We're proud to support families across the wider region, including Droitwich, Bromsgrove, Kidderminster, and Redditch, as well as those closer to home here in Worcester. No matter where you are, our team will come to you and guide you through every step at whatever pace feels right for your family. Distance is never a barrier to the care we provide.
We have experience arranging funerals for Roman Catholic, Christian, Muslim, and Chinese communities, and we understand that the rituals and traditions surrounding death can be deeply important to a family's faith and culture. We work closely with local places of worship, including St Georges Catholic Church and Worcester Cathedral, to make sure every service is conducted with the respect and authenticity your loved one deserves. Whatever the tradition, we'll listen carefully and make sure nothing is overlooked.
We regularly use Worcester Crematorium, The Vale Crematorium, Wyre Forest Crematorium, and Redditch Crematorium, and we'll help you choose the one that suits your family's wishes and location best. On the day itself, our team will be with you from the moment we leave Lowesmoor, accompanying your loved one and making sure every detail - from the order of service to the music - unfolds exactly as you planned. We'll stay by your side throughout, so you're never navigating any part of the day alone.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and we'll talk you through everything calmly and without any rush - there is no wrong time to reach out. Our team can arrange to collect your father with care and bring him to our chapel of rest on Lowesmoor, where he'll be looked after until the funeral. We'll also help you understand the paperwork and registration process, so you're never left wondering what needs to happen next.
There is a public car park close to us on Lowesmoor, though please be aware it is a paid third-party car park, so it's worth bringing some change or a payment card on the day. Our funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible, with a ground floor arrangement room and an accessible toilet, so every member of your family can be with you when it matters most. If you're travelling from further afield and find it helpful, Worcester Cathedral is a well-known landmark nearby and a useful point of reference when finding your way to us.
