I submitted an enquiry via J G Fielder & Son's website looking for a custom scatter tube to be made, in doing so attaching a basic design of what I would like. Within 24hrs, I'd received not only a response, but Chris had taken my design and made this far superior, surpassing my expectations. Coupled with the above, my order was delivered within one week of the date of order, which for something custom is really outstanding. Thanks so much for making the process so easy, it really is appreciated.

I have had dealings with Fielders in a professional capacity over many years, so choosing them on this occasion was an easy decision. Jon Kirkman was respectful and obliging throughout, offering choice & guidance in order that we could have a tailor made package to meet our needs. Communication was excellent. We never felt there was any pressure to make hasty decisions, and his calm, gentle demeanour was so appropriate. I can’t thank the team enough for delivering our vision under Jon’s supervision as we said our final goodbyes. Thank you.

They were amazing from organising the funeral plan right through to the funeral itself. During my hardest time they were the best team I could ask for. With us every step of the way. Flexible and professional. Kind and caring. And very clear with all information. Many thanks from my family to Simon and his team.
