Stockman & Loram Family Run Funeral Service - Brixham

03/12/2025

Many people have contacted us about Conquerer Wood, the natural burial site formerly operated by Torbay Coast & Countryside Trust.

We understand that the uncertainty surrounding this is unsettling, and would encourage anyone who receives correspondence from the administrators to respond accordingly.

We have been advised that because the site was leasehold between TCCT and Torbay Council, any pre purchased graves are being added to the list of Creditors, and we sincerely hope that Torbay Council will honor the existing arrangements.

If you receive any correspondence regarding your pre purchased grave it is important that you respond as required.

We are proud to support our local Royal British Legion branches with their Remembrance services. You can give to the 2025 Poppy Appeal through the link below.

Our support can be a lifeline for many serving and ex-serving personnel and their families, but we need your help to continue providing these services.

If you are in the process of arranging a funeral, there are some questions you should ask:

Where will your loved rest?
Are the funeral directors accredited by SAIF?
Do they have their own premises,staff and vehicles?
What services do they provide ‘in house’?

There’s been a sharp increase in online only companies popping up, who operate by relying entirely on 3rd parties but still charge families “professional fees”. Some of these facades appear to be local through clever marketing techniques but operate from residential addresses.

There are so many things involved with providing excellent funeral arrangements, from the staff, specialist vehicles, industry standard mortuary and chapel of rest equipment and facilities to providing a wide range of products and memorial items, coffin styles, media systems, printing and stationary, IT and other online customer services.

Remember, not all funeral directors are the same. We always welcome you to come and see our facilities and discuss how we can offer the very best arrangements with complete control over the important services - we don’t rely on others to look after the deceased or provide the vehicles and staff.

Direct Cremation? Don't use a national company...

There are many national companies that provide this type of service, many of which come down from 'up country' in a commercial van and collect multiple deceased persons en masse, as it makes them more money.

We don't agree with this practice, as it is not only undignified but also causes deceased to be left in Hospital mortuaries for days, sometimes weeks, unbeknown to their loved ones.

At Stockman & Loram, our Direct Cremation option still benefits from the same care and respect that we are renowned for. We look after the deceased in our local Chapels of Rest in Brixham and Paignton and the cremation takes place at a local Crematorium, rather than being taken anywhere in the country.

You can find out more about Direct Cremation, and how to take out a pre paid Direct Cremation funeral plan by contacting one of our offices or by e-mailing: info@stockmanandloram.co.uk
