Caradoc Price Funeral Directors, operating under T.P Griffiths & Sons (Merthyr Tydfil) Limited, is a well-respected, independent family firm serving the community of Merthyr Tydfil since 1900. The business traces its roots to North Street, Penydarren, and has grown through three generations of dedicated family ownership. The Caradoc Price name was incorporated into T.P Griffiths & Sons on February 1st 1985, and the firm has since operated from its base at Rectory Close, Dowlais, where the chapel of rest has been fully refurbished to include a state-of-the-art service chapel.
The business is currently run by brothers Gareth and Keith, who together bring over sixty years of experience in the funeral industry. Their commitment to care and compassion ensures every family receives the highest standard of support during an incredibly difficult time. The firm offers a 24-hour service, every day of the year, providing complete peace of mind.
Caradoc Price provides a comprehensive range of services, including bespoke funeral arrangements, pre-paid funeral plans, a wide selection of coffins, caskets and urns, and specialist vehicles. The firm also caters to a variety of religious requirements and offers a range of personalised touches to create a truly tailor-made farewell. Their daughter company, Cefn Coed Memorials, is also on hand for memorial masonry needs.
"Can't express how much you guys have helped us through these sad and testing times. Everything that Gareth guided us through was second to none."
— Pheonix Warrior (about Gareth)
"Cannot express mine or my family's gratitude for the support and help that was given throughout. Nothing was too much trouble — conducted the funeral with the utmost respect and dignity."
— Mark (about Gareth)
"He is a consummate professional, he put me and my father at ease. Nothing was ever too much — the day was exactly what my mother would have hoped for."
— Nigel Harries (about Gareth)
"Gareth was very supportive of our family during this awful time. He allowed us time to grieve. He ensured that my son's final journey was very respectful."
— Johm Harris (about Gareth)
