Robson & Stephens Independent Funeral Directors Open New Branch in Bridgwater

Friday 14th August, 2020

It’s been fantastic to open the new branch of Robson & Stephens Independent Funeral Directors in Bridgwater. The 6 July was a very special day for us as our new Bridgwater funeral home came to fruition.

While our funeral home in Minehead has been operating successfully for many years, it has long been our intention to offer funeral services in Bridgwater.

Our funeral services in Bridgwater

Mark, Gary, Marie and Melissa are all Bridgwater ‘locals’ and proud to be part of the community. We understand what is expected of us and appreciate the vital role we can play. Mark has arranged funerals in Bridgwater and the surrounding area for over 30 years.

Family is at the heart of everything we do. We understand how upsetting and painful losing a loved one can be. For many, arranging a funeral is a daunting prospect and it can feel incredibly overwhelming. Our aim is to alleviate as much of the stress as possible. Our friendly team provide a compassionate and personalised service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

A personal service

The responsibility of helping families when they need it most is a weighty task, but one that we are more than up to. As Independent Funeral Directors, we do not have to meet specific targets or be bound by corporate rules. You will find our team flexible and responsive to your needs.

There is no such thing as a ‘standard’ funeral here. We understand that no two families are the same and are happy to incorporate creative ideas into a funeral service. This is a lovely way to personalise the funeral service. We can guide you through the options, so you and your family celebrate the life of a loved one in a way that helps to make you happy and proud. For us, the best recommendation is a personal one.

Funeral Directors committed to Bridgwater

We have a real commitment to the Bridgwater community. This is where we live and work and where we plan to stay. When you need us most, we will be here for you. After all, we are part of your community.

We can help with all aspects of funeral planning. Whether you need advice about choosing a pre-paid funeral plan or information on the costs of the different funeral services available, we are here to help. And if you need immediate assistance at the time of a death, we are contactable 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

If you would like a friendly chat with no pressure or obligation, please call in to see us or telephone 01278 497300.

We look forward to talking to you.
