Arranging a Funeral Remotely with Quantock Funeral Directors: Simple, Compassionate, and Convenient

At Quantock Funeral Directors, we understand that losing a loved one is an emotional and challenging time. Our priority is to offer support, guidance, and care as you make important decisions about funeral arrangements. Typically, this is done in-person, either at our office or in the comfort of your home. However, we recognise that in today’s world, families are not always local to the Taunton or Wellington area, and meeting face-to-face may not always be possible.

That’s why we offer flexible, remote funeral arrangements. Whether you’re away from Somerset or simply prefer handling things from a distance, we’re here to make the process as straightforward and stress-free as possible.

How Remote Funeral Arrangements Work

Organising a funeral from afar may seem daunting, but we’ve streamlined the process to ensure it’s as smooth as meeting us in person. With our remote services, you can still receive the same level of personal care and attention without the need to visit our Taunton office.

Here’s how it works:

1. Initial Contact

You can reach out to us by phone, email, or through our website to start the conversation. If you're in the Taunton or Wellington area, Rob and Dawn are just a phone call away. For those further afield, we’re happy to set up a meeting via WhatsApp video, Zoom, or even over the phone – whichever is easiest for you.

2. Discussing Your Wishes

During our call or virtual meeting, we’ll talk through your specific wishes, offering advice and support on every aspect of the funeral. From selecting a coffin to choosing flowers, music, and a suitable venue, we’re here to guide you. We’ll work together to create a fitting tribute for your loved one, tailored to your family’s needs. The celebrant will also be able to do this with you.

3. Paperwork and Legal Requirements

There are a few forms that will need to be completed as part of the funeral arrangements, but we’ve made this process simple too. We can email you the necessary documents, which you can sign electronically or print, sign, and send back to us by post or scan and email.

4. Ongoing Communication

Our team will remain available to answer any questions or concerns throughout the process. We’ll update you regularly to ensure that everything is progressing smoothly. No matter where you are, we’re committed to offering the same compassionate service as if you were here in person.
