David was a perfect funeral director from the first contact and made sure every detail was covered. I would recommend Wedlake to any potential clients who want someone to go the extra mile. Prices are very transparent and are comparable and competitive to most other companies in St Austell.

About Us

Originally established in 1921 Wedlake Funeral Home (Nick Jago and David Michael Funeral Directors) is a funeral directors in St Austell, Cornwall. From their modern funeral home in St Austell, they offer funeral services to all of Cornwall.

In 1921 Fitzroy Wedlake set up his funeral business in Higher Bugle, St Austell. It was later taken over by Mr Wedlake’s Son Geoff, who in turn handed the business over to his sons, Alan and Roderick. Alan looked after the funeral side of the business but sadly died young so his younger brother Roderick took over the business.

Nick Jago and David Michael have now been entrusted looking after the funeral home and attending to the funeral needs of the local community. They are both highly experienced and fully embedded in the local community, having both grown up and worked in the local area.

In 1989 the Purpose-built Chapel of Rest was built, and in 2018 the funeral home was completely refurbished to meet the needs of a modern funeral home. The home is fully equipped with a comfortable family arranging room and a peaceful chapel of rest, where you and your family can visit your loved one and say your final goodbyes.

Each funeral will be unique and meet the wishes of you, your loved one and your family. Nick and David are keen that a dignified funeral c​an also be an affordable one. They can arrange any type of service, from a traditional religious ceremony, to a modern celebration of life.

  • 5 Mandy Semmonds 14th Sep 2023

    I couldn’t recommend Nick and David enough, from the first telephone call, to the initial meeting, to dropping my fathers ashes off the day after the funeral. Nick and David were perfect, so caring and genuine with humour when appropriate. They were so respectful of our wishes, advising when asked but letting us make all our own decisions. 
    They made the hardest period of our lives a little easier and everything went perfectly. 
    Thank you so much Nick and David, you’ll never understand how much your service has meant to me and my family. 

  • 5 Elaine Harrington 26th Aug 2023

    A huge thank you to Nick and David for ensuring my fathers funeral was perfect, 3 years ago my mother passed away in the Covid period and Nick and David also gave us the same respectful and professional service. I cannot thank them enough for helping us through these very sad occasions. 

  • 5 Yvette Cracknell 23rd Aug 2023

    Both Nick and David were very efficient and professional whilst arranging the funeral of my late mother-in-law. Their handling of the funeral arrangements allowed ‘the day’ to pass smoothly.

    In particular, David’s reading of the eulogy and the Service was extremely appropriate to the occasion. Nick kept us totally informed at every stage leading up to the funeral.

    I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Pete.

    I just wanted to thank you Nick and David for arranging and carrying out Mums funeral yesterday. You have done both Dads and now mums and I can honestly say you took all of the stress and worry away from us at such an unbearable time (especially as Dad’s was during strict COVID restrictions) 
    A highly professional service carried out with respect, care and compassion for our parents final journey. We can’t thank you enough

    It was wonderful we could not have asked for anything better. Thank you

  • 5 Jo Page 29th Jun 2023

    Would recommend Wedlake funeral directors to anyone wanting their loved one treated with the upmost dignity and respect. Stan was looked after perfectly from the moment he was collected from Treliske and taken to Wedlakes chapel of rest where he stayed for over a month. Both Nick and David are lovey, kind compassionate people and nothing was too much trouble for them, they were there to talk to and help in anyway they could. We  were allowed to go and sit with Stan whenever we wanted and were given as much time as we needed to sit with him privately and he looked so peaceful and at rest. The funeral was conducted perfectly and compassionately and everything went like clockwork from start to finish. They made the hardest day of my life bearable and I thank them both from the bottom of my heart. 
    Many thanks Jo Page

    We could not have coped without the incredible support from both Nick and from David from the dreadful evening that we lost our wonderful father through to the very sad day that we laid him to rest.

    Myself and my family cannot thank them enough xxx

  • 5 Paula Viera 26th May 2023

    The hardest goodbye i ever had to deal with, i was lost i didn't know what to do and where to go all i wanted was to give Ian a decent goodbye.
    I am forever grateful for your guidance and support in helping me achieve this. Thank you.

  • 5 Gill Cirullo 25th May 2023

    We had no hesitation in choosing Wedlake Funeral Homes as we'd attended several sad occasions where they officiated. It was also Aaron's choice for the self same reason. It's only when it becomes much more personal you appreciate how professional, efficient, understanding, caring and empathetic both Nick & David are. They were on call whenever we had any sort of query, were genuine in their responses and made sure absolutely everything was as we all wished. The inclusion of Matthew, Lacy, Tia and Sonny were really appreciated. The added touches of the Star Wars Themed Order of Service and the framed photograph of Aaron, one not only for us but Matthew & Family giving that little bit extra, taking that extra step - truly unforgettable..

  • 5 David Bicknell 25th May 2023

    Very professional and efficient service, although at the same time very personal, understanding and caring. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble during what is of necessity a difficult time. I would have no hesitation in highly recommending Wedlake Funeral Services to anyone.
