About Us

    About Torbay & District Funeral Service

    At Torbay & District Funeral Service, we have been helping local families at one of the most difficult times since 1962.

    Laurence Mason founded Torbay & District Funeral Service in 1962 after gaining experience in the Funeral Furnishers department at Williams & Cox, Torquay, and a number of our team have now been with us for over 30 years.

    The team at our Torquay funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. We have our own service venue on-site.

    Here at Torbay & District Funeral Service we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.

    Where do I start? That was the question running through my head when my dad passed last month. In one of the most difficult times a person goes through, you have so many questions running through your head. Luckily, my family and I had Emma…

    Faultless. They were professional, prompt and very helpful. Even to the extent that on the day of the funeral they arrived early to account for road works which would have caused a real issue otherwise. If you need a funeral director, then they are the…

    We would like to express our deepest thanks to Emma for everything she did for our family following the loss of my brother. Arranging a funeral is something none of us ever expect to have to face, and having Emma there to take care of…

    Emma was extremely helpful - we can't fault anything as it was so well organised for us. Live streaming at Drakes would have been nice but we managed with our own phone.…

    Having thoroughly researched very many funeral directors in the Torbay area, I can say that these are the best. Not the cheapest, but they offer everything that you can want; it is worth it. Also, very professional.

    First class service, never pressured into unwanted things, and many useful suggestions and tips. I would have no hesitation to recommend Emma for anyone needing funeral services.

    Funeral Director

    I’m Emma, ever since being at school I wanted to work in the funeral industry.
    I started off for many years being a funeral arranger, then later on worked at a crematorium, then got back into funeral arranging once again.
    I am now a funeral director which has been my biggest dream.
    I promise I will do my best to guide you, support you and give your loved ones the best send-off they deserve.

    I love spending time with my family, love being active and enjoy my summer holidays.
