Independent Funeral Directors – Why We’re Different
We pride ourselves on our independence. While many originally family-owned businesses in Cornwall are now owned by much larger umbrella companies, we’ve kept ours independent. This means, you’re not dealing with group policies and businesses that might charge additional fees on top of your quote, but instead you’ll have a transparent service with clear quotes and no hidden extras. Additionally, when you choose David Hendy Funeral Services, you’re choosing a local Cornish family, who genuinely want to help their community and the people in it.
Your loved ones are in safe hands; David Hendy Funeral and Sons Services is a member of the National Federation of Funeral Directors, and SAIF – Independent Funeral Directors.
Prepaid Plans for your Funeral Arrangements
Some people want to plan ahead, to alleviate some of the stress and worry from their loved ones.
If you’re considering a pre-paid funeral plan, we offer a selection of options where you can decide the details so your family don’t have to. If you’d like to find out more, you can call and have a chat with one of our family team members, or visit one of our David Hendy Funeral Services offices in Camborne or Hayle.

Peaceful Premises
Our founders, David and Jean, converted a former blacksmith’s workshop in Camborne themselves, to be the modern funeral home it is today. They chose every aspect of our design and worked tirelessly to create their vision, so our customers would feel welcome and accommodated when they needed to visit. We want to cater for everyone, so we’ve made sure we have accessibility for all. We also have a private chapel of rest, an arranging room, and office.
Sandra Callingham-Lello2024-04-29A very professional and empathetic service provided from the first phone call. Always kept informed of the procedures/process/timings etc. throughout. Such a willingness to make the experience tailor made and personal - nothing appeared to be too much trouble , just ask and if it was at all possible it would happen. The quality of flowers , order of service etc was excellent. This is a three generational family run business and my family have engaged their services exclusively for three generations - highly recommend.
Ken Walker2024-04-23Our family cannot thank Caleb and the Team from David Hendy & Son Funeral Directors enough for all their efforts in ensuring the funeral of our beloved Sarah went smoothly and effortlessly. Their kindness, compassion, respect, patience and understanding throughout the organising of the funeral and on the day, ensured the family had the time to remember and grieve and say our goodbye's. We have no reservation in highly recommending their services. Thanks again for all your help and support during this difficult time. Ken & Family.
Miriam Hill2024-04-08David Hendy Funeral Services provided us with a very professional, kind, and empathetic service. Our dad left us quite suddenly and the funeral directors were so fast and efficient to help us through this very difficult time. They organised a beautiful and intimate funeral for dad and we are so grateful for they wonderful assistance.
Alison McCabe2024-03-16A big thankyou to Caleb for organising my mum's funeral. He was very approachable, nothing was ever too much trouble and very supportive during an emotional time. David Hendy & Sons helped us through the whole process with compassion and kindness. They are a wonderful team and Caleb is a real asset to the family run business. I would highly recommend them.
Paul Law2024-03-13We are so grateful to Caleb for looking after all of the arrangements for my sister's funeral in such a caring and professional manner. In the run-up to the funeral, Caleb was able to answer all of our questions and arrange everything in just the way we wanted. We are particularly grateful that Caleb was able to secure a burial plot in the Churchyard at Illogan for my sister. On the day of the funeral, we were in totally safe hands throughout. Everything was managed professionally and thoughtfully and the driver of the limo was particularly helpful. We have no hesitation in recommending this family-run firm to those who need the services of a Funeral Director in West Cornwall.
Stephanie Poultney2023-11-01At the most difficult time for us as a family, David Hendy and Sons really helped us through it with compassion. Caleb from our first meeting was empathic and understanding and guided us through everything seamlessly. Our Thanksgiving Service was beautiful and nothing was too much trouble for Caleb. I did not have to worry about anything it took the pressure off us. We really did feel so supported. Our visits to the chapel of rest were so peaceful, always felt welcomed with warm compassion. I would definitely recommend David Hendy and Sons - a lovely family run business Thankyou
James Polkinghorne2023-09-28At a very dark time for my family, Hendy's were there with an unrivalled level of professionalism and compassion. We received a first class service every step of the way and perhaps the biggest compliment I can pay is that we will not be looking anywhere else in the future as there is no-one I would trust more to guide us through losing a loved one.
Sally Harding2023-09-26What a wonderful team they are at David Hendy. My dealings were with Caleb who is a credit to the business and profession. He was so kind, generous and thoughtful in all of my dealings with him, nothing was too much trouble. Messages or emails were always replied to quickly. Everything went as it should thanks to the work put in by Caleb and his team. Never having arranged a funeral before, I must have asked a multitude of questions but every one was answered with patience and compassion. Help was always offered, even with things they weren’t organising for us such as the flowers. They did organise the Orders of Service and Book of Condolence both of which I was very happy with and it made it so much easier and less stressful being able to do it through them. They couldn’t have done any more to ease the strain of what was inherently a very emotional and sad time. Thank you Caleb and David Hendy’s.
Jacklyn Fisher2023-08-25We will never be able to thank Caleb and everyone at David Hendy Funeral Services enough for the support given during the sad loss of Dorothy Fisher. The kindness, thoughtfulness, advice, before, during and following the funeral service was given with compassion,dignity, respect and professionalism. Thank you so much for looking after Dorothy, we will never forget your kindness.
Carol Penberthy2023-07-31Caleb organised my Mother's funeral impeccably. Our initial visit with him to make arrangements was as pleasure in the circumstances and he kept me up to date with the arrangements all the way through. The service itself was faultless and he went to great lengths to provide personal touches that we hadn't thought about. He made a very sad event one with very pleasant memories for all those who attended.
