We Help Families to Say the Last Farewell
Sendell’s Funeral Services are an independent family firm of funeral directors serving the local community in the counties of Bridgend, Rhondda Cynon Taf and the Vale of Glamorgan for over the last 40 years. It is our aim to provide a professional bespoke dignified service which is tailored to the needs of the bereaved and their families.
The business was established in Bridgend County by Cliff & Val Sendell in 1973 and helped along by their son Owen. Val has been working as a female funeral director in the County Borough for over 35 years. Cliff was the main founder of the business after leaving his post as the area manager of the CIS funeral services, where he served for over 20 years. As of now Owen who is a Honourable Freemen of the City of London is running the business alongside his Dad.
Our funeral home is called “Heddfan Funeral Home” which is the only Consecrated Private Chapel of Rest located in the area. As a independent family run funeral director we have a long and proud history of serving local families and we pride ourselves on providing a fitting and final farewell to your loved ones.
We are a family business committed to providing a caring, compassionate individual service to every family that contacts us. We are available 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
“A time in each person’s life that cannot be avoided is the death of a loved one.
The pain endured at such a time is inexplicable and the loss cannot be justified”.

What Our Families Say
Hi Owen
Our whole family would like to thank you and the boys so much for such beautiful and professional funeral services.
You did a fantastic job on what was a very sad and difficult day for us.
Sorry I have forgotten the revs name, the eulogy was spot on as if he knew Shan.
Thanks, Dean
Again Thank you for such a professional service
Dean Evans
It’s taken me a good few days to do this as it’s all so final. Thank you to all the lovely people who came to say goodbye to my beautiful Darren last Thursday, thank you to Rev. Phil Denier, for capturing Dar so well, to the pal bears who accompanied him, to Owen Sendell of C & O J Sendell Funeral Services for the professionalism, respect and dignity he and his team showed and for making things so easy, driving all the way to Lancashire to see me and bring Dar home to Wales.
To Llanharan Rugby club. It was a tough day, but so nice to see and meet so many people from Darren’s life, he really did capture the hearts of those who got to know him, all the stories and memories we got to hear really did help celebrate his life. And to Wayne and the boys at the Rugby for looking after me when everyone had gone. Was a special day that my boy would have loved. And to Wayne, Jo, Mathew, Lexie and Cheryl for making me feel so welcome and looking after me this last week. Miss you Dar xxx
