History and Values

Vaudin's Funeral Services was founded by Jai Vaudin and assisted by Nigel Le Marchant in 2016 when he decided to set up his own company after working in the funeral business since 1997. Vaudin's aims to bring dignity and respect to each service by offering above and beyond the conventional means. We also pride ourselves on focusing on the small details involved.

Our Team

Jai Vaudin

Managing Director and Funeral Director

With over 30 years in the funeral profession, my journey began as a gravedigger before progressing to become a funeral director. That experience has given me a deep, practical understanding of every aspect of the service I provide.

For 20 years, I also served as a mortuary technician, further strengthening my knowledge and hands-on experience in the care of the deceased. This role required precision, responsibility and respect — values that continue to guide my work today.

I was proud to be the first in Guernsey to complete the Diploma in Funeral Arranging and Administration, and I am also a qualified embalmer. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to maintaining the highest standards of care and professionalism, and I was honoured to be named a finalist in the Customer Service Awards.

For me, this profession is not simply a job — it is a vocation.

My guiding principle has always been:


“Nothing is too much trouble.”
