Andrea was very kind and helpful with mums funeral and helped with further enquiries we had. Mum had a direct cremation but myself and her grandchildren wanted to follow and she stopped en route to check that we were all able to follow. Total kindness in such a difficult time. Thank you

Losing a loved one is one of the hardest things in life, grief is something you can’t control, everything seems a blurr and you can’t think straight. Carlyon Funeral Directors were absolutely fantastic and Andrea is great at her job. Andrea is very understanding and looks after your loved ones , as if they were her own loved ones which is so comforting. The service they provide is excellent, you don’t have to worry about anything, they listen and fulfil every wish at a very high standard, it’s perfection, it’s all the personal touches she does that makes it all special . Thank you Andrea , these were special memories I will cherish .

Carlyon are a local family run funeral directors who made a very difficult time a lot easier. I was left in no doubt that Mum was in kind and caring hands. Beautiful setting light,bright and uplifting in what was a sombre time for us. They listened to the wishes that my Mum had left and helped make them happen. We would certainly recommend them if you want the personal touch. Thank you so much. Phil D

    I cannot fault the service we received from Carlyon Funeral Directors. They were so helpful  and supportive, were always available to answer any questions we had and were thoroughly professional.

    I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea and her team .

  • 5 Caroline Knight 19th Jul 2023

    From first contact up until we received mums ashes back , Carlyon Funeral Directors gave an absolute first class service. Nothing was too much trouble. Andrea and her team gave mum exactly the send off we wanted with amazing dignity and care. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. A small company with a huge heart. 

  • 5 Angela Kalber 22nd Jun 2023

    From the moment I called Carlyon funeral directors I felt reassured. My grandfather had passed away in Kent & Carlyons collected him & brought him home to Cornwall & into their care at a very reasonable price, which was peace of mind in itself. The compassion, diplomacy, & gentle understanding shown by Carlyons throughout the funeral planning was absolutely excellent in what was somewhat a challenging situation due to unusual family circumstances. Nothing was too much trouble & I was kept informed every step of the way. My grandfathers wishes were met & was laid to rest with dignity, where he wanted to be. I highly recommend using this company as their care & service is outstanding.

  • 5 Deborah Kingsley-Tubbs 20th Jun 2023

    I have nothing but the highest praise for Carlyon Funeral Directors. Andrea is wonderful; kind, compassionate and empathic. Nothing was too much trouble for her and her team and everyone I dealt with was caring and respectful. Couldn't ask for more.

  • 5 Diana Ward 17th May 2023

    The care and service we had was kind, considerate and professional at all stages. Communication was excellent and Andrea worked hard to make all our requests and wishes able  be fulfilled. Thank you Andrea and David.

  • 5 Jane Thould 17th May 2023

    After our experience earlier this year, I recommend Carlyon’s wholeheartedly. When my father died, Andrea first arranged for his transfer from Dorchester , by herself and her husband. She then guided our family through the sensitive process of organising his funeral, taking great care to produce an order of service that reflected his wishes and ours. Her attention to detail, the ease of communication, her compassion and kindness did not waver at such a difficult time for the family. She liaised with those of the family who wanted to contribute in their own ways, and in the end we all felt that he had been given a truly appropriate send-off. A huge thank you to Andrea and her wonderful team.

  • 5 Amanda Rhind 6th Jan 2023

    I couldn't have wished for anything more perfect. Andrea, with her team were absolutely wonderful, so helpful and kind.
    Andrea smoothed the way to make a difficult time much easier. Andrea and her team are the best.

  • 5 Barbara, Rob & Barrie Marsden 30th Oct 2022

    When my Dad passed away towards the end of May, we called Andrea at Carlyon to take care of things for us. We simply couldn’t have made a better choice. 
    Every step of the way, Andrea and her team were thoughtful, respectful, warm and kind in all their actions and suggestions. 
    Andrea quickly tuned in to our emotional state and set about making things as easy to deal with as possible, and allowing us to make Dad’s funeral exact to our wishes. The icing on the cake was allowing us to choose the route for Dad’s final journey, taking in the beautiful beaches and coastline that he loved to be near. 
    Andrea and her team took care of Dad in such a way that we felt he was truly being looked after, which was hugely comforting. 
    Thank you so much.

    Andrea and her husband made the whole process of planning my father's funeral painless. They are very friendly and put us at ease all the way through. They also use put us in contact with a very nice Celebrant "Becky" who managed to bring my father to life during the service. My family and myself would definitely use them again xx

    Thank you Sarah for your lovely review and taking the time to write it.

    We are so pleased you are happy with the service we provided.

    You've been wonderful to your Auntie Cynthia, you were a great help supporting her to make the decisons that she needed to make.

    Your speech on Brian's life was lovely and memorable.

    I'm only a phone call away if ever you need anything.
