Hugh Mills & Gaye Funeral Directors was formed in 1805 by Hugh Mills, who was renowned for constructing many of Newton Abbot’s landmark churches and buildings, alongside his funeral directing business. In 2006, following careful consideration, the reins of the business were handed to Walter C. Parson, a family owned company with branches across South Devon, allowing Norman Williams to retire after 50 years at the helm. Opened in 2009 and situated in the centre of town, our purpose built office has been thoughtfully transformed to provide a dedicated service chapel for 50 people, with customer parking beside the building. Our Newton Abbot office serves Newton Abbot, Bovey Tracey, Teignmouth, Dawlish and the surrounding areas.
