Our experienced, compassionate funeral directors are here to help you plan the personal tribute you require for your loved one. We will work with you, to plan in detail, your exact requirements and offer advice and suggestions where you may be unsure. We will take away any stress or uncertainty in making the arrangements and keep you informed of progress regularly.

This list outlines some of the more popular requests we get, however, every funeral is different and we would recommend a meeting to discuss your exact requirements.
At Peakes of Tolcarne we offer Perfect Choice Funeral Plans which guarantee that our funeral director's costs (as set out in the plan paperwork) are covered as long as we carry out the funeral and your requirements don't change. You can also choose to make a contribution towards third party costs which are outside our control, such as the fees for cremation or burial, medical fees and payment to a minister or officiant.
We would like to thank Peakes of Tolcarne on behalf of all of us following the death of our wife/mother Margaret. The kindness that Ann showed our family was outstanding and all our wishes. I could not recommend Peakes enough, and I am so grateful for their support through difficult times. We have no hesitation in recommending Peakes.

We first approached HN Peake for a funeral plan for mum and were impressed by their kindness and thoughtfulness. When we suffered a bereavement with another member of our family we went to them again. We were thankful for the kind and sensitive way Jeremy and Ann spoke to us about the arrangements. The funeral was carried out in a dignified way and took in our wishes. We are very grateful for the way they conducted the day and arrangements leading up to it and made it a very fitting and memorable day for a loved one. Thank you.

The service provided from beginning to end has been exceptional . Every slightest detail was noted and dealt with with patience and quiet compassion. Everybody in the family could be included in the burial and were well guided by Ann and her colleagues. Would definitely recommend this small independent funeral directors. Simply excellent.

My sister and I found Peakes on the basis of reading all the lovely google reviews about Ann. When the time came for Peakes to handle our father's funeral we were truly blessed to have the wonderful Jeremy take the lead. He is compassionate, understanding, friendly, warm and funny - everything we needed at such a difficult time. No challenge was too complex and we cannot thank Jeremy, everyone at Peakes, and of course Ann, for everything they did for us and for our Dad.
For anyone having to make this terrible choice my sister and I cannot recommend Peakes more to help and support you through such

We have recently been bereaved with the passing of our dear Mum. The thought of arranging a funeral was so hard to comprehend until I phoned Peakes and spoke with Ann Tew. Ann showed myself and my family empathy and compassion right from the first phone call. Ann made a very difficult time, bearable. Ann was available day and night to answer any questions we had or if we just needed to chat. Ann made the whole experience a personal one especially the day of the funeral when she led the hearse on foot through Newlyn for our Mums final journey. We as a family will be forever grateful to Ann for the

Completely amazing funeral directors. They were so kind and helpful, and extremely competent. We had unusual requirements - a pagan ceremony with a woodland burial, children decorating the shroud etc. - and they didn't turn a hair, in fact they made a big contribution to making the funeral go just the way the deceased person had wanted it to go. I recommend them highly.

Arranging a funeral is never easy and this was especially hard not being local to the area. Immediately upon contacting Peakes of Tolcarne I felt completely at ease and reassured. The process was smooth throughout and Ann was especially attentive to our needs and communications via email, text and phone. The whole experience was exceptional and we thank Ann for all her help making a difficult time that little bit easier.

I would highly recommend Peakes for their personal touch that made all the difference. Planning a funeral is tough and Ann’s guidance was invaluable during this stressful time. Peakes are with you all the way guiding and informing about the process whilst also making sure that the funeral is personal to you.
Particular thanks to Ann for her kindly calm manner which was so reassuring and her care is genuinely touching.
Thank you Ann and your team for being there for us when we needed it.

I was recommended to Peakes when my father passed away and my god was it a good recommendation i cannot express the gratitude and compassion that was give given to me and my family from Jeremy Ann and Paul nothing was to much trouble from start to finish. The pricing was a shock to the system as where i come from in Essex it would of been twice the amount that Jeremy had charged me so when my step mum passed away 11 months later i had no hesitation in contacting Jeremy again and again everything was spot on If you want someone that is passionate about there job and caring then this is the company
