Ken Newcombe Funeral Directors

About us

Providing the highest standard of funeral care to the families of Cornwall, Ken Newcombe Funeral Directors is here for you at a difficult time. We have four separate branches across the county, making us accessible to the surrounding communities, and can help to ease some of the uncertainty you may be feeling following the loss of your loved one.

A longstanding presence in Cornwall, our first funeral home was opened in St Austell in 1983. Since then, we have established further funeral homes in Newquay, St Blazey and Bodmin. We pride ourselves on not only the level of service we have provided to local families over the years, but also on the professionalism and respect that characterises everything we do.

The families we serve and the wider community mean everything to us and our St Austell and Newquay branches are known locally for the Christmas Memorial Services we hold on an annual basis. Our team of funeral directors and supporting staff are mostly made up of local people, and it is this, combined with the expertise we have gained over the years, that gives us the knowledge that ensures your loved one receives a fitting send off.

For a dignified farewell for your loved one, get in touch with your nearest branch of Ken Newcombe Funeral Directors today.
