Funeral director praised at awards

Honiton and Exeter funeral directors Shoobridge Funeral Services have been named a runner-up for the best small pre-paid funeral planner in the South West region at this year’s Funeral Planner of the Year Awards.

The event was orchestrated by Golden Charter.

Paul Shoobridge, CEO of Shoobridge Funeral Services, said, “This not only recognises the hard work our team has put in again this year, but endorses our absolute belief in a marketing process that can save the consumer money but is primarily designed to put the client in charge of his or her own future funeral, whilst giving their families and loved ones peace of mind at possibly the most difficult time they will experience in their lives.”

Malcolm Flanders, Golden Charter’s director of funeral director sales, said, “These highly competitive awards are now in their 24th year and, each year, the standard increases.

“Funeral plans continue to grow in popularity, and the awards are more competitive than ever before. As independent funeral directors continue to set extremely high standards of service in all areas of their work, this award for runner up is well-earned proof that Shoobridge Funeral Services is among the very best in the region.”

The Funeral Planner of the Year Awards focus on the achievements of independent funeral directors throughout the UK.
