We are available to take your call at any time, day or night, and our team can come to you wherever your loved one has died, whether that is at home, in a local hospital, or at a care facility near Caerphilly. Once your loved one is in our care at Pontygwindy Road, we will guide you gently through the paperwork and next steps, so you never have to feel unsure about what to do.
Yes, our Caerphilly funeral home on Pontygwindy Road covers Hengoed and the surrounding communities, including Ystrad Mynach, Machen, Nelson, and Caerphilly itself. Our team knows these local areas well and can help your family with every aspect of the arrangements, from the first call through to the day of the funeral.
We work with three crematoriums, Thornhill, Sirhowy Valley, and Glyntaff, and our team will help you choose the one that best suits your family's wishes and circumstances. On the day, we take care of all the coordination, accompanying your loved one and your family from Caerphilly to the crematorium and ensuring the procession runs smoothly and with dignity throughout.
We work closely with local churches including St Martin's Church, St Barrwg's Church, St John's Church, and St Helen's Roman Catholic Church in the Caerphilly area, and our team can liaise directly with clergy on your behalf. Whether your family follows a religious faith or prefers a non-religious humanist service, we will support you in planning something that feels right and personal to the person who died.
Our arrangement room at Pontygwindy Road is on the ground floor and designed to seat up to six people, so the whole immediate family can be together when we talk through your wishes. We also have on-site parking for six cars as well as street parking nearby, and the funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible with an accessible toilet, so we want to make sure every member of your family can be with you on the day you visit us.
