H Tredwin & Son is now in its fifth generation run by Nick Tredwin and his wife Louise who provide a personal service with the emphasis on family values.
Kitty and Timmy Tredwin, now work alongside them in the business. Timmy working with Nick behind the scenes and Kitty assisting Louise in the office. Not forgetting their eldest son Harry who helps out from time to time but formally works as a carpenter.
They, like Nick, have grown up knowing the importance of the work the family do. Nick’s father, Francis, taught him the trade and they worked together for many years before Francis passed away in 2006.

From our family, to yours …
No description could suit us better than that of a true family business. From our family to yours, we will care for your loved one with the utmost respect and dignity — exactly as we would wish for ourselves.
You will likely speak with mother-and-daughter duo Louise and Kitty Tredwin, who will guide you through the process of arranging a funeral that reflects your loved one’s personality, values, and wishes. Meanwhile, father-and-son team Nick and Timmy Tredwin will respectfully care for your loved one behind the scenes — from bringing them into our care to driving them to their final resting place.
We must also acknowledge our small team of loyal, trusted colleagues — Derek, Lorraine, and Stephen — each of whom has worked with us for over ten years. We are incredibly fortunate to have them. A special mention goes to Derek Ridgeway, who has been part of the business since the days when Francis Tredwin was running it. We truly couldn’t do without him; Derek is there to collect your loved one, drive the hearse, bear, and assist in any way he can.

Our family and predecessors ...
Funeral directing runs through the Tredwin blood.
While Nick and Louise have over 50 years in the industry between them, you can imagine how caring for the bereaved and tending to the deceased is second nature to every generation of the Tredwins.

Francis Tredwin
Since Francis passed away, Nick and Louise have been working hard to continue but also grow the well respected business Francis worked hard to uphold.
Taking it from the small village of Sampford Arundel and bringing it to the town of Wellington (just a few miles up the road) where the business has continued to flourish and where Nick completed his formal training with the NAFD (National Association of Funeral Directors).
Sampford Arundel
Sampford Arundel is the village where H Tredwin & Son first came to be. As with many rural villages, there was often one or two families that populated the one small village. With each family being designated a job to do, one branch of the Tredwins ran the post office, another worked on the farm and our particular line of Tredwins were builders but also the village undertakers.
Today the village is still a big part of our personal and professional life with family members and friends still living there.
We still have our Chapel of Rest at the original premises in Sampford as well as our workshops where we build the solid oak coffins.
Sampford Arundel runs through the business and will always be a part of H Tredwin & Son Ltd.
