Otter Valley Funerals - Exmouth

24/04/2026

Exciting news!!! After 4.5 years of running around like a headless chicken between the Budleigh and Exmouth office let me introduce our new Funeral Administrator Sophie!!!
Sophie has been a close family friend for many years and when the time finally came that I realised I’m not superman and can’t do it alone, Sophie was the perfect choice to provide the personal attention that makes Otter Valley what it is. Sophie will float between the two offices as required and cover out of hours phones too 😊

We wholeheartedly support the governments decision to regulate the funeral profession.
We voluntarily open ourselves up to inspection from the National Association of Funeral Directors to demonstrate the standards to which we work to.
It is abhorrent that there is no legal requirement for us to do so when the care of people at their most vulnerable time is at stake. Our doors are always open should you have any questions. Simon

We welcome the announcement from Health Secretary Wes Streeting MP on plans to lead on the regulation of the funeral sector.

For families, this matters. Everyone deserves to know their loved one will be treated with dignity, respect and care and that those who fall short will be held to account.

For our profession, it’s equally important that any changes recognise the reality: the vast majority of funeral professionals uphold the highest standards every day, supporting people through their most difficult moments with compassion and integrity.

We will work with Government to help shape regulation that protects the public, while standing up for the professionalism and commitment of our members.

Dignity in death isn’t optional but the standard our profession is built on

A month into the new year so a little behind the curve but as we continue to push price transparency across our profession we offer these inclusive packages as well as our bespoke funeral service.
Visits to our chapel of rest are ALWAYS included as I don’t believe our care should change at the funeral home whether anyone is going to the service or not.
Trust your local, independent funeral director here in Exmouth.

Our office may be closed but we remain here for you personally 24/7. I wish you all a very happy Christmas and prosperous new year. Simon

Very excited to be attending the Association of Independent Celebrants conference as guest speaker this weekend with my Good Goodbyes co-host Camomile Ceremonies Tackling the ashes problem is something that we as a collective across the profession need to look at and this is a great opportunity to have that conversation with some creative minds!

A little share from our TikTok. What a beautiful evening yesterday, scattering ashes, celebrating a life and dancing into the sunset. What better send off could there possibly be?! Thanks to Stuart Line Cruises for the excellent service as always!

Absolutely delighted to be a finalist at this years Exmouth Chamber of Commerce business awards. Digital impact of the year, interesting for a funeral director you may think, could it be our 20,000 TikTok followers, the 3.6 million views dispelling myths about funerals and answering the unanswered questions. Maybe it’s because we have embraced our partnership with Muchloved and through online donations raised over £25,000 for charity in the last 12 months. Digital impact in the funeral industry, absolutely!!!
