Our Services
When someone dies, it’s our job to step in and take care of all the arrangements. This whole process starts with us sitting with you as a family and discussing what you want. We listen and provide comfort, we care, support and enable you to say farewell in your own way giving you peace of mind that you could not have done better.
In some cases the person that’s died has left arrangements in place, which means that our job is to see through and deliver what they wanted. However in most cases these arrangements are left to the family or even the executor and this is where we can take the pressure off you.
Once you’ve officially registered the death we can handle everything. We start by making sure that your loved one is completely cared for in advance of the funeral itself.
Funeral arrangements can be onerous, but it’s our job to take that stress and strain off you as a family, especially as it can be a very difficult and emotional time.

Green burials
There’s been an increased demand for Green Burials in recent years and we’re pleased to say that we’re able to offer a full service in line with these expectations.
We offer a full range of coffins made from alternative materials including woven willow, bamboo, seagrass or cane or even coffins made from cardboard or wool, all of which have a much lower environmental impact.
We’ve worked with Anthony and Ele who run Pentiddy Woods natural burial grounds in Pensilva. This wonderful space has a stunning view of the Caradon area and is a special place to create a bespoke and even alternative send off for your loved one.
