In 2003, David Pidgen entrusted his business to Walter C. Parson, a family run company originating from Stoke Climsland, Cornwall.  Pidgen & Son is now run by our team of local, qualified funeral directors, headed by David Fowell.

Our office has been recently refurbished and is situated in the shadow of Penntorr Health Centre, just off the main Trevol Road, near HMS Raleigh, in a country setting with ample parking facilities.

At our Torpoint office we offer local direct cremation, competitively priced simple funerals and completely personalised traditional funeral services. Fully guaranteed pre-paid funeral plans are also available.

On behalf of our family, a heartfelt thank you to Pidgen & Son Funeral Services in Torpoint for all their help and support when my father passed away. They not only supported us every step of the way with compassion, but gave us a very professional service throughout, while remaining discreet. Dad worked for Pidgen & Son during part of his retirement and I know he was always very proud to be part of such an excellent team.

I am enormously thankful to the Torpoint team of Pidgen and son. At the worst time of my life, when my husband passed away, they were incredibly reassuring, professional, caring, compassionate, helpful and kind. Their advice and attention to detail were superb and the funeral they arranged for us was very meaningful and respectful. Ayesha and Graham and their colleagues were wonderful. Thank you.

As a family we cannot thank Pidgen and Son for how kind, professional and patient they have been with us all. They listened to our wishes and provided the most outstanding service. At a time when you may not be thinking straight every member of staff we’ve dealt with have given us their time in a such a personal way. Thank you so much for everything.

We cannot thank everyone at Pidgens enough but especially David, Graham and Alesha, for the care and attention they gave during a very difficult time. The lengths and effort they went too was incredible and made the whole process so much easier to deal with. Thank you once again.

I cannot speak more highly of the Torpoint team enough. They were absolutely incredible. Matt and Graham were superb. Every step of the way they were there and the actual day the whole team made the day so special and easier for us. Thank you.

David Fowell recently helped with the funeral arrangements for my father-in-law. He kept us fully updated with everything. Nothing was too much trouble. He showed us such kindness and his manner is brilliant. All his team were great. I've dealt with other funeral directors before who were "all doom and gloom" but David was a breath of fresh air and helped us to celebrate my father-in-law's life. He's an absolute asset to your company.

If you want a funeral service with that personal touch, look no further. Faultless. Thanks to Pidgeon and Son Funeral Service

Sadly my mother passed away in hospital just before Christmas 2017. Pidgen and Son Funeral Service worked with my brother to provide a well executed and thoughtful day, of which my mother would have been proud, including both church service and cremation. I found their staff both courteous and thoughtful . Their management of the whole ceremony was marvellous, helping all family members to get through what would otherwise have been a very stressful time. Thanks so much for all your help.
