Clifford's Family Funeral Directors Limited is a truly independent, family-run business based at 450 Crownhill Road, Plymouth, Devon. Established in 2020 and named in loving memory of their father and grandfather Clifford, the company has been dedicated to supporting the local community with an honest, caring, and sincere approach to funeral care. Their services are shaped by the principle of how they would want their own loved ones to be treated, including the thoughtful practice of having ladies cared for by female staff and gents by male staff since the very beginning.
The team holds qualifications with the British Institute of Funeral Directors, reflecting their commitment to the highest professional standards. Their funeral home features a dedicated arranging room, the Edward Suite for family visits, on-site car parking, and disabled access throughout the ground floor. Arrangements can also be made in the comfort of a family's own home upon request.
Clifford's offers a comprehensive range of services including traditional, contemporary, bespoke, and green funerals, as well as direct cremation and funeral plans. Their silver Ford fleet includes a hearse and limousine, with additional options such as horse-drawn carriages and motorbike hearses available. They serve Plymouth and the wider Devon and Cornwall areas.
"Everyone who saw the service from around the world — NZ, SA, Romania, north and south of Ireland and around the UK — commented that it was the best service they have ever seen, or been to. You could not have done any more to make the whole process as painless as possible."
— David Yeo
"I in my heart knew The Clifford family were looking after my mum which gave me great comfort. The respect and care for our mum and us as a family was remarkable. Nothing was too much trouble, their attention to detail and support was comforting, they certainly put the family first."
— Wendy Burrows (about Fern, Zac, Sam)
"Their support for me personally carrying mum was massively reassuring and it was warming throughout with how much you showed you cared for mum. Cliffords made us feel very comfortable from the first conversation and continued all the way through to dropping us off at the wake."
— Dave Tucker (about Fern, Sam, Zach, Anya, Mark)
"It has been an honor to us to know my nan stayed in a building full of compassion and respect. They make you feel like you are their only customer and go above and beyond with everything. From start to finish and beyond you were outstanding."
— Gordon Thomson (about Fern, Zach)
"From the very first phone call we were greeted and treated like family. Nothing is too much for them and kept us in the loop with everything that was happening with our loved one. Even checking in and keeping an open door after the funeral. Dad/Kevin was treated with the upmost respect and dignity at all times. If we could have given more stars then we would have."
— Michelle Mackney (about Matt, Sarah, Fern, Zach, Sam, Mark, Anya)
"The hardest thing we had to do was to organise our son's funeral. Zach and Matt personally wrapped our son's casket, as we wanted a certain design that you couldn't buy. They went above and beyond. We always felt supported by the whole family and would recommend them in someone else's difficult time."
— P&S Nye (about Zach, Matt, Sam)
