Reviews by office
Shoobridge Funeral Services exists for many reasons – primarily one of business. To state otherwise would be an obvious error but let us tell you why.
We, as a family, are driven by a desire to help others in difficult circumstances. We have taken this commitment and strive at every opportunity to give you, the members of the public who find themselves in an unusual and possibly distressing circumstance, the help, support and guidance you now need to take control of the next step, exercising every possible choice to suit you, the person who has died and those that are affected by their passing.
Over the many years that we have been in this privileged position, we have received personal and professional tributes that we find humbling. To state the privilege of trust that you bestow on us and to fulfil your wishes to the very best of our ability is truly an honour. That you entrust us to carry out the arrangements that will result in the final journey of your loved one is both our commitment and part of that very honour.
'Shoobridge Funeral Services have been truly inspirational and very supportive.'
"I would like to say that Paul and Abi who are the "soul"of Shoobridge Funeral Services have been truly inspirational and very supportive when my mother died a few weeks ago. They are both lovely to talk to and show great respect and care for the deceased.
Paul is steadfast and, with such experience, knows exactly what to say and do at this difficult and sad time. Abi is very creative, and as the celebrant, is able give the type of ‘service’ according to the individual's needs. Abi is an excellent writer and poet which adds to the flow and passionate lead throughout the funeral service.
Thank you so much for a lovely send off for Mum."
'She must surely have known my late wife to have delivered such an emotional eulogy!'
Having approached Paul whilst investigating Funeral Directors in Exmouth. I was immediately impressed by his compassion, helpfulness and professionalism even during the initial inquiries, that I decided to engage Shoobridge without further deliberation. The advice, preparations and delivery of the service went faultlessly throughout.
Abi Price the suggested Celebrant was an absolute star. Her professionalism and manner was outstanding with many friends commenting that she must surely have known my late wife to have delivered such an emotional eulogy!
Very high praise was given to me by everyone attending about the service overall, which is very much attributed to the excellent Shoobridge team - Thank you all so much for making a very difficult day easier for myself and my family.
'Straightforward, simple and lovely'
"Dear Penny, Thank you (officially) for making dad’s funeral as straightforward, simple and lovely as he could have hoped for. He chose wisely in his (slightly premature) organising! I would like to thank you in particular and your staff for the efficient way you carried out my dad’s funeral. Especially the caring way you dealt with my mother."
'You made everything so uncomplicated'
"Dear Paul, I would like to thank you on behalf of us all for dealing with mum in such an empathetic, respectful way. You made everything so uncomplicated and the service was just how I think mum would have liked."
'I am overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness and kindness'
"I am overwhelmed by your thoughtfulness and kindness. Thank you so very much for the video and photographs of my mom's funeral. It was truly a beautiful ceremony and absolutely everything was way beyond my expectations – I really could not have wished for more - and I am sure that Mom would feel the same.
What a lovely day, with the sun shining and the birds singing, in really beautiful surroundings. Thank you so much for the sensitive and wonderful way in which Mom was honoured and laid to rest. Thank you for stepping in and conducting the ceremony itself. Paul, you have given me such a precious gift, not only in all of this, but also in sending me the video. I tried so hard to imagine what her funeral was like, but now I feel part of the final "goodbye – till we meet again."
'I would have been lost without you'
"Dear Penny, Paul and Staff, I can not put into words how much I appreciate all you have done for my Ray and myself, I would have been lost without you. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything. What little time my Ray had with you I know he would have liked and enjoyed your company. He knows I want to keep in touch with you. I just don't know how to repay your kindness. You are lovely people, I am so lucky I met you. If you need me at anytime for anything please do not hesitate to call me, even if you want something picked up! Thank you once again, Love always..."
'I felt we were being looked after by good friends, thank you'
"Dear Penny, Terry and Paul, Just a short note to say thank you for the care and attention given with all aspects associated with the funeral arrangements of Eileen. The occasion was a very sad one of course but the service and committal couldn't have gone any better and throughout, I felt we were being looked after by good friends as well as caring and efficient service providers. My sister and members of Eileen's family made similar comments too."
'Very special, our mum would have been so pleased'
"Dear Penny, I write to say thank you to you and your family for making such a special time for our mums funeral on September 30th. We were so sad that our mother had died but thought how you had looked after and helped us – Kate who was just lovely and so kind. The willow casket, Suzanne's flowers, the new crematorium with all its openness. The sunny day and all the young people who also came – making it all so very special. Am sure our mum would have been so pleased."
'Extremely professional and yet sympathetic'
"Dear Penny, Terry & Paul, We are writing to thank you for organising Brian's funeral. Your approach, during a very difficult time for us, was extremely professional and yet sympathetic and very friendly and you made the whole process so much easier for us. We were amazed how you brought everything together for us, and took away all the worry. So, many thanks to you both and your lovely team, we would gladly recommend you to anyone."
'Paul looked after us as a family, as well as caring for dad'
"Paul and his team looked after mum when she sadly passed away so we knew dad would be in safe hands and well cared for. Paul and the team are very professional but compassionate and empathetic at the same time.
Paul looked after us as a family as well as caring for dad. He has the ability to quickly build and understand relationships. As a result, he provided the care and support we needed as a family. Paul was very understanding and supportive when he found out that until my family came home, I was flying solo in terms of managing the arrangements for Dad.
They are an amazing team and made everything easier to deal with. We, as a family, cannot thank everyone enough."
