Where tradition matters

Bob and Pam moved to the island as children. Meeting when Bob had a retail business and Pam working in banking, they married in 1984. After working together for some years they eventually combined their various skills setting up in partnership in 1990 as R & P Everson Funeral Directors.

Pam is the first lady funeral director on the island giving the unique opportunity to those who prefer to have a woman conducting proceedings throughout.

In recent years their son, Bertie, has taken an active role during breaks from university and in between pursuing his great passion for acting.

At R & P Everson, Bob or Pam are always available, and with over fifty years experience and 4,000 funeral arrangements between them, you can be sure that all your needs will be met in a professional and friendly caring manner.
