R Millard & Son was founded in 1985 by Andrew and Shirley Holley with the help of Bob Millard who provided support to them both. The name derived from Andrew’s step father Bob, a well known and respected local character.
Our family has been helping families in Burnham-on-Sea and Highbridge since then. We know the area, the churches, the crematorium, the people. When someone you love passes, you shouldn’t have to navigate it alone.
We’ll guide you through everything — the paperwork, the choices, the details — at your pace, in your own time. That’s what we’ve always done.
