About the owner
The company is run by James Showers, who trained in funeral service with the National Association of Funeral Directors, and who has worked with Swindon and Gloucester Co-operative Funeral Care.
In his own words, James explains one of the reasons why Family Tree Funeral Company operates the way it does, with your requirements at heart:
" My own father died after a long illness; as a family we'd never discussed or planned for the inevitable over the previous months - so when he did die, nobody knew what to do or what to say. My mother was in shock, and the duty minister at the crematorium near the hospital was given minimal information to go on. It was a very brief funeral - more of a disposal really; we sat separated by a deep and silent disappointment after the curtains closed; we had a memorial service in our local church a month later, but I felt that my father's actual funeral was just not good enough for us - or for my lovely dad. I now know it does not need to be like this...that there is such a thing as a 'good funeral'...and if the funeral is in line with what the family really want - it becomes an uplifting tribute to the life of the person who has died, it can embody the sadness, make new memories, give comfort - and new life."
Please contact us on 01453 767769 or email us using this link to discuss any funeral assistance that you may need, or with any questions that you may have. We are here to help you.
"I must say that I was extremely impressed how when Poppy the little infant finally
was taken out of the chapel you made the whole situation 'inclusive' by gently referring
to it in a positive, and kind manner ... well done! Most people would have just breathed
a sigh of relief. We all did!I have studied and worked for many years in war zones
negotiating cease fires and crossing the front lines .... so I know that you are
good. However when it comes to my own siblings, very interestingly it is a different
matter." C.B. Stow on the Wold.
