Our Yellow Butterfly

Our logo contains a yellow butterfly – beautifully drawn by local artist Emma Haines – which is at the centre of our ethos.

As a metaphor for the soul’s spiritual journey, butterflies teach us to enjoy the present moment and make the most of our time here on Earth. They also remind us that death is just another transformation—we will just spread our wings and fly in another dimension.

We are lucky to have such a wonderful
team helping our company to grow.

Testimonials

Our valued customers speak for us

Just wanted to say thank you to Terri & Lynsey for their professionalism with the funeral of my mum. Nothing was too much for them and any requests were undertaken. I would especially like to thank Lynsey and her fellow undertakers for everything they did on the day of the funeral the service and dedication to my mum was faultless. Would highly recommend them.

R and J HinesBideford

I honestly don’t know how I would have coped without the kindness, courtesy, professionalism and patience of the wonderful team at A.D Williams. Their tender understanding, their outstanding “above and beyond” service, and the support they have given has been astonishing, I have felt like another family have been comforting me, all the while assisting with every detail of our mum’s service, and all from the other side of the planet in Sydney, Australia. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to each and everyone of you for helping me on an extremely difficult journey.
