An East Devon funeral services business has been recognised by the NHS for helping the Exeter Nightingale Hospital.
Shoobridge Funeral Services, which has offices in Exeter, Exmouth and Honiton, was entrusted with the collection and care of NHS Nightingale patients on behalf of the hospital until a local funeral director is found.

“We are proud to work alongside them as key workers in the battle against Covid=19.”
