Honestly can not put into words how amazing Peterson funeral service is! But I’ll try! I’ll start positive by saying WOW, Michael and his family made sure our nan had nothing but respect and dignity. We arranged a viewing and it was beautiful, as much as these things can be. Just walking into the branch it feels like home, no desks, just warmth. From the moment we stepped into the door, we knew it was the best decision to move Nannie B here. Mike welcomed us warmly into his family, and our Nannie B. Mike doesn’t care about talking about cost, he cares about your family and your loved one, getting to know you and your loved ones stories. There’s no rushing. Nothing is too big or too small when it comes to what you want for your loved ones final journey. We will forever be greatful for a beautiful final journey with beautiful horse drawn carriage. We would not of had all the beautiful things such as forever hearts, laughs and tears with any other service.We first chose a certain “chain” as we had never organised a funeral so we called c””p, this was the worse decision we ever made. In just 48 hours of being there we were lied to, the people who came to take our Nannie B didn’t even speak to us, they might aswel of thrown her into the private ambulance and then just drove away with nothing, not telling us where she was going. They are rude and disrespectful! They don’t care about your loved one just the pay check. Please go to Peterson funeral service for a beautiful, dignified and respectful final journey for your loved ones.Again Mike, we will never be able to thank you enough 💖ever 💖 thankyou for giving our Queen B the dignity she truely deserved 💖

I would like to thank Peterson funeral services, even though we had a simple none attendance cremation for my amazing wife. Mike at Petersons was wonderful to talk to and understanding. Made this painful process a lot less painful. I would recommend Peterson funeral services to anyone who wants a professional caring people to care for their loved one.

Many thanks to Michael and the team for organising Mum's funeral in July '23. Nothing was too much trouble and during what is always a difficult time, we felt very comfortable and assured that they provide the very best service and fantastic value for money. The price included the coffin, flowers and the excellent Celebrant, Martyn Jinks.Martyn was warm, friendly, humorous and many of the congregation said they felt as though he knew us all. Thank you, I very much recommend Petersons a qualified, independent, family business!
