A Proud Family Tradition

Meet the Terry Family Behind C. Terry Funeral Services

At C. Terry Funeral Services, family means everything. Based in Bulwell, Nottingham, the business has supported local families through some of life’s most difficult moments for over 125 years. Founded in 1897 by Charlie Terry, the company has been passed down through five generations of the Terry family — a legacy built on compassion, trust, and an unwavering commitment to the local community.

Today, C. Terry Funeral Services remains proudly independent and family-run. Michael Terry continues the tradition set by his great-great-grandfather, working alongside his wife, Kim and their children, Gemma and George. Together, they bring a personal touch to everything they do, ensuring every family receives the care, dignity and attention they deserve.

The presence of multiple generations within the business is more than symbolic — it means families who come to C. Terry Funeral Services are looked after by people who understand the importance of continuity, empathy, and community values. Many local residents have known the Terrys for decades, with long-standing relationships built on respect and reliability.

In a world where many funeral services have become corporate or impersonal, C. Terry stands apart. The warmth, stability and experience of a true family business is felt in every conversation, every arrangement, and every service delivered.

Whether you’re seeking advice for a funeral plan, need support during a bereavement, or simply want to talk to someone who understands — the Terry family are here for you, just as they have been for generations.
