The process - called alkaline hydrolysis - will offer families a third option instead of burial or traditional cremation.

Our Story

Founded in 1946 by Wilfred Albert Forsey, we remain an independent family-run firm of funeral directors offering a personal, professional and sympathetic service with complete flexibility to accommodate the needs of our clients. Our success has meant that we now cover a wide area of Somerset, providing a 24 hour service.

We are also proud to incorporate Trotman Funeral Directors and Oswald Clarke Funeral Directors into the Forsey and Son name. Trotman Funeral Directors is based in the village of Cranmore and has served the village and surrounding community for the past four generations. Equally, Oswald Clarke Funeral Directors, based in Bruton, was started just one year after Forsey and Son and has served the local community with dignity and professionalism ever since. Membership of the professional organisations regulating funeral directing provides reassurance that we observe strict codes of practice in all aspects of our work. Adrian Forsey, his son Sam Forsey and their colleagues would be pleased to assist you with any matters in complete confidence.
