Yes, our team at James Summers & Son Roathcourt on Newport Road supports families across a wide area of Cardiff, including Llanrumney, Splott, Llanedeyrn, St Mellons and Penylan. We understand that when someone has died, the last thing you want is uncertainty about whether we can help, so please do get in touch and we will be with you. Our team has been serving Cardiff families since 1965 and knows these communities well.
You can call us at any time - day or night - and our team at James Summers & Son Roathcourt on Newport Road will respond promptly, including arranging the care and collection of your loved one from home, a hospital such as the University Hospital of Wales, or a care home. We will take care of the immediate practical steps and gently walk you through what paperwork and registrations will be needed in the days ahead, so nothing feels overwhelming. You do not need to have any decisions made before you call us - simply reaching out is enough.
We have longstanding experience supporting Hindu, Chinese and Traveller community funerals, as well as services at local churches including St Margaret's Church, St Alban's RC and St Mary the Virgin, so whatever your family's faith or cultural tradition, we will listen carefully and arrange things in the right way. We understand that cultural and religious customs matter deeply, particularly at a time of loss, and our team will never ask you to compromise on what is important to your family. Please talk to us about your specific wishes and we will make sure every detail reflects them.
Depending on your family's wishes and circumstances, we work with Thornhill Crematorium, Langstone Crematorium, Cardiff and Vale Crematorium, and St Margaret's - giving you genuine choice about where your loved one's cremation takes place. On the day itself, our team will travel with you and guide you through every moment, from the arrival of the procession to the committal, so you never feel alone in an unfamiliar place. We will explain exactly what to expect at whichever crematorium you choose, well before the day arrives.
Our funeral home on Newport Road has a large free car park with space for up to 35 cars, including designated disabled parking bays, and the building is fully wheelchair accessible with a ground floor arrangement room so that everyone in your family can be involved comfortably. We also have an on-site chapel of rest where you are welcome to spend time with your loved one, as well as a service venue that can accommodate around 70 guests if you wish to hold the funeral with us rather than travelling to a church or crematorium. Our team is here to make every visit as straightforward and unhurried as possible.
