We appreciate that dealing with the arrangements for a funeral isn't easy at a time when things are very difficult for you already. We want to make the process as easy as possible for you which is why we offer several fixed priced packages. The price you see is the price you pay. This can be from a simple dignified "no fuss" funeral to a funeral with a hearse and limousine in a cortege that leaves from the house.
We also offer a "no service cremation" that no one attends like David Bowie had. From our funeral home in St Austell, Cornwall we are well positioned to serve the surrounding area. We are more than happy to see you in our arrangement room at the funeral home or we can come to see you in the comfort of your own home.

Services
The Wedlake's have been funeral directors in the Bugle area since 1816, in 1921 Fitzroy Wedlake (pictured above) set up his funeral business in Higher Bugle, St Austell, Cornwall as V F Wedlake and Son. The funerals, like many of the time, ran alongside the carpentry and joinery business. This business was taken over by Mr Wedlake's Son Geoff, who in turn handed the business over to his Son's Alan and Roderick.
On leaving school Nick worked for the Co-op in St Austell, before having several roles at Restormel Borough Council. For a time Nick ran a horse drawn wedding carriage business "Your Carriage Awaits." Nick went onto work in sales for the leisure industry. In 2015 Nick was given the opportunity to work for a well known St Austell Funeral Directors, in 2017 Nick left to set up his own funeral home.
Nick and David are supported by Hadyne, Rod, Ian and Percy. Hadyne keeps the hearse looking clean and shiny and is usually driving the hearse. Rod is often driving the Limousine, while Ian and Percy are usually taking names, driving and assisting with taking loved ones into our care. They will all step in when needed as bearers and are an important part of our team.
