It’s something we all dread having to deal with but David and Nick, together with their Team, made sure Mum’s send off was dealt with much compassion and professionalism. Easy to speak to and very accommodating, David guided me through the process, whilst putting me at ease. I also wanted to use a local firm close to where Mum was brought up, married and laid to rest. Thoroughly recommend these Directors. Many thanks to you all.

Both Nick and David were superb throughout the entire proceedings. Mum couldn’t have asked for a better send off.

Would well recommend for hassle free funeral. Everything I wanted was included and other ideas came forward from Nick and David. Yours sincerely Maurice Richards

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.

    Thank you to David, Nick and their team for the compassionate and meaningful way they conducted Dad’s funeral.  Their professional service and caring manner was second to none.  Dad was a true proud Cornishman who will always be our hero and thanks to David for taking Dad on his final journey to Treverbyn in his tartan kilt.

  • 5 Martin Roseby 21st May 2021

  • 5 Ruth Sawyer 20th May 2021

    Couldn't have asked for a better service at such a difficult time.

  • 4 Ema Cavalier-Smith 20th May 2021

    My family and I are very pleased with and grateful for the care, understanding and attention provided by your service during this profoundly difficult time in our lives.

    I never felt rushed by David during the whole process of preparing for my late husband's funeral service and yet every aspect came together in a timely fashion for the crucial day.

    My only dissatisfaction was the permanent cross on the front panel of the lectern because my husband was a lifelong humanist and the cross therefore would doubtlessly have detracted from the non-religious service beautifully conducted by our humanist celebrant.

  • 5 Lyn Northcott 20th May 2021

    First class service 

  • 5 Shelley Truscott 20th May 2021

    Both Nick and David have been very professional throughout, what is an upsetting experience. They both made the process so much more bearable with their caring, empathetic and supportive nature. The personal approach they have shown throughout made us feel at ease in knowing our family member was getting the send off they deserved, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. 

  • 5 Neil Fernie 20th May 2021
