Le Roy Funeral Service is an independent family business established in 1950 by Mr Stanley Le Roy Priaulx, originally operating from various locations in Exeter. The company has been led by the Wreford family since Martin Wreford was appointed manager in 1968 and subsequently purchased the business in 1974. His sons Andrew and Nicholas Wreford continue to run the company today, supported by a dedicated team of staff.
The Alphington Road branch, located at 10 Alphington Road, St Thomas, Exeter, became the company's head office in 1986 following the growth of the business. The premises, which was formerly used as a Fire Station, Kings Potatoes, and Badcock Engineering, offers modern facilities for visiting clients, staff, and on-site car parking.
Le Roy Funeral Service prides itself on providing a friendly, courteous, and professional service, offering 24-hour personal care to families during their most difficult times. Their range of services includes a Traditional Funeral Service, a Simple Funeral Service, and a Direct Cremation option. The company is also actively involved in the local community, supporting various charities and organisations including Devon Air Ambulance, Hospiscare, Macmillan Cancer Support, and the Royal British Legion.
"Paul was extremely professional and efficient whilst remaining kind and caring."
— Zoe Tippett (about Paul)
"Matthew and the team at LeRoy were very considerate and professional in all aspects and their communication was excellent. I can wholeheartedly recommend them."
— Nigel Scaife (about Matthew)
"They are compassionate, understanding and highly professional. I don't know what else to say apart from to thank them for being there when we needed them."
— Caroline
"Everyone at LeRoy Funerals and especially Matthew Aldridge gave me the absolute best possible customer service and understanding when my Mum passed away. They were there every step of the way to help me at a clearly difficult time."
— Ian Bond (about Matthew Aldridge)
"They took wonderful care of him, and they took wonderful care of us. Nothing was too much trouble and the whole process once my husband was in their care was seamless and very professional, such that I had no worries at all about the funeral arrangements. Special thanks go to Leon Elliott for his very professional attitude, but also his ability to lighten the mood when required. Everything was dealt with in a highly organised manner and took all of the trauma out of it at what was an unexpected event for us."
— Mitch Carey (about Leon Elliott)
