R J Bray & Son Funeral Directors

R J Bray & Son Funeral Directors Your local, independent family funeral directors for North Cornwall, R. J. Although we are locally owned, we are not limited in the service we provide.

Bray & Son, owned and run by the Bray family, provide a personal, dignified service, guiding you through all the necessary arrangements, to ensure all your wishes are carried out. We believe we offer the most complete service in our area, from helping you plan your own funeral and set up a fully guaranteed funeral plan, right through to offering a free Bereavement Support Group. We offer a full range of funerals, from simple cremations, (often referred to as Direct Cremations, which are low cost funerals, with no mourners attending) through to a complete funeral service, with many different options in between, all carried out at the highest standards. Through our membership of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) we can assist your family in the event of your loved one passing away, either anywhere in the UK, or even further afield. As members of both NAFD and SAIF, we can ensure you receive the standards you expect and deserve. We follow the profession's leading Code of Practice, and we are regularly inspected. As well as holding the diploma in funeral directing, David Bray is also a member of the British Institute of Funeral Directors.

It’s always lovely to hear the church bells being rung, but the maintenance of the old towers is ongoing, and they definitely seem to have suffered more latterly from the rain we’ve been having.
So, we were delighted, over the past few months to give donations from our charitable fund to both the St Tudy and St Mabyn towers, to help with their ongoing repairs.
I know that both towers would be grateful for any help from other individuals and organisations. If you need any contact details, please get in touch with us, and we can share their details.
