🌿 A new report by SAIF and Funeral Solution Expert shows that independent funeral directors offer better value and care than national chains.

While big brands have raised prices, independent firms have lowered theirs, and nearly half of families say they’d choose a local, independent funeral director they know and trust.

At Forsey and Son we’re proud to keep offering fair prices, personal service and local care when it matters most.

It was a real honour to conduct the funeral of Councillor Nick Cottle yesterday. He was a wonderful gentlemen who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a number of occasions. He will be missed in the town of Glastonbury by all those who knew him and also by those who didn't know him but benefitted from his wisdom and diligence on the Town Council.
