Setting the highest standards for care, service and facilities
Working with charities and carers to improve support
Guiding families with local sensitivity and understanding
Our funeral directors in Plymouth are next to the Esso station and the dry cleaners, serving families right across the city. It is often the smallest things that bring the most comfort: a piece of music they loved, a favourite coat. You'll sit down with us when you're ready, tell us about the person you've lost, and take each decision in turn. Our Plymouth funeral directors are experienced and know the city's churches, chapels and crematoria well. Speak to our funeral home here and tell us what you have in mind.
Your local team can talk you through an attended funeral in Plymouth or an unattended funeral in Plymouth, and help you choose memorials in Plymouth when you feel ready. You can also see all our funeral directors in Devon.

I recently used the services of the Earl of Plymouth Funeral Directors. The whole team, from my first call were amazing, kind and caring. I would recommend Sarah, Terri and the whole team of Ladies to anyone who is planning a loved one’s funeral. My special thanks to our wonder driver Milly, she puts us at ease straight away. Nothing was too much trouble and all my messages were handled fully and promptly. Thank you all. Clare

I can't speak highly enough for Earl of Plymouth funeral directors, the whole experience was 2nd to none, from collecting my father's body, the organizing of the funeral, right up to the day itself, Penny the celebrant said all the right things, Sarah our funeral director organized everything perfectly. I'm sure dad would have been pleased with his send off.
Thankyou to all the team at Earl of Plymouth.
