We are an independent family owned funeral service in Bude, Cornwall, located close to the Devon border

Thank you so much for everything – you are amazing and we are incredibly thankful to you for your warmth, friendliness and compassion. I know my husband would also be very grateful knowing how much support you have given me throughout these challenging and emotional times.

I would like to mention some local businesses who have been utterly amazing since the passing of my lovely Mum.

Firstly, Denise Wellington of Denise Wellington Funeral Services – the warmest, kindest, and most wonderful lady.

She dealt with everything with the utmost professionalism, but also with such love and I genuinely felt like I had a friend there on the funeral day.

I am immensely grateful and couldn’t recommend you more highly.

I survived the period of the passing of Julie because of your personal help, professional caring and compassion for which I am and shall always be so grateful. Thank you to all of you at Thornelea who saw to my needs at that sad time.

Dear Denise,

We want to thank you for everything you did for Mum’ funeral.

Mum was treated with such dignity and respect – all of which she thoroughly deserved!

You helped us all navigate a really difficult and emotional time; the hugs were welcome too!

Please pass our thanks onto the rest of your team as everyone treated us with such kindness.

Thank you again.

I really don’t know how to thank you enough for the care and attention both mum and we have received during our recent bereavement. I had no idea how complicated the various stages would be and you have steered us expertly, calmly and with great compassion through the whole process, culminating in the most glorious service of thanksgiving at St Andrew’s yesterday, that mum would have thoroughly enjoyed. Our community is incredibly lucky to have you and your wonderful skills and we were lucky to have you looking after mum and us.With heartfelt thanks

With sensitive and consummate professionalism throughout, the team at Gubbins supported us with all the planning and liaison and practicalities. We could trust them to see us through, and their recommendations were excellent and experienced with the uncertainty of numbers attending that come with a funeral. The financial side also was clear, reasonable and up-front with no pressure to over spend. I unreservedly recommend the Gubbins team on every level.
