Simon and his team were kind, attentive and caring. Dealing with Simon directly made a huge difference, and the personal element in how they run their business is noticeable. The attention to detail ensured that my dad was given a fitting memorial and made an extremely difficult time more bearable.

After losing losing a dear family member the stresses of finding a funeral director was quite difficult but once we made contact with Otter Valley Funeral Directors, the difference in customer service and costs compared to others in East Devon, they were definitely better by far. They explained the processes very clearly and were very patient both in dealing with family members who were already in distress and also patient with receiving their payments after the funeral. Thank you Simon and to your team.

Thank you Simon for everything you did today for my sisters funeral. At very emotional time you listened to what my daughter and I wanted - not a mainstream production line funeral service but one that was very much tailor made for us. At every stage you were there listening to me and interpreting my thoughts and wishes. You made today a very beautiful tribute and final send off for Julie .

Thank you to Simon and his team for assisting us and providing a dignified and respectful service my Aunt would have wanted. Otter Valley funerals provided a very person centred service that the larger directors in Budleigh are unable to deliver and I would highly recommend them to anyone especially the care homes. As a care home manager myself attending many funerals, Aunties final journey was most sensitively handled and Simon truly listened to her wishes and delivered what he promised.

Simon helped us through the stressful time of arranging Bernard’s funeral with kindness and compassion. He guided us through everything so smoothly,liaising with the florist and arranging for the orders of service to be printed.It was the personal touches from Simon and his team which took the stress out of a very traumatic time for me and the family,as we tried to come to terms with the great loss of a beloved husband and father.
