Practical Services

Living in the community in which we serve, Colin Phillips and Daughters Funeral Directors understand that the rising cost of funerals can be difficult for many families. It is for this reason we can help you with all the practical elements for the funeral service to help you achieve an affordable ceremony and provide a dignified farewell without the added stress and worry of ever-increasing costs.

Floral Tributes

Depending upon your belief and customs, flowers may, or may not form an integral part of your funeral service. Although it is becoming more commonplace for charitable donations to be requested instead of flowers, this does not normally extend to the immediate family and close friends. Flowers provide a meaningful tribute, bringing a warmth and visible expression of love, which many families see as an important part of the funeral ceremony. Although certain flowers do have different meanings, it is more important that you choose colours and flowers that have special meaning to you and convey what you want to say, maybe reflecting the personality of the person who has died.

At Colin Phillips and Daughters, we use several local Florist businesses and can help you to make the floral tribute arrangements, some of the local businesses that we use are: Florist on the Farm, Cardigan, Heulwen Morris, Lechryd, Flowers by Annabel, Newport and Trefhedyn, Newcastle Emlyn.

Order of Service

We can advise you with all aspects of the Order of Service choosing from themed designs, they can be personalised to reflect the passions or hobbies of the deceased using photographs, particular readings or hymns, creating a cherished keepsake commemorating the life of your loved one.

Memorial Masonry

At Colin Phillips and Daughters Funeral Services we can offer you advice on memorial masonry, consideration on the design, inscription, churchyards regulations etc

There are so many ways to commemorate the life of a person who has died, and the most conventional memorial is still a headstone for their grave, or a tablet or plaque in a remembrance garden.

When choosing a memorial some of the considerations to take into account include:

Regulations: The majority of cemeteries and churchyards have restrictions on the type of memorial they allow.
Location: It is important to consider where the memorial will be placed. If the grave is close to a tree or a hedge, a porous material such as marble or stone may be stained by leaves.
Material: There are many types of material available for memorials; the most common are granite, marble and stone.

Colin Phillips and Daughters use the services of ‘Grace Concerns’ for much of their masonry supplies, please click on the link below to find out further details.

“I really appreciated all your help in arranging mum’s funeral – including dropping the medical certificate off and driving all the way to Llandrindod Wells. You did a great job as celebrant/Master of ceremonies. It was a pleasure meeting you.”

Jackie Salter

At a sad and difficult time in our lives, Colin has been a tremendous help and comfort to my family and me. His wealth of experience in these matters, the care, compassion, respect and dignity he demonstrated throughout and the fact that he is friendly and approachable, have helped us tremendously as we navigated and continue to navigate through our journey of grief.

Thank you, Colin. We appreciate everything that you have done for us all.

Sue Bastock

Colin Phillips buried 2 of my aunts, in 2021 & 2023. He was extremely helpful and kind throughout all our dealings with him. His efficiency and availability to answer any of our queries, made the whole proceeding much easier & smoother both times. I would highly recommend him and regret that we cannot use him to organise funerals for other family members, when the time comes, who unfortunately don’t live in Ceredigion.

Kathryn Silvestre

Colin and his Daughter Lowri have taken care of both my Mother and Fathers cremations and their funeral service. Colin is a genuinely really nice guy, and extremely friendly, and puts your mind at ease over all aspects concerned, as does Lowry too. Dignity, respect and compassion throughout. I would have no hesitation recommending them for any of your funeral arrangement needs. Many thanks indeed !
