Dressing and Viewing Options for the Deceased at Quantock Funeral Directors

At Quantock Funeral Directors, we understand that the way a loved one is remembered and farewelled is a deeply personal experience. This is why we offer a range of compassionate and respectful options for dressing and viewing the deceased, ensuring your loved one is treated with the utmost dignity and care.


Personalised Dressing Services


Regardless of whether the deceased is being viewed or not, we take great care in preparing and dressing them in their own clothes. This personal touch can bring a sense of comfort and familiarity during a difficult time. We believe that every individual should be honoured in a manner that reflects their life and personality. If specific attire is preferred, such as a favourite outfit or something with sentimental value, Dawn, Rob and the team will ensure that these wishes are fulfilled.


Private Viewing in Our Chapel of Rest


For families and friends wishing to spend a final moment with their loved one, our private chapel of rest offers a serene and dignified environment. Here, you can find solace and reflect in peace, surrounded by the memories of the person you cherished.


Open or Closed Coffin Viewing


We provide flexible options for viewing, recognising that each family has different preferences and needs:


1. Open Coffin Viewing: This allows for a personal and direct farewell, where families and friends can see and touch their loved one, helping to bring a sense of closure.


2. Closed Coffin Viewing: For those who prefer not to see the deceased or if nature has started to take its course, sitting with a closed coffin is a respectful alternative. You can still spend meaningful time with your loved one, sharing stories and memories, without the need for a visual goodbye.


Respect and Dignity


Our team at Quantock Funeral Directors is dedicated to providing services that honour the deceased while supporting the bereaved. We ensure that every aspect of our preparation and viewing services is handled with the highest respect and dignity.
