Welcome to B. Gibbs Funeral Services Ltd.
An Independent family Family Funeral Service, providing support, care and guidance to families in Chard, Ilminster and the surrounding areas, throughout Somerset and beyond.
In 2011, Barry and Claire opened the doors of B. Gibbs Funeral Services to the community of Chard, caring for families in and around local area at their time of need. We are proud to be an independent family run Funeral Directors, offering a range of traditional, woodland and bespoke funerals.
Situated in Fore Street, our Chard office has all the facilities needed to care for your loved one, ensuring professional care to those we are privileged to look after and offering a 24-hour personal service. Being born and raised in Chard, Barry is well known in the area, from his days of being a postman. He understands the local area and the needs of the local communities within. Barry is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and holds the NAFD Diploma in Funeral Directing, giving families the peace of mind that their arrangements are carried out to the highest standard by the only qualified funeral director who both lives and works in Chard. |

Although Claire played an active role in the setting up and day to day running of the company, she only joined full time in 2015 after retiring from her role as a District Nurse working in and around the community of Chard, Ilminster and South Petherton. Having Claire in the office full time, ensures continuity for our families at their time of need. Claire is on the executive committee of the Western Counties branch of the NAFD.
In 2018, Barry and Claire were joined by Jason, a Funeral Director who grew up in Wellington and has many years of experience in the funeral profession, gaining Funeral Practitioner status from the IFD. Jason is now currently studying for his Diploma in Funeral Directing.
With increasing numbers of families in Ilminster and the surrounding villages using our services, it seemed only natural to open a funeral home in Ilminster. Giving the community peace of mind that their loved one will be cared for locally.
In 2019, after an extensive refurbishment, our office at 25 Silver Street, Ilminster opened its doors. Situated directly opposite the beautiful Minster Church, we have a welcoming reception area, a private arrangement room and a Chapel of Rest with full facilities to care for your loved one.
Barry, Claire and Jason are always on hand for advice, be it to arrange a funeral, provide details of our pre-paid funeral plans or just answer a question to put your mind at rest. Those arrangements can be made in the comfort of your own home, or at one of our offices.
A funeral service should reflect the life of the person who has passed away and therefore be carefully planned and tailored to your individual requirements. Whether it is to be a simple funeral service or something more elaborate, we can provide you with the guidance and support to make this special occasion as unique as the person who has passed away.
