CHRIS LORD-BROWN
B.Ed (Hons) Dip. FD
After initially pursuing a career as a music teacher, I found my true calling in the funeral profession in 1996. My journey led me to study for the National Association of Funeral Directors Diploma, which I proudly earned in 2001. Since then, I have had the honour of arranging and conducting funerals for countless families, both locally and further afield.
Sharing my knowledge and experiences has always been important to me. I have given a series of talks to the staff at St David's Hospice on best practices in care of the deceased and have spoken to various agencies about my role as a funeral director. My extensive knowledge of local funeral practices has allowed me to build close relationships with local clergy, funeral celebrants, solicitors, florists, and other funeral service providers.
I live with my family in Rhos on Sea, where we enjoy the beauty of our community. In my spare time, I love taking long walks with my dogs and immersing myself in classical music. I'm also a keen watch collector with a deep interest in all things horological.
Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me. I look forward to supporting you and your loved ones with compassion and care during this important time.
JONATHEN HARTY
B.Ed (Hons) DipHE FRAS
I have been privileged to serve as a Funeral Director for over 30 years. Educated locally through the medium of Welsh, I originally trained as a teacher but felt a strong pull towards the funeral profession, following in the footsteps of my great-grandfather. Over the years, I have had the honour of helping hundreds of families say a fitting farewell to their loved ones.
Fairness, transparency, and sustainability are principles I deeply believe in and advocate for within the funeral industry. In 2019, I was immensely proud to receive a Llandudno Town Council Award in recognition of my support for bereaved families within our community.
I have been a resident of Penrhyn Bay since the 1980s and live happily there with my wife and sons. My interests are varied and include astronomy, science, photography, woodwork, 3D printing, and design. I have also served as Chair of the North Wales Astronomy Society and am a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society. And yes, I do visit the gym occasionally!
