A truly wonderful Funeral Service. Anthony came to the house and was so incredibly helpful and kind at a time when we were all so upset and shocked. Help was given every step of the way and no question was too trivial. On the actual day of the Funeral Emily arrived with the hearse - a lovely smiling face who was so eager to make us all feel much easier. It was pouring with rain which then turned to snow, but no matter, umbrellas were provided for us all as we followed the hearse whilst she became soaked. Arrived at Church and she was still smiling. Emily added the most delightful lightness to the

I cannot recommend the team at Taunton funeral service highly enough. Not only are they exceptional at what they do, the team are also genuinely lovely human beings who understand the need for absolute dignity and respect during a bereavement. When my Mum died suddenly in August, Anthony, Emily and team were so patient, kind and thoughtful, despite the fact that I am sure I was all over the place and not making a huge amount of sense most of the time. The team at TFS took care of all the details, paying close attention to their knowledge of Mum and making sure that her service was absolutely reflective

I Highly recommend Taunton Funeral Service. Anthony James and his team have been exceptional in the quality of care and personal support and the very professional service they provided. After losing my wife I was in shock and I will never forget the compassion and help they provided me. Dealing with this family firm is a far better and more personal experience than I could have imagined. Thank you all so much. N. Marar

Anthony and his team were fantastic. Anthony helped us so much after we lost dad, taking the time to understand the sort of character Dad was, and helping to advise us on what might make the day personal and special. On such a hard day having TFS take care of things is one less thing to worry about. Highly recommend.

Thank you so much to Anthony and the team for helping me to cope with the pain of losing my husband. Nothing was too much trouble for them, and they put up with repeated questions from me in a professional, supportive and caring way. From the start they were always available, from my initial phone call late on a Sunday night to evening access to the Chapel of Rest for myself and relatives. Their input into the funeral 'design' was amazing, with suggestions if requested, and helped to give my husband a proper Wivey send-off - thanks especially go to Emily for the beautiful Order of Service ❤.

There wasn't a moment during our experience with Taunton Funeral Service when we didn't feel that we were being looked after by consummate professionals. They genuinely cared about ensuring that everything went just how we wanted it to be, had lots of experience to call upon yet never felt overbearing or like they were making us fit any model, so to speak. We're so glad we went with this local family firm and without hesitation would recommend them to others. Thanks

As a family we would like to thank Anthony for the great care and consideration shown to us after the death of my mother.
We cannot fault the service and guidance offered and Anthony gave us, as family ,plenty of time to reflect upon how we should like arrangements made, particularly under the present difficult circumstances.
Communication was thoughtful and good and Anthony coordinated very well with the village church vicar. We are grateful and highly recommend their excellent service.

First used the company 9 years ago for dad's funeral. Anthony was very professional, efficient, friendly and informative with all aspects of the funeral. Very good with Mum and nothing was too much trouble. He guided us through everything with minimum stress for us and made sure everything went smoothly.
Recently had to organise Mum's funeral so obviously choose Anthony again. He was very good again even down to making sure that the Vicar was at our first meeting which meant that everything could be organised at the same time. Very helpful with the issues with funerals under the current situation
