"They did not only do a great job for us but made sure our loved one was at forefront throughout. The professionalism, sympathy and empathy were outstanding and they could not have done more to make a difficult time easier with constant communication and understanding."
— Danniella Williams (about Arfon Jones)
"Their care, compassion and attention to detail made a very difficult time a little less awful. I hope they know how grateful I am."
— claire alderton
"Arfon was absolutely fantastic at guiding us through every stage of this very difficult time. He showed great care, compassion, empathy and professionalism at all stages of the process. My father's funeral was organised beautifully and we cannot thank him highly enough."
— Melanie Goodwin (about Arfon)
"Such a gentle, kind, compassionate funeral business who made us feel a bit like they were also part of the family. It was made so much easier by the kindness, calmness and efficiency of the whole team at DJ Evans. They are truly lovely people who are very good at what they do."
— Liz B
"Ben Jones was an absolute pillar of support and professionalism. He was never overly assertive or pushy, allowing us the space to make decisions while ensuring we felt fully supported. Thanks to Ben's meticulous planning and compassionate guidance, Mum's service went exactly as planned. It was everything she would have wanted, and that brought us a great deal of comfort."
— Peter Cook (about Ben Jones)
"My father tough day has now turned into a memorable day as a send off. When leaving the graveside my father said to Arfon, 'When my time comes I'm booked in with you.' Arfon took us through the whole process, made it possible to have his wife back in the house on the eve of the funeral, sorted a professional for the music, and the walk from the church with pall bearers and my father touching his wife's coffin was beautiful."
— Larry Watkins (about Arfon)
