We are proud to run a truly independent family business.

When you need us, our family is here for your family.

It is our privilege to offer all who suffer bereavement funeral services from traditional to modern, simple to the more extensive.

We pride ourselves on providing the very best care and funeral service, fulfilling the wishes of all whilst meeting each individual’s needs in their beliefs.

We promise to always provide the peace of mind that the assistance of either Laura or Andrew and their experience can bring. Either one of us are always on hand, usually in person, on site and on the telephone 24 hours a day. We will personally see you through from your initial contact with us, regardless of the hour, to the day of the funeral and beyond. We believe that personal continuity with both of us eases a difficult process. We hope that we can bring comfort and reassurance throughout. We ensure that all members of our trusted family team believe in the same ethic.

Our aim is to make each funeral personal, unique and representative of both the loved one lost and those making the funeral arrangements. Full support and advice will be given along each step.

We believe in maintaining the highest levels of service in all areas of our business. From caring for the deceased, to assisting and advising the bereaved with all due care and sensitivity. We understand that a funeral holds a special place in the memory and so we pay careful attention to every detail and request, to create a special day for those lost and those who mourn.

We operate a 24 hour, 365 days of the year service from our home in Newquay and cover all of Cornwall.

Supporting families from Newquay and beyond for over 40 years

  • I would like to thank Laura and her family for their professionalism and dedication organising my Mothers funeral. From start to finish Laura guided me through the system with compassion and kindness,helping find the perfect celebrant and florist making Mums service a happy one just perfect for her.

  • Having attended a funeral that had been managed by Laura I chose her and Henwoods to take care of my beloved hubby. From the day he died until the day she brought his ashes back to me her care, attention and support were just what I and the family needed. She took great care of him and great care of me ensuring that the funeral was as beautiful as I could have wished. Her advice and input went above and beyond what I could have expected and I felt like we were the only funeral she was dealing with (when that was obviously not the case) responding to my random thoughts, texts and emails with compassion Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • Excellent service from the initial phone call to my the final collection of the ashes. We couldn't have received better care and attention.

    Nothing was too much trouble. Laura was so professional, understanding and sensitive to my needs. Very quick to respond to any messages/e-mails. The job comes with huge responsibilities but she managed everything so well. 

    I would most certainly recommend Henwood funerals.

  • My partner's funeral was scheduled for Friday 18th February 2022. The day storm Eunice hit. It got cancelled 1½hrs before it was due to start.

    Laura Henwood went above & beyond the call of duty to make sure the funeral went ahead, albeit at another crematorium, because people had traveled from all over the country to be here.

    Throughout my whole dealing with the Henwood family they have shown the utmost in professionalism, treated us with respect & compassion & been absolutely fantastic. Laura even sat with my 15yr old daughter & designed the coffin to her exact specifications.

    I would definitely recommend these lovely people as they are total professionals & treat every client with the same caring, special touch.

    Thank you so much for making Michelle's final journey one we could all remember fondly.

    Many thanks the Elford & Burton families

  • Never having arranged a funeral before, I had no idea where to start except get a Funeral Director. In finding Laura Henwood I hit gold. Laura makes arranging a funeral effortless, which is so appreciated at such a difficult time. From the first meeting where she explained how the system worked and asked us what we wanted, we knew we were in good hands. She is thorough, efficient and patient when you are not sure of the answer to questions and you need to reflect. She guided us beautifully through the whole process, helping us get the minister we wanted, sort the flowers, find the music, produce the order of service and she was always on hand with good practical advice. Thank you Laura, for making a difficult time so much easier and helping us give Dad a funeral he would have enjoyed.

  • Laura was absolutely brilliant every step of the way, always friendly and responsive to messages. She helped me sort out everything remotely with no problems. The day went extremely smoothly. The staff were smart, respectful and always clear about what was happening. Thank you very much from all of our family.

  • Many thanks to Laura and Andrew for the professional funeral and burial arrangements made for another of our family funerals. With everything being arranged in an efficient manner and without any of the bureaucracy associated with the larger national firms made our experience with your family business very good. Well done again.

    Thanks NJH

  • Laura and the team took great care of my Dad during such a difficult time for myself and my family. She was always at the end of the phone to answer my questions or concerns. Everything was made extremely personal and she took care of it all so we didn't have to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura, Mike and Alex

  • Laura and the team recently took great care of my mum. Throughout the entire process the professionalism and care we received was all I could have asked for. Helpful, accommodating and above all else caring, I would not hesitate to recommend Laura and her team’s services.
