Ryan and Abbie attended the Emstrey Crematorium and Cemetery Christmas Memorial Service this evening, a truly beautiful and heartfelt event. 🤍

The service offered families a gentle moment of reflection, bringing comfort and connection at a time of year that can feel especially difficult. The warm atmosphere, thoughtful words, and soft candlelight created a meaningful space for remembrance.

A sincere thank you to the team at Emstrey for organising such a touching service. 🕊️✨

Today we had the honour of looking after a family at Telford Crematorium , where a thoughtful and heartfelt service was held in the calm and beautiful surroundings of the chapel.

Supporting families through days like today is something we never take for granted. We take great care to ensure everything runs smoothly and sensitively, allowing those attending to focus on being together, sharing memories, and celebrating the life of their loved one in their own way.

The family did absolutely amazingly today. Their strength, unity, and the way they supported one another was truly admirable, and it was our privilege to stand alongside them.

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

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. 🤍

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. 💙✨
