Yes, our team on Dartmouth Road supports families across a wide area, including Brixham, Preston, Marldon, Churston and Stoke Gabriel. We're locals ourselves, so we understand the communities we serve and will come to you wherever you are. Distance is never a barrier to the care we offer.
We have experience arranging funerals that honour a wide range of faiths and traditions, including Catholic, Muslim, Buddhist, Jehovah's Witness and Traveller Community funerals. For Catholic services, we work closely with Sacred Heart Roman Catholic Church in Paignton, and we also have strong relationships with Paignton Parish Church, Goodrington Methodist Church and St Mary's Church in Brixham. Whatever your faith or cultural background, we'll take the time to understand what matters most and make sure the funeral truly reflects your loved one's life.
We have on-site parking including a designated disabled space, and there is also a small forecourt opposite the funeral home as well as a large pay and display car park nearby on Dartmouth Road for families who arrive with more people. Our building is fully wheelchair accessible with a ground floor arrangement room and an accessible toilet, so nobody in your family should face any difficulty visiting us. If you have any specific access needs, please do let us know when you call and we'll make sure everything is ready for you.
We work with both Torquay Crematorium and Exeter Crematorium, and we'll help you choose whichever feels right for your family. On the day, our team will travel with your loved one and guide you through every moment, from the arrival at the crematorium to the committal itself. We'll make sure you know exactly what to expect so nothing feels unfamiliar or overwhelming.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and we'll arrange for your loved one to be brought into our care from wherever they have died, whether that's at home, in hospital or elsewhere in the Paignton and Brixham area. Once they are with us at our funeral home on Dartmouth Road, there is no rush - we'll gently talk you through the next steps when you feel ready. We'll also help you understand the paperwork and registrations required, so you don't have to work it out alone.
