The profession of Funeral Directing is considered to be one of the oldest since time immemorial and, latterly has suffered criticism for the value placed upon the service given. One of the objectives here at G & L EVANS is to return to the concept of the individual family Funeral Director. Our company is designed to offer the public a realistically priced traditional funeral which we have been able to achieve through the vast experience that we have gained both locally and nationally over many years.
Our MissionAs Faringdon's, Highworth & Lechlade's only professionally qualified family owned funeral service, we can and do offer a dignified personal service to every single client we are called upon to serve, irrespective of the amount of money they choose to spend.
Company ProfileOur Company was founded in August 2002 in Faringdon by Geoffrey Evans Dip. F.D. L.M.B.I.F.D. and Lesley Jane Mander (Now Evans as we were married on the 4th October 2003). Having both worked in the funeral profession for several years, it was only natural the we decided to form our own company. Geoffrey entered the profession in 1983 and became a diploma qualified funeral director in 1985, once qualified he applied for and became a member of the British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD) in 1986, and is still a licensed member today. Geoffrey has previously been the Yorkshire representative on the national council of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), and in the late 80s was the vice chairman of the Kent region of the British Institute of Funeral Directors. Lesley entered the profession in 1996, where she worked for a small funeral company in Cirencester, her duties there included all administration work and the running of the Monumental Masonry department.
Lesley & Geoff became life partners in April 2002 and to them it was a natural progression to own and run their own family business. In our second year of trading we opened premises in the neighbouring town of Highworth. You can see us in the picture holding our award from the Natural Death Centre outside these premises.
We are proud members of the British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD) and the National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF)
We are extremely proud and pleased to say that the majority of our clients tell us that our services and professionalism exceeded their expectations.
Being a small family owned and operated business our only full time employees are Geoff & Lesley, however we have a good supply of "Casual" staff who assist on funerals. We have our own hearse, and we hire limousines from Route 66 limousine hire.
Contact InformationWe are available twenty four hours a day three hundred and sixty five days of the year, so no matter where you are calling from, we are always available to take your call and offer any advice or guidance you may require.
