Wallace Stuart, Somerset based Lady Funeral Directors

Wallace Stuart are award winning lady funeral directors and since 2010 our ethos has been to create meaningful and affordable funerals that families can be proud of.

We are passionate about the funeral industry and it shows in everything we do.

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.

Call us whenever you need us

“A woman’s understanding can make all the difference to the precious memories your family will have forever.”

We are based in North Petherton, Somerset and operate in all surrounding areas.

If you are unsure if we cover your area, do not worry just give us a call and we will always try to help.
