Caring and Personalised Dressing of Your Loved One: A Compassionate Service from Quantock Funeral Directors in Taunton and Wellington

At Quantock Funeral Directors, a trusted, family-run funeral director in Taunton and Wellington, we understand that every detail of a funeral arrangement matters deeply during such a difficult time. One important aspect of preparing your loved one with dignity and respect is dressing them appropriately. As highly regarded funeral directors serving Taunton, Wellington, and the surrounding Somerset areas, we take great pride in offering this service with the utmost care and sensitivity.


Why We Always Dress the Deceased with Care

Regardless of whether your family chooses to spend time with your loved one in our peaceful Chapel of Rest or not, we always ensure they are dressed thoughtfully and respectfully. This is a standard part of our compassionate care at Quantock Funeral Directors. Dressing the deceased helps maintain their dignity and provides comfort to families, knowing their loved one is presented just as they would have wished.

If your family does not have suitable clothing available, we can provide one of our own dignified gowns at no extra cost. These gowns are designed specifically for this purpose, ensuring comfort and modesty while allowing your loved one to rest peacefully.


Personalising the Choice of Clothing

We believe that the clothing chosen should reflect the unique personality and life of your loved one. Whether it's a formal suit for someone who always dressed smartly, or casual favourites like shorts and a t-shirt for those who preferred a relaxed style, we are here to accommodate your wishes.


Many families in Taunton and Wellington tell us how meaningful it is to see their loved one in an outfit that brings back fond memories – perhaps their favourite jersey supporting Somerset County Cricket Club, a beloved dress from special occasions, or comfortable everyday wear. This personal touch helps celebrate their life authentically and provides solace during viewings in the Chapel of Rest.


Our experienced team handles this process gently and professionally, ensuring everything is done with respect. We can also advise on practical considerations, such as suitable fabrics, while honouring cultural or religious preferences.
