Our funeral home in Caernarfon has been serving the local community since 1970. During that time, we've come to know and love our local area well. We cover areas in and around Caernarfon, including Felinheli, Bethel, Llanrug and Bontnewydd. We're here to give you a friendly, reliable and sensitively planned funeral service at your time of need.
The first thing we'll do at the arrangement meeting is listen to you. And whatever your religion, culture or heritage, we can help you arrange the right kind of funeral. We work with all the local places of worship and crematoriums, including Eglwys Llanbeblig Church, Capel Seilo Chapel and Capel Salem Chapel and Bangor Crematorium. So whatever type of funeral you need to arrange, we can help you.
You're always welcome at our South Road funeral home in person or just pick up the phone and chat to one of our friendly, professional team. We're here to listen, support and take you through every step.

Absolutely, and it is something we are very well placed to help with, given how deeply rooted we are in the local community here in Caernarfon. We work closely with local venues including Capel Seilo, Capel Salem, Eglwys Llanbeblig, and Eglwys y Santes Fair, many of which regularly hold Welsh-language services. Whether your family would like the service conducted entirely in Welsh, bilingually, or in English, we will make sure the arrangements reflect what feels right and meaningful to you.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and one of our team will answer and talk you through everything calmly and without any rush. We will arrange to bring your loved one into our care, whether that is from a home in Bontnewydd, a hospital, or anywhere else in the areas we serve, and we will take care of all the practical steps so your family does not have to. When you are ready, we will invite you to meet with us at our arrangement room on South Road in Caernarfon, where we can sit down together and begin planning a service that truly reflects the person who died.
We have eight on-site parking spaces at our funeral home on South Road, and there is also street parking nearby as well as paid car parks within easy reach if you need more space. The building is wheelchair accessible and our arrangement room is on the ground floor, so there are no stairs to navigate when you come to meet with us. We want every family member to feel comfortable and welcome when they visit us, and our team will always do whatever we can to accommodate any particular needs you have.
Yes, our team covers Rhosgadfan and many of the surrounding villages, including Rhostryfan, Llandwrog, and Penygroes, as well as the towns and communities closer to Caernarfon such as Felinheli, Bethel, Llanrug, and Bontnewydd. Wherever you are in the area, we can come to you and support your family from the very first call. We have been serving families across this part of North Wales since 1970, so you can be confident you are in experienced, caring hands.
We use Bangor Crematorium for cremation services, and our team will guide your family through every part of the day so nothing feels unfamiliar or daunting. On the day, we will organise and lead the procession to the crematorium, ensuring everything runs smoothly and with the dignity your loved one deserves. If you have wishes around music, readings, or who leads the service, we will make sure those are all arranged in advance so you can focus entirely on being together as a family.
