At [R Davies, we are proud to be a Dignity Funeral Director. Our funeral business sits in the Dignity family which means we are supported by an organisation that provides stability and holds us to a very high standard of care, facilities and service.
From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.
A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.
Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.
From the moment we phoned to book an appointment, to after the funeral, all we can say as a family is that Rachel (and all at R Davies Bishopsworth) went above and beyond to make us feel cared for. Every little gesture and detail. Even follow ups with checking on us that we were doing ok. You never think of leaving a funeral director a review, but in this instance, it goes without saying. They weren’t just compassionate, understanding and professional throughout. They genuinely cared. And that meant so much to us. Rachel, we honestly couldn’t have made it through that journey without your support. For such a difficult job to have, you are a true credit to the service. I can only imagine the amount of comfort you have personally provided families like ours, such an empathetic, kind and genuine person. Thank you for caring for Mum for us. Thank you to R Davies, from all of us as a family!
The team at Gloucester Road were very helpful and professional in all dealings for my sister's funeral. They helped make a stressful situation a little more bearable.
From the first telephone conversation until the last handshake Shaun and his team at Westbury on Trym were polite, professional and efficient making the whole process easy and stress free. We first used this branch 15 years ago and the standard of service is still exceptional. We have also used the South Bristol branches and can honestly say we would highly recommend this company.
Shaun & the team at the Westbury Hill branch were all very kind, supportive, caring, and empathetic. We're all so grateful & so appreciative of everything that was done for our mum's celebration of life yesterday. Thank you all so so much.
Thank you R Davies staff (Whitchurch) and especially Latasha for your kindness, care and professionalism in making the arrangements for my father’s funeral, December 2025.
