About Us

For more than nine decades Walter H. Squires & Son has been a name synonymous with dignity and pride in the profession of Funeral Directing. Founded in Tiverton in 1933 by Walter H. Squires, a local wheelwright, Walter H. Squires & Son has become one of Devon's most respected Funeral Directors. Still owned and run by its founding family, Walter H.

The company is now in the hands of the third generation of the Squires family, Ryan and Melanie Squires, and between the three generations there are 145 years of experience in the profession of Funeral Directing. All of our funeral staff are full-time and fully trained by the Independent Funeral Directors College, and with most members of staff holding Induction Certificates and Funeral Operative Certificates, Walter H.
