Proud Sponsors of Tomorrow's Stars

Brunel Independent Funeral Directors are honoured to be sponsoring the Portishead Town Junior Football Team this season. Supporting local youth and helping build strong community connections is at the heart of what we do.

We believe in nurturing potential, teamwork, and resilience—values that matter both on and off the pitch. Here's to a fantastic season ahead for these talented young players. We'll be cheering you on every step of the way!

As the week winds down, we find ourselves reflecting—not just on the work we've done, but on the lives we've honoured and the families we've supported. Being a funeral director isn't just a job; it's a calling that asks for compassion, strength, and quiet resilience.

This week has brought its share of emotion, grace, and gratitude. To the families who entrusted us with their loved ones' final journeys—thank you. It's a privilege to walk beside you in those tender moments.

Though the working week may be ending, our care never does. At Brunel Independent Funeral Directors, we’re always here—day or night—to offer support, guidance, and a listening ear whenever it's needed.
Contact us anytime: 0117 374 2002

Wishing everyone peace, rest, and time with those who matter most.

After six years of serving our community, our funeral home has recently undergone a thoughtful refurbishment. As part of the improvements, we’ve added more desk space to better accommodate our team and visitors. We hope that it feels a little more comfortable and warmly invite you to visit to see our refreshed and, hopefully, welcoming environment.
