One of Truro's longest established independent funeral directors, it also serves Perranporth, Goonhavern and communities across central Cornwall, with a 24 hour line. Burial options include church, graveside, woodland, natural and green burials, with natural burials at Penwith Woodland Burials and other sites. Direct cremations and pre-paid funerals are both offered. Viewing in the chapel of rest is by appointment during working hours.
