There are no words to explain how caring, compassionate and professional all the team are. Nothing is too much trouble , they make such a difficult time easier to bear. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to anyone.

About Us

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.

    Nick and David at Wedlake Funeral Home were amazing looking after my husband David,from bringing him all the way back from Wales to looking after him in a most professional manner at the Funeral Home. Nothing was too much trouble, taking care arranging the Funeral service and looking after myself and the family on the day. Thank you to you both for making this difficult time so much easier for us all. Highly recommend Wedlake Funeral Home

    I would highly recommend Wedlake Funeral Home. Their friendly service and help with arrangements was exceptional. Nothing was too much trouble.

  • 5 John O'Rawe 15th Sep 2021

    Nick was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. There was a very long delay due to the covid restrictions between my mothers funeral and us actually being able to travel to collect her ashes. Nick was accommodating, sincere and always available - a true gent! A highly professional company. Thank you. 

  • 5 Sharon Spry 10th Jul 2021

    Thank you so much for the professional and compassionate manner in which our recent bereavement was managed. At this most difficult time it was comforting to be in such caring and reassuring hands throughout the whole process

  • 5 Lorna Williams 30th Jun 2021

    Nick, David and the team served my mum with the utmost care, dignity and respect.  My sisters and I were guided through the most distressing and emotional of times by their kindness, compassion, humour and consummate professionalism. I wholeheartedly recommend their service.

    (Thank you so much for everything you did.)    

  • 5 Marie Gregory 29th Jun 2021

  • 5 Derek Jackson 4th Jun 2021

    Everything was catered for. It was planned really well and I was particularly impressed by the donations feature on their web site. It made donating to causes so much easier. I would highly recommend Wedlake both for quality of service and cost. 

  • 5 Annette Rook 3rd Jun 2021

    It’s something we all dread having to deal with but David and Nick, together with their Team, made sure Mum’s send off was dealt with much compassion and professionalism. Easy to speak to and very accommodating, David guided me through the process, whilst putting me at ease. I also
    wanted to use a local firm close to where Mum was brought up, married and laid to rest. Thoroughly recommend these Directors. Many thanks to you all.

  • 5 Graham Allen 2nd Jun 2021

    Both Nick and David were superb throughout the entire proceedings. Mum couldn’t have asked for a better send off.

  • 5 Maurice Richards 31st May 2021

  • 5 Wendy Vincent 21st May 2021

    Thank you to David, Nick and their team for the compassionate and meaningful way they conducted Dad’s funeral.  Their professional service and caring manner was second to none.  Dad was a true proud Cornishman who will always be our hero and thanks to David for taking Dad on his final journey to Treverbyn in his tartan kilt.

  • 5 Elizabeth Dunstan 21st May 2021

    Friendly service, made us all feel very comfortable making the arrangements.
    Would definitely recommend to others.

  • 5 Martin Roseby 21st May 2021

    The service we received was excellent, everything we needed was done to a very high standard, pleasant to deal with,caring and considerate.

  • 5 Ruth Sawyer 20th May 2021

    Couldn't have asked for a better service at such a difficult time.

  • 4 Ema Cavalier-Smith 20th May 2021

    My family and I are very pleased with and grateful for the care, understanding and attention provided by your service during this profoundly difficult time in our lives.

    I never felt rushed by David during the whole process of preparing for my late husband's funeral service and yet every aspect came together in a timely fashion for the crucial day.

    My only dissatisfaction was the permanent cross on the front panel of the lectern because my husband was a lifelong humanist and the cross therefore would doubtlessly have detracted from the non-religious service beautifully conducted by our humanist celebrant.
