Forsey and Son Independent Funeral Directors, based in Somerton, Somerset, is a family-run firm founded in 1946 by Wilfred Albert Forsey. Now in its fourth generation of family ownership, the business is led by Chairman Adrian Forsey and his son Samuel Forsey, and remains committed to providing a personal, professional, and sympathetic service with complete flexibility to meet the needs of every family they serve.
The firm offers a comprehensive range of funeral services, from unattended direct cremations and attended simple cremations, to fully bespoke funeral arrangements tailored to each family's wishes. They also offer pre-planning services, memorial masonry, and a bereavement support group called STEPS, led by their Bereavement and Outreach Lead. Their forward-thinking approach includes hybrid vehicles, willow coffins, and support for green burial sites.
Forsey and Son are proud members of both SAIF (The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors) and NAFD (The National Association of Funeral Directors), adhering to strict codes of practice and undergoing regular inspections. The firm is known for flexible payment terms, strong community ties, and a diverse, experienced team dedicated to delivering a high standard of care during one of life's most challenging moments.
"They handled my dear Mum's body and funeral with compassion and true professionalism, ensuring that everything ran smoothly on the day — making such a difficult time in my life a bearable experience."
— Cher Sinfield (about Debbie)
"They looked after Mum with dignity, and gave her the most wonderful care so she was able to have a wonderful church funeral. Myself and my Brother will be forever grateful to such a fabulous team of people."

"Glyn was empathetic and able to make changes or organise new requests at very short notice. Nothing was too much trouble. We totally trusted their recommendations. I think he recognised that we wanted an informal and a very personal goodbye; which was totally achieved."
— Bear (about Glyn)
"They were proactive in keeping us informed and even fetched a missing item from the hospital and ensured it was returned promptly. On the day, the utmost care and respect was shown towards Mum and the family and made a difficult day much easier."
