We are seeing an increasing number of scams on Facebook asking for credit card details to view a supposed live stream of a funeral, or to make donations. These may be a scam. ALWAYS check with your funeral director for the correct information.

🏆⚽ Walter C. Parson Cup Final 🏆⚽

The 2024 Walter C. Parson League Cup Final between Elburton Villa and Okehampton Argyle was hosted by Bovey Tracey AFC.

An excellent crowd of 398 witnessed the cup final, despite a torrential downpour at half time which meant the second half was delayed for 40 minutes whilst the pitch was drained.

Okehampton Argyle came out as 3-1 winners and retained the WCP Cup for the second season running!

Stephen Ware, John Ware and Matthew Reynolds from WCP were pleased to present the trophies to the match officials, runners-up Elburton Villa and WCP Cup winners Okehampton Argyle to mark the tenth season of consecutive sponsorship.

Congratulations to Okehampton Argyle!

"From the outset we had absolute confidence in the service provided for the funeral of our mother Joyce by Mr David Parslow and the WCP team at Newton Abbot. Our wishes and instructions were followed with attention to detail. It gave us comfort and peace of mind knowing that we would be able to honour our mum in a personal dignified way.
Even in torrential rain the funeral director paged the hearse and the bearers carried out their duties with professionalism, for which we are grateful.
Thank you for everything you have done for our family at this difficult time - making this significant event memorable for the right reasons."

"I would like to say a big thank you to Matthew and all the team at Crownhill for dealing with all the arrangements of my late brother Christopher's funeral. You have all been so helpful and nothing has been no trouble and in fact everything you have done have made things easier for me and I express my 100% gratitude. I would also like to thank the celebrant Vicki who has been so kind and helpful and made sure the service we discussed was as I wanted.

On the day of the funeral everything went to plan and both Matthew and Vicki supported me 100% and got me through the sad occasion. It was a sad day but the service was excellent and went to plan and I will always remember it.

Once more a big thank you to all of you. You have been very professional and helpful and I would highly recommend your services to any one.

Best Regards
Nicolas"

"Good morning Martyn and Karla,
Firstly a big Thankyou for the exemplary service that you provided us with yesterday and since my fathers passing.

Right from the initial moment I was welcomed into your office with a friendly face,a warm greeting and nice cuppa coffee, I knew that we were in safe hands.

The whole package your staff provided was carried out with experienced precision at every part of the funeral process,

I have to say that your attention to detail as a team was spot on and I am so humbled that I put my father into your care. You certainly did us proud!, And we cannot thank you enough.

Yesterday was a very smooth conclusion to my fathers passing and we felt very much at ease and looked after with true care and dedication during a very upsetting time in our lives.

Thankyou for everything ,

Kindest Regards
Andrew, Emma and Jonny"

Yesterday brought a physical game for both sides. Oaks ladies gave everything to take the win at home against Kingsbridge RFC Ladies.

Player of the match went to a very deserving Rhiannon Dumper who stormed through the defence to take the hat trick. Some great lines, awesome power play and an unstoppable force. Great work Rhi!

Last weekend we attended the Selected Independent Funeral Homes European Spring Meeting in Bologna, Italy.

The conference included a visit to Tanexpo Bologna, the Italian funeral exhibition, where we saw some new ideas and inspiration to improve the service we offer to bereaved families.

We were delighted to see our second BMW 7 Series hearse on display at the Biemme Special Cars stand. We look forward to bringing it back to the UK and into service soon.

"I can't recommend Walter C. Parson funeral directors enough. They helped with my grandads funeral many years ago, so when my mum recently passed, we went back, and they have been phenomenal. Matthew has been looking after us, and he's handled everything wonderfully. I feel like he went above and beyond, checking in with us regularly both before the service and during, ensuring everything was exactly as we wanted, remembering not only our names and details but everyone else involved too. It was never going to be an easy thing to go through, but Matthew and everyone we spoke to at WCP made it so much more manageable. THANK YOU"
