  • Very pleased with service provided. Rachel explained everything very clearly, answering all our questions and putting us at ease. Not rushed at meeting. Good communication keeping us up to date via email and phone calls. Whole process dealt with in a caring manner by everyone concerned. Would definitely recommend services of R Davies & son

    • Response from R. Davies & Son Funeral Directors

      These kind words mean a great deal to the whole team. We always strive to give each family what they need even when times are difficult. 

  • From the moment we walked in through the door we were made welcome, offered refreshments and a sympathetic ear. So very important when grieving the loss of my mother. Covid had brought with it many restrictions, however I knew exactly what mum would have wanted and Rachel empathised, meeting all of my requests. As a result I feel we had done mum proud. The professionalism shown by the team is significant and we felt supported throughout. Given that Christmas was in between I received very prompt information throughout, along with emails to notify me of the Christmas closure. I was particularly impressed with the photograph that I had used on the order of service, Davies had enlarged it and framed it, this was placed on mums coffin and it was then given to me afterwards a lovely touch and it now sits on my window sill! I would wholeheartedly recommend Davies to anyone - we seldom "shop around" when it comes to this service provider and I have been very fortunate.
