Delighted to announce the dates for Death Cafe 2026!

We are so pleased to see this returning in 2026

Pop the dates in your diaries and we look forward to seeing you

The ethos of Death Cafe is always to be agenda free, led by the people in the room on the day, but we've had so many kind offers of help to provide information to our community that it seemed to good an opportunity to not use this space as a place people can also get information related to the end of life and beyond.

I am therefore so pleased to say that each cafe will have experts in advance care planning, end of life care and funerals present, in case anyone attending would like to know a little more.

So do come and join us, for a gentle, open and curious discussion about all things death and dying. Come for the cake...stay for the company!

Next Cafe: 2pm, 27th February 2026, at the Glassbox in Taunton Library on Paul Street 🍃

👉Guide to Bereavement Support Available in Bridgwater👈

When someone you love dies, the early days can feel overwhelming. Grief affects everyone differently, and there’s no right or wrong way to move through it. What matters most is knowing you don’t have to cope alone.

Here in Bridgwater, and the surrounding Somerset communities, there are several organisations, groups and resources offering gentle, understanding support.

Below is a guide to the bereavement support available locally. We hope it helps you to get the support you need...

Talking about death still feels uncomfortable for many people in the UK. That is slowly changing with the advent of Death Cafes

More community spaces have opened up where people can talk about dying or share their grief with others. Two types sound similar: Death cafe; and Grief cafe, but they serve different needs. Knowing the difference can help you choose the right setting for yourself or for someone you care about.

Sometimes, the smallest moments of support make the biggest difference.

Here in Bridgwater, families often tell us that what they need most during a difficult time isn’t paperwork or formality - it’s someone who listens, understands and gently guides them through each step.

If you ever find yourself needing advice, have a question about what to do next, or simply want to talk something through, we’re here. No obligation, no pressure - just a caring local team ready to help in whatever way feels right for you.

Whether you’re planning ahead, supporting someone else, or navigating a loss, please know you don’t have to do it alone.
🌿 Our door is always open.

When someone dies, you deserve care that feels personal. As a women-led team of independent funeral directors in Bridgwater, we are here to help.

Grief Awareness Week begins today

As funeral directors, we’re reminded every day that grief has no timetable, no rulebook, and no “right” way to feel. Each person’s journey is unique and every feeling along the way is valid.

This week, we come together to recognise that grief is not something to “get over,” but something we learn to live with. It deserves space, compassion, and understanding.

If you’re grieving, please know:
💚 You are not alone
💚 Your story matters
💚 Support is available, and it’s okay to ask for it

We’re thinking of everyone that might be suffering a loss, no matter how long ago we know it still hurts x

Fifteen years ago today, Lel and I opened Wallace Stuart Lady Funeral Directors

Just two ladies on a mission to provide affordable, all female led funeral care - supporting families at their time of need

Today, Walllace Stuart may look a little different, with the next generation coming up through - stronger and better than ever before

We always believed in our ethos “a good funeral does not mean it has to be an expensive funeral, just one where you know you have done your very best for your loved one and carried out their wishes with love and honour”

Thank you to everyone who believed in us ❤️

Here’s to the next 15 years ❤️

Incredibly proud of Caitlin who conducted her first funeral today at Taunton Crematorium

Caitlin has supported the family from their very first telephone call and today her first walk in front of the hearse, was Ruth’s final walk of honour ❤️

Never underestimate how difficult and challenging the role of a funeral director is - their final walk is a tiny part of the hard work and support that goes in to ensure everything is perfect for the family

We are so very proud of you Caitlin, keep being you ❤️ x
