Welcome to the future of funeral care

About Us

White Rose Funerals was founded by AJ Alsisi on the principle that bereavement care should be defined by absolute integrity, clarity, and unwavering compassion.

 

Recognising the need to modernise the industry, our vision was to create a service that puts control and transparency back into the hands of grieving families. This commitment ensures we can respectfully honour every life, regardless of complexity or required timeline.

 

Whether a family seeks a traditional, inclusive ceremony, a commitment to eco-friendly practices, or a dignified rapid service, our philosophy is to provide personalised choice with full cost clarity.

 

From our dedicated team available 24/7 to our meticulous attention to detail, we are dedicated not just to arranging funerals, but to being a supportive partner during your most difficult time.

Our Founder’s Story

Ahmed Alsisi is the Chaplain, Author, and Entrepreneur who founded White Rose Funerals and Memorials, one of the UK’s most inclusive funeral services. A survivor of war and trauma born in Gaza, Ahmed made Cardiff his home and built a life dedicated to service and healing.

Key Achievements:

  • Pioneering Service: At 21, he founded the first Muslim funeral home in Wales, later expanding to White Rose Funerals (2016), which grew rapidly by focusing on genuine compassion and unmatched inclusion (serving Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, Traveller, Deaf, Christian, and secular families).

  • Industry Leader: Ahmed is a recognised advocate for change, advising the Welsh Parliament on bereavement and wellbeing. He also founded the Wales Bereavement and Mental Wellbeing Conference, a platform dedicated to transforming aftercare across the UK.

  • Mission: His journey demonstrates how empathy and enterprise can work hand-in-hand to disrupt corporate standards and prioritise personal, community-driven care.
