A E Stoodley & Son

A E Stoodley & Son was established in 1926 and remains an independent business, in contrast to the many funeral directors now owned by large groups. It arranges traditional, contemporary and simple funerals, including green funerals, and offers a local direct cremation from £1495, with no formal service and no one present at the cremation. Tracey Warren, the owner and a funeral director for over 22 years in the Dorset and Somerset community, leads the team alongside Colin Roberts. The CMA standardised price list and terms of business are published, and its principles are care, dignity, transparency and flexibility. Pre-paid funeral plans are available through Golden Charter, which is authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority. The firm belongs to SAIF and the NAFD and is recommended by the Natural Death Centre. Rated 4.9 from 17 Google reviews, and it has recently moved premises.
