This evening, Tracey, our Funeral Director went to work in her second job as she is also an elf who helps Father Christmas in Lapland. This evening Father Christmas and his trusty elf visited the children at Martock Primary School PTA Christmas party to make sure they have been good. Handing out reindeer food to the children to leave out on Christmas Eve for their very hungry reindeer.
Stuart was nowhere to be seen 😮

Last night the team here at Bishops Funeral Services attended the Numeric Charity Ball held at Chard Guild Hall.
A lovely evening was had by all and was so nice to meet the people of chard and raise money for such worthy charities.
Stuart is exceptionally please that he won a personalised Henry hoover in the silent auction.

One of the sayings I hear on a daily basis in regards to grief at work is “time is a healer”, no it is not, in time we learn how to manage our grief, we learn how to live with it on a daily basis, we learn, in time how to live a different way of life without our loved one present. We will never fully “heal” from losing the unbreakable bond of love in this world as we know it.
We are always here for you, day and night, myself and my team dedicate themselves to you at the time as a supporting, guiding hand through the darkness.

Managing Director

A review left for us today on Google review. The words from the families we look after - not ours ❤️
It’s not what we do, it’s how we do it ❤️

It is with great pleasure we introduce Tracey-Ann your Funeral Director at Bishop’s Funeral Services.
As you maybe aware, Stuart Foster Funeral Services Ltd purchased Bishop’s Funeral Services at the beginning of this year. Since the take over, Bishop’s Funeral Services has gone from strength to strength with more families entrusting their loved one in our care than ever.
Tracey-Ann is one of our well-loved, dedicated Funeral Directors at our Yeovil branch who has agreed to take a 6 month secondment in order to give the grieving families of Chard and surrounding areas our award winning level of care, also to train new members of staff in the core values we work to.
We wish Tracey-Ann well and if you see her in the street don’t be afraid to say hello.
