For over six decades, Peter Evans Funeral Directors has stood beside grieving families throughout West Wales — offering respectful, personal care at one of the most profound moments of life. We speak both Welsh and English, and we are here for you, day or night.
Peter Evans Funeral Directors is an independently owned funeral home rooted in the heart of Carmarthenshire. We have served the communities of West Wales for more than sixty years, guided always by the same values our founder held dear.
We believe that every life deserves to be honoured with care and individuality. Our experienced team takes time to listen, to understand, and to arrange a funeral that truly reflects the person who has passed — whether that is a traditional Welsh chapel service, a contemporary celebration of life, or something entirely personal to your family.
As a family business, we are not driven by corporate targets. Every decision we make is guided by what is right for the families we serve, and we take immense pride in the relationships we build within our community.
No shareholders, no corporate pressures — only the wellbeing of your family.
You will work with the same dedicated funeral director from first contact to final farewell.
We understand Welsh traditions, customs, and the importance of language in moments of grief.
From the moment you contact us to the final goodbye, we handle every detail with care, professionalism and an understanding of what truly matters.

We do not offer a one-size-fits-all approach. Every family is different, and every farewell should reflect that. Below are some of the arrangements we can help you make, tailored entirely to your needs and wishes.
We have longstanding relationships with clergy, ministers and faith leaders throughout Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire. Whether you follow Anglican, Catholic, Nonconformist, or any other tradition, we will coordinate every aspect of the church or chapel service on your behalf.
Increasingly, families are choosing to honour their loved ones in ways that are deeply personal — reflecting hobbies, passions, humour, and individuality. We will help you create a truly memorable occasion that captures who your loved one really was.
We offer a range of cremation services, from a simple direct cremation to a full service at a crematorium of your choice. We also work with families to arrange meaningful ash interments and memorialisation options.
We assist with traditional burial in churchyards and local authority cemeteries across the region, as well as natural or woodland burial for those who prefer an eco-conscious send-off. Our team handles all necessary documentation and permissions on your behalf.
We know that arranging a funeral can feel overwhelming. Our role is to take that weight from your shoulders — gently, professionally, and at your pace.
Call us at any time. A caring member of our team will listen, answer your immediate questions, and arrange to meet you at a time that suits.
We meet face to face — in our office, or at your home if you prefer — to discuss all aspects of the funeral and help you plan a fitting tribute.
From registering the death to liaising with clergy, florists and the venue, we take care of every detail so you can focus on your family.
On the day, we are there to ensure everything runs smoothly. Afterwards, we remain available for any practical help or bereavement support you need.
Our chapel of rest provides a tranquil, private setting where you and your family may visit and spend time with your loved one before the funeral. Many families find this an important part of the grieving process, allowing a moment of quiet reflection and a final, personal goodbye.
Our chapel is maintained to the highest standards of care and dignity. It is calm, gently lit, and thoughtfully appointed to provide a sense of comfort and peace. We welcome visitors at times that suit your family, with full privacy and no time pressure.
Our staff will prepare and care for your loved one with the utmost respect and professionalism, adhering to all best practice standards as members of the National Association of Funeral Directors.
Comfortable, private rooms available for individual or family visits, arranged at a time of your choosing.
All care and preparation is conducted with the highest standards of respect, discretion and professionalism.
We accommodate visits outside standard office hours by appointment, including evenings and weekends.
Our team can advise on how to support children who wish to visit and help families approach these conversations.
“Being able to sit quietly with my father in the chapel of rest, just the two of us, meant everything to me. Peter Evans gave us that time and space without any rush. I will always be grateful.”A family from Llanelli, 2023
Visits can be arranged at a time to suit your family, including evenings and weekends. Simply telephone us on 01267 000 000 and we will make all necessary arrangements. There is no charge to visit the chapel of rest. We welcome as many family members as you wish, and you may take as long as you need.
A pre-paid funeral plan is one of the most thoughtful gifts you can leave for those who love you. It spares them from financial worry and decision-making at the most difficult time, and ensures your wishes are honoured.
Funeral costs have risen significantly over recent decades, and many families are shocked by the expense at an already emotional time. By planning and paying in advance, you lock in today's prices for our funeral director fees, giving your family one less thing to worry about.
All plans arranged through Peter Evans Funeral Directors are held in trust, fully regulated, and backed by the Funeral Planning Authority to protect your investment absolutely.
We offer several plan levels to suit different needs and budgets. Each plan can be tailored with your personal wishes. Please contact us to discuss the details and receive a full written quotation.
Pre-paid plan prices shown cover Peter Evans Funeral Directors' fees only. Third-party costs (such as cremation or burial fees, minister's fees) may be subject to change. Full details provided in writing before any commitment is made.
The Welsh language is central to the identity of Carmarthenshire. We understand the deep importance of being able to speak and grieve in your mother tongue. All of our funeral directors are fluent Welsh speakers and are proud to offer a fully bilingual service — in Welsh or English, or both, as you prefer.
From your first telephone call to the eulogy at the service, you will always be able to communicate with us naturally, in the language that brings you comfort.

We have close ties with Welsh-language chapels and nonconformist ministers throughout Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire.

From Calon Lân to Cwm Rhondda, we can arrange any Welsh hymns or musical traditions that are meaningful to your family and community.
As a locally owned business, we are part of the communities we serve. We understand the village, the chapel, and the ties that bind families together.
We consider it the greatest privilege to be trusted by families at such a deeply personal time. These are some of the words they have shared with us.
“From the first phone call, we felt completely supported. The team were kind, patient, and nothing was too much trouble. They honoured our mother in the most beautiful way. We cannot thank them enough.”
“Peter Evans arranged my father's funeral entirely in Welsh, which meant the world to our family. Every hymn, every prayer, every detail was exactly right. Truly compassionate professionals.”
“When my husband passed, I had no idea where to begin. They guided me through every single step with such gentleness and care. I never felt alone, and the service was perfect. A genuine credit to the community.”
“We had very specific wishes for our grandmother's funeral — a woodland burial, Welsh readings, and her favourite music. They made every single part happen, beautifully. An extraordinary team.”
“I cannot speak highly enough of the respect and professionalism shown throughout. The chapel of rest was peaceful and private. We were never rushed. They gave us something precious: time.”
“Having arranged a pre-paid plan through Peter Evans a few years ago, when the time came it was such a relief. Everything was in order, our wishes were respected, and the family could simply grieve. Incredible service.”
Whether you need immediate assistance, would like to make an arrangement, or simply wish to ask a question, please do not hesitate to reach us. There is no obligation, and no question is too small.
