We knew we could change the face of funeral care. We saw a need for a gentler way of providing funeral care and a more affordable one We will help you to celebrate the life of the person you care about in a way that is right for you, and at a price you can afford. We do not over sell expensive coffins, flowers and packages – we listen to your family needs and wishes and never judge. From non-attended cremations to coffin-less cremations, we are here to help you carry out the final wishes of your loved one – whatever they may be. From the first telephone call, we will gently guide you through each step and work closely with you to fulfil your own ideas or provide our professional suggestions. Funerals need not be the dark, sombre occasions – they can be just as you want them to be. We want to help you create a funeral that reflects your loved one’s unique personality. We were the *first* all female owned and led Somerset funeral directors and have worked hard to build our wonderful reputation. Sarah and her daughter Caitlin are here for you, whenever you need them. All phone calls, funeral arrangements and most importantly the personal care for your loved ones – from washing and dressing to supporting the family on the day are handled by us – the female touch makes all of the difference to our families Our commitment to you and your family is at the heart of everything we do. Sarah and Lel started the business in 2010 – two friends, each with a different background but one single goal: to do funerals differently. We wanted to push some boundaries and boy did we do that – from coffin-less cremations to our local friendly drop in groups called “Coffee and Coffins”. We got people talking about death, we blew the lid on myths and old fashioned traditions and made people sit up and say “There is a different way” All personal care is carried out by us – from washing to dressing the deceased. Why is that so important? For woman, being dressed by a strange man can seem mortifying especially if they have had surgery or life changing operations. For men, the thought of their wives or partners or daughters being dressed by a man, when they may have never been seen by another man before, is horrifying. That is why we opened as all lady funeral directors – we are not feminists – we are just approaching an ever changing industry gently. We have a small team of male bearers who have been with us since we opened and we trust them to carry out our work with the same dignity and care that we do. It is incredibly important and comforting to our families. We usually conduct funerals wearing formal dress. A traditional top-hats and frock coats for both and we offer key marks of respect. For example, walking the hearse away from our funeral home or your family home. Alternatively, if you prefer that we wear more casual clothing, then we are more than happy to accommodate any request. Jeans and wellies are just as acceptable! We want to meet your current needs and build a relationship of trust. So that you will return to us in the future. We have a long-term commitment to our community. This is where we plan to stay. Treat us as family. We are always ready to help and will always be here when you need us.
