About Us

Family-run Swansea funeral director DG Attwell is proud of its reputation for caring and personal funeral care. They are on call, day and night to provide supportive funeral service at a very upsetting time for local families.

Atwell’s funeral home in Brynhyfryd provides a warm and reassuring space to arrange a loved one’s funeral and how you wish for them to be remembered. It has its own chapel of rest, which can accommodate up to 50 mourners for a funeral service, with funeral director Elizabeth Worth and her caring team on hand to discuss funeral choices – from a simple cremation, to a traditional burial with a religious or non-denominational ceremony.

DG Atwell has its own modern fleet of funeral transport and can also arrange for a horse-drawn-hearse, as well as meaningful alternative ceremonies including woodland burial.

Aiming to provide bereaved families with unconditional support, home visits can be arranged, to help make the funeral process a little more reassuring at this difficult time and ensure that every detail is according to your wishes.

This Swansea funeral home is proud to uphold the high standards of the National Association of Funeral Directors and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors. Supporting people in Swansea through their bereavement since 1930, DG Attwell is proud to uphold its sincerely-held family value of helping other families.

    At a time where you have lost a loved one and are lost with what to do, Chris and his team professionally walked us through step by step the whole process and made it as easy and straight forward as they could. I simply cannot recommend and praise D G Attwell enough. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving my sister the best send of that she deserved.

    D. G. Attwell were absolutely amazing when it came to handling my Mams funeral, Chris especially was so kind, considerate and helpful. He made the process so easy for me and I honestly can’t thank him or them enough for the beautiful service they provided for my Mam.

  • 5 Paula O'Connor 7th Oct 2025

    Chris was absolutely wonderful from the first conversation to the last. Our family felt very supported throughout this saddest time. The Service was just as Mum instructed and everyone that attended Christ Church spoke of the very special and respectful service. My sister Carolyn and I cannot thank Chris at Atwells enough. Mum was cared for as if it was their family member as well as our own Queen mum xx

Have been using Attwells for years now and as always they always go above & beyond to allow us to see mam at the chapel of rest & capture fingerprints to cherish. Thank you for giving mam the send off she wanted & deserved! communication was excellent. Chris, Liz & the team we can’t thank you enough!

    Very supportive and helpful.

  • 5 Karlene Richards 1st Sep 2025

    Having dealt with many of our extended family funerals over the years Atwells was our immediate choice to ring. I spoke to Chris who arranged everything with kindness and compassion.  It was so reassuring knowing that Chris & all the staff would be sorting everything out.  Having dealt a few members of staff they were all absolutely lovely and caring.  
    The funeral was dignified and respectful.  Chris also put us in touch with a Celebrant who was also so kind and spoke about my dad in a way that made us smile at this sad time. 
    Thank you so much for everything. 
    Karlene, Susan, Alan & family.

    DG Atwell gave my mother the beautiful and respectful funeral that she deserved. They listened to everything that we requested and followed our wishes to the letter.

  • 5 Cheryl Owen 15th Jul 2025

    I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Chris and all the staff at DG Attwell for the exceptional care and support they provided during such a difficult time. Following the sudden passing of my mam in Morocco, the compassion, guidance, and professionalism shown to our family were truly second to none.

    From the very beginning, nothing was too much trouble. Every effort was made to ensure that my mam’s funeral was as special and meaningful as she was. The team gave us their time, attention, and unwavering support throughout, which brought comfort during an incredibly traumatic and devastating period.

    Thanks to their dedication, we were able to honour my mam in the most beautiful way, and for that, we are deeply grateful.
