Caring And Convenient Funeral Arrangements

Planning a funeral is not something many people look forward to. Losing a loved one is a hard experience without having to consider funeral arrangements and funeral tributes. At Stockman & Loram, we know how upsetting and confusing this time can be, which is why we try to make the process easier.

 

Funeral services involve everything from choosing the coffin to the logistics of transportation and attendance. While this may feel overwhelming, we’re here to help with funeral arrangements. We will assist you by helping you customise a funeral service that meets your budget. We are funeral directors with a great reputation across Devon for providing exceptional care and attention to detail. From green burials to funeral tributes and funeral notices in Paignton – we can do it all for you. Our initial conversation is free of charge, so you can decide if we are the right funeral directors to handle the funeral arrangements.

 

Immediate concerns that we can help with prior to finalising any actual funeral details will include:

 

  • Moving your loved one into our care from where they passed away
  • Liaising with doctors (this is often not straightforward)
  • Advice and assistance with the registration of your loved ones’ death
  • Immediate assistance in contacting organisations such as banks and insurance companies

Non Religious Funerals

Funerals are becoming increasingly more personal in nature. Many of us prefer to have a non religious funeral with music and poems instead of hymns and prayers. Sometimes a more personal funeral is wanted with just a brief prayer at the committal. All our service are bespoke so you can create the personal farewell that reflects the life of your loved one.

Testimonials

My mum recently passed away in Torbay hospital. Being a Brixham family, we did not hesitate to choose Stockman and Loram to arrange her funeral. Vanessa was very compassionate and caring throughout and made the whole process a beautiful experience.I made the very difficult decision to go and see my mum at the chapel of rest. I was apprehensive and quite worried I’d have made the wrong decision but I couldn’t have been more wrong. Vanessa dressed her so very beautifully, tastefully presented yet so glamorous. Mum would have loved it and I have no regrets! Seb made an out of hours visit especially for me and my daughter to see her. He also was thoughtful and had a very calming influence over me.
The funeral service itself was perfect, accommodating all the needs of our family, nothing was too much, including a quiet, private graveside ceremony.
Vanessa also chose the most fantastic Reverend, who was so very well suited to myself. He visited me at home and guided me through the plans, with a wonderful sense of humour that lightened the load. Without him leading the service I would not have got through it as well as I did.

We are very thankful to all the team involved and highly recommend this family run business, to care for your loved one, on their last journey.
A special thank you to Vanessa, Seb and the Reverend Chris who looked after me so well during such a sad time.

Just to say a big thank you for the outstanding service provided by Stockman and Loram on the occasion of my mother’s funeral.

Their support and guidance not only for the organisation of the funeral but also on the numerous tasks that need to be completed when a person passes away was invaluable in helping me to cope at a difficult time. Their professionalism, sensitivity and attention to detail culminated in a moving and well managed celebration of my mother’s life which was a credit to the whole team.  Peter’s contribution in the way he took us through the service was outstanding. The insertion of the music and video presentations between the family tributes provided balance and gave us the opportunity to reflect on the life of a very special person.

Many thanks to everyone involved.

Robert Hunt arranged my late husband’s funeral. He was really professional and caring. Nothing was too much trouble and he was always available at the end of a phone for queries, advice, etc. He was considerate and mindful of our feelings after losing our precious John. He even stopped outside John’s barber shop for 5 minutes so that his customers could pay their respects – even though this was in Kingsteignton and we had left from Torquay. Timings were absolutely spot on and later, when we interred John’s ashes in with his mother and father, he was there early, beautifully dressed, and treated John’s ashes with great respect. I would not hesitate to recommend this family business to anyone in their time of sadness.

Great Service and high standards highly recommended

My family used Stockmans recently and cannot express enough how valuable their support and professionalism was appreciated. They took care of everything with the most respect, care and patience at a very hard time. Nothing was too much trouble and they offered a 5 star service with compassion and understanding of all our special needs being Greek Orthodox. We cannot thank Seb enough for the high standard of service he, and his staff, showed to us, our family and friends and the respect they showed our Dad whilst in their care. We would highly recommend their professional services to everyone especially people with specialised requirements for religion etc. Cannot fault them at all. Thank you

Amazing Helpful Service

Just to say a huge thank you to you all in making it such a special day yesterday in celebrating dad’s life.

All your arrangements provided a cohesive and dignified occasion for our dad.

The flowers were lovely. An informal display reflecting the lovely Devonshire hedgerow. Exactly our brief. All your help with all our arrangements was greatly appreciated. All who I came into contact with were so kind and understanding.

Thank you again.

Outstanding service

Our family has used this service a number of times over the past 20 years. On each occasion the service has been impeccable. Kind, compassionate staff who appear to instinctively know what is needed in the moment. They are responsive, reliable and work to an exceptionally high standard. Each time I have personally encountered this service and their staff I have been impressed and reassured by their professional conduct and kindness and courtesy. I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We highly recommend Stockman’s

We cannot thank Seb and all of the team at T&I Stockman enough for all the support they have given to our family; their understanding and incredible efficiency has made this difficult time so much easier.

The Stockman Loram teamwork has been excellent; they are respectful, proactive and motivated, they have been a constant source of knowledge and strength.

Our son’s service went so smoothly, which is a huge comfort to us. Seb and the team couldn’t have been any more reliable, decent or respectful and were the scaffolding that held it all together.
