’The most important conversation you are avoiding…...
Join us at the Railway Club today at 1 p.m for a community conversation about all things dying, funerals and bereavement, all welcome, free tea and coffee

18/05/2026

Join us at the Railway Club on Thursday afternoon for open and honest conversations about death, including some of the realities that people don't always expect.
Talking more openly about death, whether that's wishes for a funeral, plans that are already in place or simply what matters most, can help reduce some of that pressure later on and it helps to talk to someone with local knowledge.

Please do not buy a funeral off the television!

This conversation explains Richard and Dorothee Tricker's Pure Cremation predicament following the sudden passing of Richard’s father Bill. They tell of not having the opportunity to say goodbye properly and how the language used took Bill’s dignity away. With research, it transpired that their local independent funeral director delivered a more dignified, caring and CHEAPER funeral than the online advertiser, leading to the Tricker’s cancellation of the online policy.

We cannot live in a world where a one family member cannot say goodbye to another!

Pictures do not do this justice ...

This is the very beautiful St Peter's Church, Dalwood.

The churchyard is maintained by 12 local residents who work in groups of 4 every 10 days!

Immaculately maintained, deserves another award in our opinion.

Thank you Brian and Julie for looking after us today.

Cara initially used an online cremation service when sadly, she lost her mum.

After a difficult experience, she consulted her local funeral director. Not only was she able to say goodbye her way, she found the care and compassion and professionalism needed at this difficult time right on her doorstep.

Watch her story here and if you ever need advice or support or just want to talk about your options and how a local family funeral director like Shoobridge's may be able to help you, simply call us or come and see us in Honiton, Exmouth or Exeter.

We are holding a 'community conversation' on 21st May in Exmouth, our first community Q&A. If you are able, why not join us and have your questions answered.

Every life is different, so every funeral, no matter how small, should be too ✨ Statistics show that 51% of people who chose an unattended service or a direct cremation were left with a lingering sense of regret.

We, Shoobridge Funeral Services can create a quiet, modest send-off that respects the life and legacy of your loved one, whilst giving you the peace of mind you deserve.

Call in to talk to us at one of our offices in Honiton, Exmouth or Exeter or join us very soon for our first community conversation about all aspects of death, dying and bereavement in Exmouth on 21st May.
