About Blackwells of Swindon
Serving Swindon, Cricklade and nearby areas since 1916, Blackwells has been run by Nigel Keen and Robert Orford, who became its owners in 1995 after the previous owner chose to keep the business independent rather than sell to a large group. It handles legal procedures and practical organisation, and can cater for mourners afterwards. A private chapel of rest offers a quiet space for families to visit. Unattended cremation is available as an option. A price guarantee promises no hidden fees, and a Standardised Price List is published alongside a pricing page. Arrangements can be made at home or at the Swindon and Cricklade premises, and the team is available 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Pre-paid funeral plans are arranged in partnership with Golden Charter. Rated 4.3 from 11 Google reviews.
