G F Gubbin Funeral Directors (part of Denise Wellington Funeral Services)

G F Gubbin Funeral Directors is an independent, family-owned funeral home that has served Launceston since 1963, and now operates as part of the Denise Wellington Funeral Services group (registered at Companies House, company number 9307446), which also runs a sister branch in Bude on Cornwall's border with Devon. The two locations, Penlaurel in Launceston and Thornelea in Bude, allow the firm to cover North Cornwall and the surrounding Devon border area while retaining a close, family-run feel at each branch.

The team, which includes Harry and Jo, arranges traditional funerals, burials, cremations, direct cremation and celebration-of-life events, and offers prepaid funeral plans alongside a dedicated coffins range and memorial options. The firm maintains its own fleet of Jaguar hearses and limousines and provides a private chapel of rest for family viewings, with staff on hand 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including assistance with funeral costs when needed.

The practice holds membership of the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF) and SAIF Care, and participates in the Dementia Friends scheme. It describes caring for local families as a privilege, and testimonials highlight the personalised, empathetic support the team provides throughout the arrangement process and beyond.
