestly Jane and I had a good natter it was like talking to an old friend I would highly recommend terrys but hopefully we don’t need them again too soon!

C Terry organised my wife Gill's funeral this week. I cannot thank them enough for their care, compassion and efficiency in helping me and my daughter Katie during this difficult time. Thank you to all the team at Terry's and especially George and Jacqi for your kindness and support throughout. It was certainly a funeral to be remembered by all who attended to say goodbye to Gill and show their love and care and go away with happy memories of her.

A very sad time was made so much easier by the friendly and professionsl service, the whole process was made stress free and we felt like nothing was too much trouble , the whole team are so helpful and professional and leave you with no concerns about your loved ones being treated with respect and dignity , from start to finish we were totally at ease with the whole process and the extra steps taken by the drivers to follow the Irish theme we'd chosen by co ordinating orange and green was very touching, we could not praise the company enough they were amazing.

Couldn't recommend C Terry Funeral services enough. They have made the whole process of arranging my grandpa's (Roy) funeral very smooth. All the staff and I mean ALL the staff are lovely, they go above and beyond for you and your wishes. Jacqui and Jane are absolutely brilliant and they felt more like friends then staff during the process. The funeral service for my grandpa was beautiful and the staff who attended made it possible and was so respectful of my grandpa. The whole team made the saddest time feel less stressful and honestly felt like they was always there for us. Myself, my mama and uncle cannot thank you enough. Thank you to everyone at C Terry's ❤️
