Taylor and Wallis

Taylor and Wallis has served the Fareham and Portchester area for over 200 years, passed down through generations of the same family and remaining independent throughout. Based on West Street in Portchester, the team offers a full range of options from simple and direct cremations to bespoke, themed and traditional services, with coffin choices spanning veneered, solid wood, eco-friendly and bespoke designs, and covers Portchester, Fareham, Paulsgrove, Cosham and the wider Portsmouth area.

Transport options include Mercedes hearses and limousines as well as horse-drawn and motorcycle hearses for families wanting something different. The business also arranges pre-paid funeral plans, catering, floral tributes, orders of service and monumental masonry, alongside ongoing bereavement support, with an emphasis on personalising each funeral so that, in the firm's words, no two are ever quite the same. A 24-hour contact line backs up their office hours, so families can reach someone whenever they need to.
