Swindon's only fully licensed Funeral Directors, which allows our family to look after yours.
History
Established in 2009.
We started here in St John Road in 2009 as G&L Evans, who were sold to a national company in 2017.
We did not believe that this would benefit our families, so Karen and I purchased the final part of the office and changed the name to Mead Family Funerals.
Meet the Business Owner: Jem P.
He started in the funeral profession in 2009 when the office opened here in Wroughton pretty much by chance, when a bearer failed to arrive one day, he stepped in at short notice to help out. Having enjoyed the experience he decided to continue and became a part time bearer on a regular basis.
In 2012 he was offered the full time position of office manager, and started on the road to become a Funeral Director, which he found very similar to being the Director of Ceremonies in his various Masonic Lodges. In 2013 he became fully responsible for the financial running of the office. 2014 saw the beginning of his further education when having realised the importance of knowledge of what had now become his passion, he set about a return to part time education to study for a Certificate in Funeral Services and Diploma in Funeral Services, Having passed both he is now one of only two fully licensed Funeral Director's in Swindon

I was very grateful that I chose Mead Family Funerals to handle the funeral for my father.
As a grieving family who had not arranged a funeral before we were very unsure of how to proceed but Jem and his team took control and lifted the weight from us.
They were so caring, respectful and professional in everything they done for us, from the first meeting at our home to the day of the funeral nothing was to much trouble.
Jem and the team instructed me and my brother in how to carry dads coffin as part of their bearer party and together we carried him in. I can't thank them enough for helping us to carry out that final act of love for our dad.
Massive thanks to everyone at Meads. We would recommend them to friends and family without hesitation. read more
Fantastic, professional, personal service from this small family business. Jem and Karen Mead helped me get through the worst few weeks of my life following the passing of my wife Karen, with compassion, kindness and above all professionalism - with a little humour too. Cannot recommend Mead Family Funerals Highly enough. read more
