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

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.

This is just a short note to thank you so much for arranging the funeral of my dear friend. Your understanding and advice made such a difference. The day itself was so efficiently organized, it made the whole event quite stress free. Thank you again.

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.

Dear Denise,

Just a short note to say thank you for the immaculate service you provided for the funeral of our precious Daughter.

It helped us so much to make the whole process so much easier.

Thank you sincerely.

I would like to pass on our thanks from myself and my brother for a beautiful service that you provided for my mum. We could not have asked for a better send off. From start to finish you showed your professionalism and care with every detail of the service and it showed that it’s not just a business for you. So again, thank you to you and your staff for everything, from the bottom of our heart’s thank you.

We just wanted to say a very big thank you for all your kindness, help, and support over a very difficult time. You are all so kind and we really do appreciate it. We certainly know why Mum wanted to leave everything in your capable hands.
