A family in Minehead loses their father on a quiet Friday evening. They have adult children who have driven across from Bristol and Taunton to be with him at the end. Now, at 8:30pm, they need to set things in motion. They have agreed on which funeral home to use — the one on the high street that their mother used years ago. They call. The office is shut. ForgeMason answers in your name, listens with care, and ensures your on-call director is ready to call back within the hour.
Minehead is the main service town for a large area of west Somerset and the Exmoor fringe, serving communities from Watchet and Williton in the east to Porlock and Lynton in the west. Many of these communities are remote, with older populations and limited access to services. When a death occurs in Dulverton, Exford, or one of the Exmoor villages, the family may have only one local funeral home in mind. If that home doesn't answer — even at 11pm — the family faces a difficult search. ForgeMason is available every hour, so the families who reach out to you are never left without a response.
