From Traditional to Woodland Funerals in Bridgwater, Somerset

We can provide all types of service and burial, including Green and Woodland burials, horse-drawn funerals, and military funerals. We can also arrange services in all religious denominations plus non-religious and humanist life celebrations as well. In addition, we offer low-cost funerals and can also provide Golden Charter pre-paid funeral plans. We can tailor funeral and burial services to your needs:


Traditional Funerals: These funerals consist of participating in a church service. A burial or cremation then follows it. We can arrange a minister, or Corrinne can perform a non-religious service. A non-religious funeral generally consists of tributes and poems rather than hymns and prayers. Families can request ceremony specifics depending on their preferences.


Horse-Drawn Funerals: Our horse-drawn funeral services provide families with a pair (two) or a team of horses (four). You can choose from black or white horses and either a silver, black, or white hearse.


Military Funerals: For those seeking to commemorate military service, we can coordinate military funerals with the utmost respect and recognition. We work with the Regimental Commander to ensure that your loved ones' funeral service goes to plan.


Woodland Funerals: These funerals provide a peaceful resting place in nature. Instead of a headstone, planting commemorative trees adds to nature while giving families a place to visit their loved ones.
