Coles Funeral Directors – with you every step of the way. We guarantee that you will not have a higher or more personal level of service anywhere.
(1)
We provide compassionate, dedicated and reliable funeral services, supporting families in Cardiff and across South Wales with care and respect in their most difficult moments. We appreciate that when someone passes away it can come as a great shock, and as your funeral director we are here to help and advise in any way we possibly can. As dedicated professionals, we will ensure that when you suffer a bereavement, everything your family & friends thought about a loved one is expressed on the funeral day. With our high level of personal service, we can take away as much undue stress at such a difficult time whilst always priding ourselves in our careful approach.

This weekend marks the final days of the 2miles for 2wish Cymru and we'd like to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who's taken part, donated or shown their support 💛
Over the month, have shared how committing to two miles a day has helped them reset, spend time outdoors (braving the rain) and feel connected to the wider community.
A big shout out to our two mile champs 🙌
Our thanks again to everyone who got involved. Your support has helped make a real difference – supporting families who have lost a child or a young adult 🐘

Today, we remember the millions of people whose lives were taken during the Holocaust and those affected by genocide since.
Remembrance is not only about looking back, but about how we live today. One thing each of us can do is choose understanding, tolerance and respect – in our communities and in our everyday lives.
By remembering together, we honour those who were lost and reaffirm our commitment to compassion and humanity 💛

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Friday at our Believe Organ Donor Support Memorial Garden coffee morning ☕
It was lovely to come together as a community – to talk, remember and support a space that means so much to so many families in Cardiff.
On the morning, we raised over £200, which will be added to our wider Movember fundraising efforts. We’re also incredibly grateful to our CEO, Gareth, who will be matching our fundraising, bringing the total raised for Believe to £1,200.
By coming along, you helped support the ongoing care of the garden, ensuring it remains a place of reflection and comfort for the community.
Events like this remind us how important it is to have the conversations that matter, whether that's organ donation or funeral wishes.
Thank you for being a part of something so special 💛

A visit this week to Carnations Florist Cardiff in Llanrumney gave us a chance to say an in-person 'happy new year' to Tony and Emma.
January is often a time to reflect – on the people we meet along the way, new friendships and those steady relationships that have been there from the start.
For us, one thing that really matters is having people around us who share our values and care as deeply as we do for the families we support.
Thank you both, for the continued support, alongside so many other we're grateful to work with 🫶

A new year often brings long to-do lists and good intentions, but sometimes, doing just one thing can make the biggest difference.
Putting a funeral plan in place is one thing you can do now to take care of the future.
It's one less thing to think about, giving you more time to enjoy what matters most – time with your loved ones.
The *SunLife Costs of Dying Report (2025) found that 35% of people surveyed wanted their families 'to spend as little as possible' when the time comes. Planning ahead can help make that possible, easing both emotional and financial pressure later on.
When you're ready, our team are here to talk through the options available 👇
When the weather turns wetter, there's something comforting about a warm cuppa and a friendly chat ☕
This Friday, we're hosting our Believe Coffee Morning and you're more than welcome to join us. There'll be sweet treats, good conversation and a chance to come together in support of a really good cause.
If you're choosing one thing this week, it could be heading out, braving the rain and spending time with others ☔
If you are planning to come along, or to find out more, please email Francesca 👇
Today you might be reading a lot about Blue Monday.
It's a date that's become heavily commercialised, but one that can often reflect how many people are feeling during January.
For some, this time can feel heavy. Short days, long nights and grief can take their toll.
This month, we've been focusing on one thing – something small that helps get us through January.
Read what that looks like for our team 👇
We thank them for sharing and if you feel able we welcome you to share what helps you through the month 💬

In Jewish funeral traditions, a small stone is often placed on a grave when visiting, rather than flowers.
This simple act is a lasting symbol of remembrance – one quiet way of showing respect for a loved one who has died.
We work closely with the communities we serve to respect religious beliefs, traditions and rituals. Sometimes, one thoughtful practice – observed with care – can bring comfort to families at a difficult time.
For us it's about understanding, respect and compassion – for every farewell 💛

We're now partway through the 2miles for 2wish Cymru challenge and have been sharing how they're staying motivated.
For some of us, it's been about making time to move; for others, the cause has kept us going – even with Storm Goretti in full force 🌦️
"Knowing my two miles a day is raising awareness for 2wish. As my colleagues are taking part, we are accountable to each other for putting in the effort." - Claire Robertson
"Supporting a worthwhile charity, making an impact and helping others" - Angela Thomas
"Going for a walk with a friend and knowing that our two miles are going to make a difference" - Rebecca Hughes
"Listening to music that has a quick beat... getting the heart pumping. My cousin lost her eight-year-old daughter suddenly and her memory spurs me on" - Sam Bird
"Getting back feeling motivated and healthy for the New Year and meeting friends... a bit of me-time" - Francesca Coles
If you're taking part, please share what's keeping you motivated 💬

Every funeral is unique, a reflection of the values and life lived.
Jeanette Bowman's farewell was a beautiful example of this – a bespoke coffin featuring a dragon and daffodils, draped with a Welsh scarf.
Gyda chariad 💛
Thank you to the family for allowing us to share images of the service.
It's often the smallest details – that one thing – that hold the deepest meaning. If you'd like to discuss how you can personalise your funeral – from the transport and coffin to the service – speak to our team today👇
It really is appreciated when people like Sian take the time to share their experience, especially at such a difficult time. Thank you 💛
