The attention to special little features and the respect David and staff showed my late mum ( Lil Rogers ) was wonderful. David made a difficult and upsetting time a lot easier. Thank you all for your very professional but personal service.

About Us

Originally established in 1921 Wedlake Funeral Home (Nick Jago and David Michael Funeral Directors) is a funeral directors in St Austell, Cornwall. From their modern funeral home in St Austell, they offer funeral services to all of Cornwall.

In 1921 Fitzroy Wedlake set up his funeral business in Higher Bugle, St Austell. It was later taken over by Mr Wedlake’s Son Geoff, who in turn handed the business over to his sons, Alan and Roderick. Alan looked after the funeral side of the business but sadly died young so his younger brother Roderick took over the business.

Nick Jago and David Michael have now been entrusted looking after the funeral home and attending to the funeral needs of the local community. They are both highly experienced and fully embedded in the local community, having both grown up and worked in the local area.

In 1989 the Purpose-built Chapel of Rest was built, and in 2018 the funeral home was completely refurbished to meet the needs of a modern funeral home. The home is fully equipped with a comfortable family arranging room and a peaceful chapel of rest, where you and your family can visit your loved one and say your final goodbyes.

Each funeral will be unique and meet the wishes of you, your loved one and your family. Nick and David are keen that a dignified funeral c​an also be an affordable one. They can arrange any type of service, from a traditional religious ceremony, to a modern celebration of life.

  • 5 Sarah Woods 7th Feb 2024

    Nick was very sympathetic, he came to our house and wasn’t pushy. He advised when necessary and gave recommendations (we took some but not all, due to locality). Kept in the loop at all times. One of the recommendations was his business partner David who was the celebrant which who again was very professional and making sure everything was exactly I wished to give dad the best send off he deserved. Nick and David took good care of dad and let me visit when I wanted, we can’t fault them. They go the extra mile to help you out and taking all the stress off at a bad time. Thank you again for everything you’ve done.

    David was a perfect funeral director from the first contact and made sure every detail was covered. I would recommend Wedlake to any potential clients who want someone to go the extra mile. Prices are very transparent and are comparable and competitive to most other companies in St Austell.

  • 5 Mandy Semmonds 14th Sep 2023

    I couldn’t recommend Nick and David enough, from the first telephone call, to the initial meeting, to dropping my fathers ashes off the day after the funeral. Nick and David were perfect, so caring and genuine with humour when appropriate. They were so respectful of our wishes, advising when asked but letting us make all our own decisions. 
    They made the hardest period of our lives a little easier and everything went perfectly. 
    Thank you so much Nick and David, you’ll never understand how much your service has meant to me and my family. 

  • 5 Elaine Harrington 26th Aug 2023

    A huge thank you to Nick and David for ensuring my fathers funeral was perfect, 3 years ago my mother passed away in the Covid period and Nick and David also gave us the same respectful and professional service. I cannot thank them enough for helping us through these very sad occasions. 

  • 5 Yvette Cracknell 23rd Aug 2023

    Both Nick and David were very efficient and professional whilst arranging the funeral of my late mother-in-law. Their handling of the funeral arrangements allowed ‘the day’ to pass smoothly.

    In particular, David’s reading of the eulogy and the Service was extremely appropriate to the occasion. Nick kept us totally informed at every stage leading up to the funeral.

    I would not hesitate to recommend them.

    Pete.

  • 5 Helen Church 3rd Aug 2023

    I just wanted to thank you Nick and David for arranging and carrying out Mums funeral yesterday. You have done both Dads and now mums and I can honestly say you took all of the stress and worry away from us at such an unbearable time (especially as Dad’s was during strict COVID restrictions) 
    A highly professional service carried out with respect, care and compassion for our parents final journey. We can’t thank you enough
