Torbay and District Funeral Service

My dad died suddenly 6 weeks ago now, it has been that most hardest time I’ve ever had to face in my life! I had no idea where to start with any of it. I was also apprehensive of who to entrust with all the arrangements that had to be made. I searched up Torbay & District Funeral service and was throughly impressed with such outstanding reviews, so I booked an appointment to find out more about their services. I met with a lovely, amazing lady called Emma Bastow and immediately felt instantly welcomed with such warmth and grace! She made me feel seen and heard and guided me through every step of the way with such compassion and kindness. Emma went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly and my dad was laid to rest with the dignity he deserved. I met with other colleagues along the way who also instantly made me feel like family. I can’t recommend them enough, your loved one will surely be in safe hands! Thank you so much for everything you have done for me and my family.

We have dealt directly with the Torbay and District Funeral service on two occasions. They were just so caring and easy to deal with. The first was just over 2 years ago and in the last few months, our second. The main point with any funeral service is that at a time when all the family want to do is mourn, that unfortunately someone need to organise the funeral and having a company that you know you can trust with your loved one is just so very important and takes some weight off your shoulders. The costings were also very clear and easy to follow through with nothing hidden or last minute extras that you hear off with some services. Emma was also very easy to deal with and communications prompt and clear, which is equally so important. All the staff were very professional and offered IOHO a very good service at a very reasonable costing. I hope that it is many year before we need to use their services again, but when that time comes, we will again be in trusting in The Torbay and District Funeral Service.

Reverent, sympathetic and altogether a wonderful group. The funeral was calm and celebratory, focussing on the happiness and joys of mum Monica's life, exactly as we and mum wanted it to be. It gave us all a sense of peaceful closure on a very sad occasion,

Emma and the team were really great. Very helpful and clear throughout the process leading up to my relative's cremation, and then mindful, faultless, and very well presented on the day. Much appreciated.

Emma and her colleagues at Torbay and District Funeral Services were extremely compassionate and gave us thoughtful guidance in our difficult time. The funeral was made a lot easier and less stressful due to Emma's communication and organisational expertise. Many thanks from the Taylor family.
