Wonderful team at Albery & Redstone. After a family member from Okehampton died I contacted the team from Australia - worried that I would not be able to do anything until in the area. Albery & Redstone went above and beyond to walk me through the process and offer great recommendations for both flowers and celebrants - making the whole process as stress free and low pain as possible. I would highly recommend that you search this team out if you are unfortunate enough to need a funeral director. Particular thanks go out to Fiona who made sure that everything went smoothly.

My mum choose to plan her funeral with Albery and Redstone and we are so happy that she did, from the first phone call to the aftercare the personal touch was incredible. Nothing was too much and no question to silly, we knew that mum was in the best possible hands. They made everything easier and we had the day mum had planned exactly how she planned it. Thank you for caring so much.

When my 99 year old mother-in-law passed away at our home at the end of November my wife needed to appoint an undertaker very quickly. Albery & Redstone was recommended to us and we have to say that right from the initial phone conversation with David throughout the entire process we never ceased to be impressed with the service. The initial meeting with David was similarly impressive, but his patience and attention to detail was very reassuring. My wife had looked after her mother for almost 9 years, but it was very comforting when transferring care to that of Albery & Redstone. All the arrangements including Orders of Service and flowers worked out perfectly with a church service locally and then onwards to the Exeter Crematorium. David and Fiona were very professional and respectful, but also very easy to deal with and we have no hesitation in recommending Albery & Redstone Independent Funeral Directors.

Following the bereavement of a close family member, we approached Albery and Redstone to help with arrangements for the subsequent cremation, service and burial. Throughout the process they were respectful and supportive, helping us at a very difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble and they ensured our wishes were followed. Thank you to David, Fiona and the team for all the kindness and assistance provided.

David arranged and led funerals for both of my parents. My dad passed away first and David was wonderful with supporting my mother and all our family members. Nothing was too much trouble. My mother was so impressed that she then made it clear to us that David should be involved in her funeral, when the time should come. As before, David was very professional and helped us through a very difficult time. Our family recommends David as a very capable, caring & professional person and funeral director. He is a perfectionist in all he does and goes the extra mile to meet the wishes of his clients. Thank you David, hope you will be around when my time comes!

I lost my partner to pancreatic cancer in November 2020 and even though we had decided what type of funeral he was to have it was still a very painful time. Paul died at home so it was a terribly emotional time when his body was collected. David however with his years of experience, professionalism and dedication to his job made the process easier to endure. I knew that once Paul was in David's care he was treated with the upmost respect and dignity, it was no trouble to him when I asked for little things to go into the coffin and be dressed. I cannot recommend David and his team enough, at such a difficult and emotional time they ooze warmth and an extremely high standard of care for you and your loved one.

At such a sad time Kay and David at Albery and Redstone Funeral Directors are compassionate, contactable, caring and very quick to respond to questions and wishes. They listen and take time to get every detail as requested. From the initial meeting with David through to the final commital one feels that loved ones are truly cared for. This is so comforting and reassuring. Kay is always available on the 'phone or in the office to answer queries or give help and advice and David provides a reassuring and reliable presence on the funeral day. All proceedings are conducted with dignity and respect. Nothing seems too much trouble for Kay and David, and one feels they feel privileged to carry out their work and our thanks go out to them for all they do.

My family and I have employed the services of David and his team on two occasions now, firstly upon the death of my mother last year, and, more recently, following the passing of my husband. On both occasions we found the care, kindness, friendliness and empathy to be second to none. David and his staff manage to successfully achieve that very fine line between absolute professionalism and compassion, which in my experience is something you don't find very often, and for that we extend our thanks and gratitude. The team will always take that extra step to ensure that proceedings go according to plan and in accordance with our wishes (I thank them for their patience with my assorted indecisions!) To anyone seeking a funeral service that meets the high standards you will be wanting and expecting at what is a very difficult time I would not hesitate to recommend the Okehampton & District Funeral Service.
