About

Managing Director of Morgan T. Vowles, Pontyclun Funeral Services, Humphreys Funeral Home Porth & Griffith Memorials Monumental Masons.

My name is Geraint Llewelyn Griffith my mother and father are Jennifer, and John Griffith I was born in East Glamorgan Hospital Pontypridd on the 4th of January 1979 from when I was born, I lived in Graigwen Pontypridd and went to Pontsionorton Primary school & then onto Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Rhydyfelin. My lifetime dream was to work with my Uncle Mog at his Funeral home in Trehafod Pontypridd, I couldn’t wait for the day I could finish school & go to work with my uncle. During my time in school, I played rugby & Judo but my fondest memory of growing up was at the end of the day in school I would go to Trehafod and work with my uncle cleaning cars, furnishing coffins and generally working around the funeral home. I would work there during the school holidays and any free time I had. Once I finished my GCSE, I was accepted to The Lear School of Mortuary Science in Kingston Upon Thames London at the age of 15 at that I was one of the youngest Embalmers in the country. I graduated from The Lear School of Mortuary Science in Kingston Upon Thames London in October 1997 as a fully qualified embalmer earning me the initials after my name of M.B.I.E. I then returned home to work with my Uncle Mog and during this time I assisted many of the local funeral directors with driving, Embalming & call outs.

2002 saw Morgan and Geraint acquire an old and well established memorial masonry company based in Trelaw, Porth, formerly known as Griffith Evan & Son, then Heritage memorials, upon acquisition the company name was changed to Griffith Memorials. The business remains part of the firm, supplying and fitting bespoke memorials, inscriptions, and grave renovations across the UK.

In 2005 we were left the business of R.M. & G.M. Edward Funeral Directors in Pontyclun Mr Edward was retiring from work and to make the deal legal Mr Edwards had to sell me the business for £1.00. We then changed the name to Pontyclun Funeral Services and my wife Leanne Griffith became the director.

In July 2019 Morgan Leanne & my Self bought a local business in Pontypridd called Seren Funeral Services we changed that to Morgan Vowles Funeral Directors & Monumental Masons.

In February 2020 Morgan Leanne & my Self bought Humphreys Funeral Home Porth.

In 2007 I Married Leanne Jones from Porth and in July 2008 our son Dylan-Morgan Griffith was born. I unfortunately don’t get to spend much

time with them as my job is very demanding. But as we are a family business & they help and support me through this every day.

I am committed and passionate about my businesses and my role in the communities as a Funeral Director & Monumental Mason I enjoy my role because I know I am helping people at the worst time of their lives and being able to do this with the upmost professionalism, Dignity & Pride in our job. I came up with a slogan many years ago which I think is most fitting to describe what I and my business are all about.

Our Family Helping Yours

I continue to run the business with the help of a 1st class team of employees who are all dedicated to providing at the highest standard of service to the families we are intrusted to take care of along with my Wife Leanne and of course My Beloved Uncle Morgan Vowles.

We pride ourselves in creating a completely professional and personalised service, unique to each family we serve.
