We’re so pleased to share that we are now working in partnership with the Shropshire Bereavement Group.

Founded by Shane, this incredible local group offers free, confidential emotional and practical support to anyone in Shropshire who has experienced the loss of a loved one.

The service runs welcoming support groups across Shrewsbury, Telford, and Oswestry, providing a safe and understanding space for people to talk, share, and connect with others who truly understand what they’re going through.

At Evans & Son, we believe our care shouldn’t end once the funeral is over. Partnering with Shane means we can continue supporting families long after the service helping them find comfort, understanding, and hope in their journey through grief.

If you or someone you know could benefit from bereavement support, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. We’re here for you, always. 🤍

Tonight, we join families across the world for the , marking the end of Baby Loss Awareness Week.

At 7pm, we’ll be lighting a candle in remembrance of all the babies who left us too soon, a moment to pause, reflect, and honour their precious memories. 🕯️💙💗

We invite you to do the same, light a candle and let it shine for at least one hour, uniting with others in love, remembrance, and support.

From all of us at Evans & Son Family Funeral Directors, our thoughts are with every family remembering their little ones this evening. 🤍

At Evans & Son, we’re more than just funeral directors – we’re a family. 🎩

Founded by Ryan Evans after the loss of his own parents and grandparents, our mission is to provide genuine care and compassion to every family we meet.

With Ryan at the heart of the work and his partner Abbie helping with the day-to-day, we make sure every detail is handled with warmth and respect.

The “& Son” is dedicated to Ryan’s little boy, Finley – a nod to the future, though he never has to take it on unless he chooses to. It’s simply Ryan’s way of leaving something special in his name. 💙✨

Today we had the honour of looking after a family at the beautiful Chirbury Church, where a service was held before a burial took place in the peaceful churchyard.

Being entrusted with such an important occasion is always a privilege. At Evans & Son, we are committed to ensuring that every detail is taken care of with dignity, respect, and compassion, so that families can focus on what matters most, remembering and honouring the life of their loved one.

We would like to sincerely thank the family for placing their trust in us at such a meaningful time.
