Have you recently seen the BBC Documentary ‘Inside The Undertakers’?
It follows Stacey Dooley as she tackles the subject of death, by immersing herself in the world of undertaking at one of the UK's busiest family-run funeral businesses.
The documentary highlights one of our last taboos - death
“Death is a topic that’s openly discussed in many other cultures, even celebrated in some instances, yet I am so awkwardly British about the whole thing!”
We’d like to convey our support for opening this conversation and what happens after someone dies. We would also like to reassure and explain that there are significant differences between us at Turnbulls and what was shown in the documentary.
• We convey every person into our care individually, we would never convey 4 or 5 people at the same time as illustrated in the documentary.
• We always respectfully convey the coffin with 4 or more experienced pall bearers.
• We are compassionate, experienced and offer genuine support, choice and value and we do not 'production-line' our service as illustrated in the documentary. We understand that each person’s final wishes are unique, which is why we offer a wide variety of funeral services.
Our funeral directors offer a personal service and will take time to listen, advise, and guide you through all of the arrangements to plan a funeral that is appropriate for both you, your family and the person who has died.
Our family has a long proud history of serving the communities of North Shields, Tynemouth, Cullercoats, Whitley Bay, Wallsend and Newcastle upon Tyne since 1790. Our business is now managed by our seventh-generation family member Ben Broadhead.
