New Year's Day. A family in Midsomer Norton has spent the previous evening at a hospital vigil. Their mother passed away shortly after midnight. As the town sleeps off the festivities, they sit together and make the call. It is 9am on a bank holiday. ForgeMason answers in your funeral home's name — composed, warm, and professional — takes what they need, and notifies your on-call director so the family is not left waiting on the most difficult morning of the year.
Midsomer Norton and Radstock sit at the northern edge of Somerset, within easy reach of Bath and the Bristol commuter belt. Families here have more choice than in remoter parts of the county — national chains advertise heavily in this area. An independent funeral home's strongest assets are personal relationships and genuine availability. Radstock, Paulton, Peasedown St John, and Westfield all form part of the catchment. A family who calls at 2am and gets voicemail may search Google and find a national group who answers them immediately. ForgeMason keeps that conversation with you.
