W J Beswetherick and Son Ltd

W J Beswetherick & Son has been supporting Cornish families from Truro since 1959, and remains a family-run, independently owned business today. Operating from Central House on Fairmantle Street, the firm describes itself as "open, understanding, professional and respectful," and its coverage extends well beyond Truro itself to villages including Feock, Goonhavern, Perranporth, St Mawes, Probus, Tregony, Porthtowan, Portreath, Devoran, Chacewater, Tresillian, Mount Hawke, Threemilestone, Carnon Downs, Shortlanesend, St Agnes, St Newlyn East, Perranarworthal and Perranwell Station.

The team includes several named funeral arrangers and directors, including Simon Pennycook, who guide families through every step of the process. The firm is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and the British Institute of Funeral Directors, and is an FCA-regulated Golden Charter representative for pre-paid funeral plans. Services include a private chapel of rest for visiting loved ones, direct cremation, burial arrangements, help with funeral notices, administration of charitable donations, and repatriation for families further afield.

With over six decades of local experience and a 24-hour service line, the team aims to guide Truro and central Cornwall families with compassionate, unhurried support tailored to individual wishes.
