Rachel is local to Bristol and lives in Shirehampton. She started work in the
Funeral Profession training as an Embalmer with the Midland School of
Embalming in 2001.
Rachel was then offered a job with a large Funeral Directors in Bristol as a
Funeral Arranger, this was a position that Rachel enjoyed tremendously. The
training skills she received were fantastic and subsequently helped prepare
her for the running of Bristol South Funeral Services which she jointly
owns with her business partner Liz Davis.
Rachel is a 'people person', she is very caring and loving and has a totally
unique approach when it comes to dealing with the bereaved. She treats each
family individually giving them the time and care that they need- this is
something that is not always possible when working for larger companies.
Liz was born in Bath but lives near Minehead Somerset. She trained as an
Embalmer in 2000 with the Midland School of Embalming which was tutored by
John Davis. Previously Liz ran her own Hairdressing Business in Minehead
Somerset.
She won the George Wood Cup for her Embalming skills in 2002.
Liz later married John who ran the school in June 2004 and they worked
together teaching in Nottingham, Walsall, Bristol & Glasgow. John taught the
theory whilst Liz helped the students in the mortuary with their practical
work.
John was the European Representative for the Fountain National Academy,
running advanced embalming courses with Vernie Fountain in Springfield
Missouri USA.
John was diagnosed with cancer in April 2005 and died in the June of that
year. He was a wonderful man, a brilliant tutor, a loving father and a
special husband.
John had always talked about having his own funeral business and how the
Funeral Industry should be run if given the chance.
We all often discussed how lovely it would be to deal with the families and
the deceased on a far more personal level. Rachel and Liz had the
opportunity and took it, deciding to open Bristol South Funeral Services Ltd
on June 1st 2006 in memory of John.
