A Brief Introduction

Proud to remain an Independent Family Business.

Le Roy Funeral Service was established in 1950 by Mr Stanley Le Roy Priaulx. The business operated from Buller Road, Cowick Street, and Queens Road Exeter. Martin Wreford was appointed manager in 1968 and subsequently purchased the business in 1974. His eldest son Andrew joined the company in 1980, followed by Martin’s wife Dianne and youngest son Nicholas in 1984.


On behalf of all my family, I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for the wonderful care you provided while making the arrangements for my Dad. Your kindness and understanding helped us so much through the difficult day’s and you were always on hand to help in any way you could. Your genuine concern for the family shone through and made us feel you stood alongside us when we were  hurting so much from loosing our beloved Dad. You provided much more than a service Leon, you gave care and compassion and helped us ensure we carried out Dad’s wishes. That is a great comfort to us. We cannot thank you enough.
With all our best wishes, Mary N.


10 Alphington Road Exeter

The growth of the company led to a move to new premises. 10 Alphington Road, St Thomas Exeter  was purchased in 1986 providing room for expansion and offering good modern facilities for visiting clients and staff. Car parking is also available on site. (10 Alphington Road was formally used as a Fire Station during the last war, Kings Potatoes, and Badcock Engineering)

94/95 High Street Crediton

As the Wreford family and many of the staff live in Crediton, we decided to look for suitable premises there. We purchased 94-95 High Street Crediton (formally Gospel Hall and Mitchell’s Bakery) in September 2000 for conversion to new offices and full facilities to serve the profession.

Words are not enough to express our gratitude as a family in the way LeRoy’s provided such excellent professional care, but in a way it that felt personal and very caring at a time when its needed the most. The whole service was just right, Mark Gilborson was amazing, the flowers were gorgeous and even the weather was behaving on the day!! Mum had the send off she deserved and we are grateful she is now at peace, leaving us with so many memories to cherish.
My heartfelt thanks and very best wishes. Lyn P.
