Absolutely amazing team. Professional, respectful, and very helpful throughout the entire process of arranging my father in laws funeral. As a family, we can't thank Alun, Jan and Millie enough. They all went above and beyond, when we needed their help. Highly recommended.

From the very first contact with this company the family received the most professional and caring service possible. The team at Ystalyfera proved to be kind and considerate at every juncture, Alun, Jan and Millie are to be commended! The day of the funeral went exactly as planned, and all attendees went out of their way to tell us how lovely the whole ceremony transpired to be. Thank you all very much indeed!

Alun was an absolute pleasure to deal with. He and his team made the whole process very straight forward and ensured everything ran smoothly, which made what is always a difficult time a little easier and less stressful than it otherwise would be.  Diolch yn fawr!

    From the moment my mother arrived at the funeral home she was trouble! If it had not been for Alun and his team I think we would still be trying to resolve the confusion. After three awful weeks we were finally able to have her funeral, which went beautifully. I cannot thank everyone enough for the support and consideration we were shown.

  • 5 Pauline Cutter 14th Nov 2023

    From the time Alun visited me at home till the time we laid our lovely Dad to rest, I cannot speak highly enough of him and the team.  As a family, we were treated with such kindness and dignity and knew our Dad was in such good and caring hands.  Alun visited us several  times and the team  was always available for any queries we had. The funeral itself was a painful and difficult day but Alun  and the team were quietly empathetic and respectful to our lovely Dad and ourselves. 
    My Sister and myself would like to send Alun our heartfelt thanks for everything he did and for the wonderful service we received.

    During our time of loss and sadness, I felt supported and kept up to date with every decision I needed to make. Flowers, hymns order of service was beautiful and simple, as my cousin had wanted, every detail was followed impeccably and with utmost respect to her wishes. I can highly recommend Wynford Thomas and Sons. In such time when you need guidance and support, they were constantly there for me. Buddug Stevens.
