Phillip G Davies and Son Independent Family Funeral Directors is a compassionate, family-run funeral business based in Swansea, Glamorgan. The company is owned by Phillip and Lee Davies, with day-to-day operations managed by Funeral Manager David Monk-Roberts. All three are professional, qualified funeral directors dedicated to guiding families through every step of the funeral service with care and sensitivity.
The team prides itself on delivering the highest level of care and attention to detail in all aspects of funeral arrangements. Recognising that arranging a funeral can be a traumatic time, they work to simplify the process for families — from ordering coffins and floral tributes to selecting music for the ceremony. Every funeral is treated as unique and personal, reflecting the individual wishes of each family.
In addition to funeral services, Phillip G Davies and Son offer monumental masonry, headstone repairs, and personalised memorials. They arrange both religious and non-religious funerals and are available 24 hours a day by telephone. The business operates from Bethel Private Funeral Home in Cockett, Swansea, and is registered with the FCA (Registration No. 986803), reflecting their commitment to professional and trusted service.

— Clare Kavanagh (about David)
"It was like meeting a friend again. Phillip is a very warm and caring person who directed my father's funeral 3 years ago with dignity. My mother wanted Phillip to conduct her own funeral, which he did this week. He and his team looked after her and me so well. What a gentleman, so kind and respectful at such a difficult time."
— Jennifer Peek-hughes (about Phillip)
"Phillip also managed to remain light-hearted in a way that perfectly suited our family and our dad's personality. Dad had been dressed so well and treated with the utmost dignity. The aftercare and continuous check-ins with myself and my mother since have meant more than we can say."
