"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 professional, caring people to care for their loved one."
— Katie Richards (about Mike)
"From the moment me and my family walked through the door, we knew that Peterson's was the company we would be using. They made a difficult time much more bearable and the planning simple and straightforward. The staff were also amazing and really did our late Mum proud."
— rachael a (about Michael)
"Mike is an amazing man definitely sent from the angels. Its not about money with Michael. The whole day was dedicated to nan — you're not just a number with this amazing funeral home."
— Danielle Hinsley (about Mike)
"These guys went above and beyond to allow the family to say their goodbyes and to give me the chance to say mine in my own way and allow me to do that one last thing for my partner. My partner was treated with the utmost respect, like he was one of their family members."
— carlton Fletcher (about Andrew)
"They cared for my mom and for the family with compassion. Always there when i needed to talk, went above and beyond to make my mom's final days perfect. They made my moms day so special and everything i ever wanted for my mom. i couldn't have found anyone better to care for my mom."
— Megan Taggart (about Mike)
"Just walking into the branch it feels like home, no desks, just warmth. 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."

From the moment me and my family walked through the door, we knew that Peterson’s was the company we would be using. Michael made us feel comfortable and welcome throughout the planning process, keeping in touch about all of our plans. They made a difficult time much more bearable and the planning simple and straightforward. The day of the funeral the staff were also amazing and really did our late Mum proud. We would like to say a big thank you for everything.

Looked after my Dad during covid and my Mom yesterday. I had a car and hearse for Dad and a white carriage with white horses for my Mom. Both times Micheal met me and ensured all my requests were met and both services were done respectfully and with the utmost professionalism. I fully recommend them as you great an amazing service for an affordable price for your loved ones .

Can't thank Mike and his team enough for caring for our nan the way he did our queen B. Also the care and support he gave me and my sister. Prices are affordable its not about money with Micheal. The whole day was dedicated to nan your not just a number with this amazing funeral home we had a horse drawn carriage for nans final journey and it was absolutely beautiful and that was all down to mike being so amazing. We wont ever forget. Highly recommend. We moved our nan from co op as we wasn't treated nice at all the best decision we ever made miving our nannie b here! Mike is an amazing man definitely sent from the angel ❤️❤️ thankyou Mike

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 💖
