I recently had cause to have need of a Funeral Director after the passing of an elderly relative. I returned to well tried and tested services of Stockman and Loram, Funeral Directors. They have given excellent service to my family and friends on many earlier occasions. I had no reservations about seeking similar service for my aunt. Vanessa Loram at the Brixham office was my lead contact and gave exceptional care and support throughout. Within hours of my aunts passing Vanessa provided clear, concise and reassuring advice. A full spectrum of services was offered including advice on arranging a Committal Service location, finding the right officiating minister and an appropriate location for post service refreshments. On the day itself, Vanessa personally supervised arrangements for the Committal Service at Stockman & Loram private Chapel of Service. My family’s total satisfaction with how the day was conducted was also endorsed by all the guests in attendance. Thanks once again to Vanessa and all staff members at Stockman & Loram for professionalism, empathy, and impeccable service.
Can’t thank Dom and his team enough for their professionalism and incredible work ethic with a recent funeral we had. They have helped a few generations of our family, and every single time they have gone above and beyond for us.
Dom worked all hours to accommodate us, was always kind, polite, respectful and helpful.
Please do not think twice about using Stockman & Loram, you couldn’t make a better choice during such a difficult time.
Dom - you won’t recognise the name, but my mum really appreciated the micky cards.
I have no hesitation in recommending Stockman & Loram's funeral service.
My family and I were impressed throughout with the level of compassion they showed, their attention to detail and their general professionalism as they guided us through what was for us an unfamiliar process.
I should add that our favourable experience was not only as a result of the facilities and information provided by the company but, at a personal level, by Rob Hunt's empathetic and reassuring manner.

My siblings and I met Vanessa shortly after our father died and immediately she removed a lot of stress by clearly and sympathetically describing how Stockman and Loram would guide us through the arrangements and help us to ensure we gave him the best send off we could have imagined. The whole process was smooth and supportive and I am personally very grateful for the personal service provided by Vanessa, and for the dignified and professional service delivered on the day. Thank you all.
Kim and staff were friendly, polite and efficient, making a sad and worrying experience so much easier to cope with. Excellent communication and support throughout. Thank you
