Whether you are arranging a traditional funeral, a simple cremation or a direct cremation, we will guide you gently through each step with care, clarity and respect.
We are passionate about the funeral industry and it shows in everything we do.

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.
