The subject freehold and leasehold premises occupy ideal and very convenient trading positions in a vibrant and prosperous town situated with excellent access to major road links in the historic county of Cornwall.

Operating from extremely well fitted freehold Chapel of Rest and office premises, this very long established and highly regarded member of the National Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors currently specialises in the provision of a virtually 'one stop' range of bespoke and, dignified, denominational and non-denominational burial and cremation funeral arrangements to suit all budgets, with easy term payment plans available.

Regionally renowned for its professionalism and quality of stress-free service, the business also offers a wide selection of ancillary services including transport, floral tributes, monumental masonry, "Order of Service" printing and repatriation etc., for a very long established and still-expanding referral client base drawn from throughout a wide surrounding catchment area.

The business also conducts its operations from its equally well fitted town centre sister leasehold reception and office premises and would naturally furnish any enthusiastic purchaser with considerable scope for continued growth in a service sector of consistent high demand, not least with regard to possible investment in additional premises throughout Cornwall and beyond in order fully exploit year-round regional demand.

The business wold also benefit by adopting a more vigorous marketing policy of its excellent existing services, both through its own informative dedicated website and to the development of a social media presence, in order to improve upon the already impressive levels of fee income it has achieved in the course of some fifteen highly successful years' trading in the hands of the current family proprietors who have laid the most solid of commercial foundations for any new owner.

Alternatively, this versatile proposition would most certainly appeal to some similar-sized or larger allied enterprise looking to very significantly increase its existing share of the funeral services market by the acquisition of a dynamic and extremely well located additional independent operator with a priceless local name and an impressive volume of future plans already established.

The business is run on a day-to-day basis on a 24-hour call-out basis by the two current family proprietors, with the aid only of an experienced and motivated team of specialist assistants employed on an ad hoc basis dependent upon the requirements of any individual funeral, and we would strongly urge any genuine interested parties to pursue the earliest possible enquiries to avoid disappointment.
