As the year draws to a close, it’s common to think of the people who are special to us – especially those we've lost. That’s why we’ve chosen to take part in Light a Candle.

From 15 to 21 December we’ll be posting digital candles in memory of those who can’t be with us during the festive season. If you’d like to create a virtual candle, please click the following link where you can choose a design and write a short message to a loved one.

There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We’ll share your candles on our page.

We’re pleased to announce the return of Light a Candle this Christmas!

Taking part in this Christmas’s Light a Candle gives you the opportunity to create online memorials throughout the festive period.

Christmas is a special time to celebrate with family and friends, and our virtual candles are a thoughtful way to pay tribute to loved ones who are no longer with us.

We'll be sharing virtual candles on our page between 15 and 21 December. There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We look forward to sharing your memorials from 15 December.

🌿 A new report by SAIF and Funeral Solution Expert shows that independent funeral directors offer better value and care than national chains.

While big brands have raised prices, independent firms have lowered theirs, and nearly half of families say they’d choose a local, independent funeral director they know and trust.

At Forsey and Son we’re proud to keep offering fair prices, personal service and local care when it matters most.

It was a real honour to conduct the funeral of Councillor Nick Cottle yesterday. He was a wonderful gentlemen who we had the pleasure of dealing with on a number of occasions. He will be missed in the town of Glastonbury by all those who knew him and also by those who didn't know him but benefitted from his wisdom and diligence on the Town Council.
