We arrange all kinds of services for families in Exmouth and beyond, whether that means a traditional religious funeral, a fully non-religious celebration of life, or something personal that blends the two. There is no requirement for a church, and we can help you find a setting and format that genuinely reflects the person who died. Our team will listen carefully to what matters to your family and guide you from there.
We are available to take your call at any time, day or night, and one of our team will talk you through everything calmly and without any pressure. We can arrange for your loved one to be brought into our care from Sidmouth, Budleigh, or wherever they died, and we will explain the paperwork that needs to be completed along the way. You do not need to have any decisions made before you contact us, just reaching out is enough to get started.
We work with Exeter and Devon Crematorium and East Devon Crematorium, and we will help you choose whichever feels right for your family. On the day, our team will coordinate the procession and ensure everything runs smoothly, from the moment we leave Budleigh through to the service itself. We will talk you through the timings and what to expect well in advance, so there are no surprises.
Yes, our team at Palmers covers Budleigh, Exmouth, Sidmouth, and the communities in between. We have been looking after families across this part of Devon since 2000, so we know the area well and can be with you wherever you are. If you are unsure whether we cover your location, please do give us a call and we will be happy to help.
There is a paid car park nearby on High Street in Budleigh, which families typically find convenient when visiting us for arrangement meetings or to spend time in our chapel of rest. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and the building is fully wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet available, so we can welcome everyone comfortably. If you have any specific access needs, please let us know ahead of your visit and we will make sure everything is ready for you.
