Our Philosopy Clarkson's is an independent, family firm owned by mother and daughter Carol Spalding and Sophie May. The company believes strongly in making sure every funeral service is individual to each client and their wishes and personality. A beautiful service is not just about tradition, but about a celebration of someone's life and this is something we feel is the core of who we are. Our team are always here to listen and help everyone throughout the entire process, to be there on the end of the phone at all times, to guide, to help and assist whenever we are needed. About Us Clarkson's Independent Funeral Directors was originally established as Jolly's of Bath. The name changed in August 2001 and the company has been owned since 2004 by Carol Spalding and Sophie May, Carol's daughter, who became a partner in 2013, whose breadth of experience combined with the company's independence from any national chain, means that Clarkson's is able to offer a high level of personal attention. In 2012 we opened our second branch in Frome, Martha's House in Broadway. In July of 2014 our third branch in Saltford was opened and is cared for by Alana Hurst, Branch Manager and Funeral Director with the lovely Paul Lawrance remaining on as a non-religious service taker. Martyn Hurst and Anne Booker, Senior Funeral Directors, work alongside Carol and Sophie in helping to look after our families in our Bath office. Being a true family firm was always something Carol hoped for and is delighted that this has been achieved.
