About The Owner
The company is run by James Showers, who trained in funeral service with the National Association of Funeral Directors, and 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 neverdiscussed 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 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, give comfort - and make new memories, and new life."
