About Us

Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, London Road, understand the importance of saying goodbye to your loved ones with dignity, respect, and personalised care. As truly independent funeral directors, privately owned and serving all faiths and backgrounds, they are committed to providing a service that honours the unique lives of everyone they serve.

Established in 1999 by Jonathan Terry, who has been dedicated to the funeral profession since 1985, they have built a solid reputation for delivering personal and excellent service to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

Over the years, Jonathan Terry have continuously reinvested in their business to ensure that they offer the best possible support to their families. In 2008, in response to the growing demand from families on the eastern side of Southampton, they opened their London Road funeral home.

In 2013, they embarked on a journey of redesign and refurbishment of their Peartree Avenue premises, culminating in the completion of the project in 2014.
A significant milestone in their journey came in December 2018 when they acquired 103 Peartree Avenue and launched the White Lily Centre, a bereavement centre offering counselling services to all. The White Lily Centre stands as a symbol of their commitment to supporting families beyond the funeral itself.

In May 2022, their services were further enhanced with the introduction of a new fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, ensuring that every aspect of your loved one's final journey is conducted with the utmost care and professionalism.

Behind every successful business is a dedicated team, and at Jonathan Terry Independent Funeral Directors, there is a team of compassionate professionals who truly believe in the importance of their vocation. Their unwavering commitment to supporting families during your time of need is the cornerstone of their reputation for excellence.

As a truly independent business, they take pride in the reputation they have built, the dedication of their team, and the unparalleled service they offer to families throughout Southampton and beyond.

The London Road funeral home opened in 2008 and is located on College Place, opposite the Crown Courts of Southampton, and is under the direction of Mr. Matthew Haines MBIE. It offers a private chapel, and a forecourt is provided for parking with full disabled access. Their opening times are 9am-5pm Monday to Friday but they are available 24-hours a day by telephone.

  • 5 Maureen Anne Smith 19th Feb 2024

    Jonathan and his team were sensitive, kind and professional and very respectful of my deceased husband. From the time of our very first contact until the funeral, the family felt in very good hands. They listened, supported, helped and reassured in a wonderful way during this difficult time. They were always keen to respect our wishes but to make helpful suggestions. The funeral was made possible to endure because we had confidence in them. The staff in the London Road office were very helpful , kind and understanding. We felt very supported and comforted when we visited the chapel of rest. Jonathan is such a gentleman and gives a unique personal service. He felt like a friend when you need them most. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. 

  • 5 Karen Prout 3rd Feb 2024

    The most kind and caring Team, thank you all so much for your impeccable service and support. Sarah and Natalie a personal thank you to you both from our family such patience and understanding.

  • 5 Julie Williams 22nd Jan 2024

    John Terry showed us the greatest professionalism, sympathy and kindness when arranging the funeral of our beloved wife and mother. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

  • 5 Carolyn Williamson 19th Jan 2024

    Friendly staff and a professional service provided. Any request or questions were dealt with promptly which is what is needed at the loss of a loved one.

  • 5 Tony Coghe 16th Dec 2023

    This is our third funeral using the services of Jonathan Terry and we have found that the support , compassion and care was everything that we needed it to be. Sarah as always went above and beyond to guide us through this difficult time and Jonathan also Tom previously was a rock on the day. We would highly recommend them. 

  • 5 Wendy Picton 13th Nov 2023

    Anne at Jonathan Terry (London Road) helped us so much that it all seemed so easy to organise. I cannot thank them all enough for the respectful and efficient way we were taken through the whole thing, both beforehand and on the day itself. I would highly recommend this company as they made a very sad time into a seamless beautiful one.

  • 5 John Rickard 8th Nov 2023

    The Welcome in the Office was very genuine and phone calls were sensitively handled. The arrangements with Church and Authorities was most efficient and the car travel on the day was of the same high standard. The Brochures for Matthew,s services pleased the family and friends. The recommended Florist was excellent.

  • 3 Kirsty Gray 24th Oct 2023

    Wasn’t impressed the flowers couldn’t travel with my mum making the carriage look bare. No warning before hand regarding this might as not brought flowers. Made mum look unloved and cared for. Having a hearse just for flowers defeats the reason for having flowers!!! 

  • 5 Alice Watt 30th Aug 2023

    Thank you for looking after Stanley so beautifully & for going out of your way with helping with all the necessary arrangements - it lightened the load for me so much.  Your kindness & loving care was beyond compare 
    Thank you from the bottom of my heart xxxx

  • 5 Louise Doyle 4th Aug 2023

    We could not have wished for a more caring and professional service. From arranging my Sons funeral to arranging the lovely Celebrant Diane Bell, Jonathan and Sarah went above and beyond. Louise Doyle

  • 5 Cheryl Hunt 1st Jul 2023

    Tom was very kind, caring & professional. Nothing was too much trouble. His attention to detail was perfect & he listened to us & did everything we asked for. On the day of my Mum’s funeral everything went very smoothly & everything was done with great dignity. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan Terry. They certainly made a sad & stressful time so much easier.

  • 5 Julie Minchington 28th Jun 2023

    Thoughtful, sympathetic, helpful, caring, polite, and friendly. These are all words for the London Road Staff. Their presentation of our daughter was lovely and their attention to detail was beyond words. We could chat with them as if they were friends, not just a customer to make money out of. We would recommend them to anyone, well worth the money.

  • 5 Eileen Wright 16th May 2023

    We were really impressed with the professionalism from our first meeting and throughout the whole procedure. The organising, empathy and execution was faultless. Ourselves and all those who attended felt that it was an excellent service and made a very difficult time much more bearable.

    Thank you 

  • 5 Maria Smith 15th Mar 2023

  • 5 Wendy Lunn 7th Feb 2023

    Myself and my family will be forever grateful for the care and compassion of Tom, Sarah and the Jonathan Terry team at this most difficult time. From the first meeting with Tom, all of the arrangements of the funeral, the compilation of our tribute screen, their care of our mum and amazing communication and answers to our many questions, through to the beautiful service itself. We could not have asked for a better experience. You all do such an amazing job. Thank you so much.

  • 5 Linda Budden 28th Jan 2023

    The best funeral directors we have dealt with. From start to finish the service is excellent. They took good care of our mum 11 months ago and now our dad. I highly recommend them. Thank you for the best service we received.

  • 5 Nicola Langdown 24th Jan 2023

    Excellent service from Tom and Sarah at London Road.
    Very professional and caring from the very first meeting.
    Thank you for your support throughout. Would most definitely recommend Johnathan Terry.

  • 5 Linda Bolt 18th Jan 2023

    We cannot praise Tom and his team highly enough. Their empathetic approach, the  information given , their caring and calm approach to everything has only helped us get through what we can only say is the worst time of our lives. Tom has been there any hour and day without hesitation. Delivering an amazingly knowledgable and supportive service and advising us closely along the way. 
    From the onset Tom was great even up until the funeral day where he and his team just surpassed our every need so empathetically and without any great issue - such a calm nature and approach to everything. Even choosing the best celebrant to suit our dad and his ways. Even to this day the last few bits to sort and we are still welcomed and communicated to with greatest care.  The whole experience has been so devastating for us as a family but without this supportive rock it would have been so much more tricky. Our upmost thanks and heartfelt gratitude goes out to Tom and his team forever in our hearts at this sad time. Thank you  Lyn, Claire and Ali 

  • 5 John Collins 2nd Jan 2023

    Could not of asked for better service so understanding and not pushy on anything and you could take your time on all funeral plans on the day of the funeral they were so professional 

  • 5 Sarah Griffiths 14th Dec 2022

    I used Jonathan Terry last year when they looked after my mother's funeral so when it came to my husbands there was nobody that I even considered.
    They were kind, talked everything through, efficient, no hard selling and really looked after my husband and me and kept me updated with everything.
