We are proud to be part of Dignity Funerals, a collection of the UKs finest funeral directors, with each and every one committed to setting superior standards.
Many Dignity funeral directors have been part of the local community for generations and it is a privilege to serve those who live beside us. Our rich and lengthy heritage ensures we can deliver our service with local knowledge and unparalleled expertise.
With two packages available, we will be able to arrange the funeral you have in mind for your loved one.
If you’re looking for a traditional or contemporary funeral with a service, you should consider our Attended Funeral. If you want us to arrange a simple cremation without mourners present, our Unattended Funeral may better suit your needs.
View our Standardised Price List, Additional Options Price List and Crematoria Price List.
The Attended Funeral provides a tailored and dignified goodbye for your loved one. Whether traditional or contemporary, you can pay your respects in the supportive company of family and friends.
The Unattended Funeral is a lower cost option that allows family and friends to remember your loved one in their own way, without the need for a traditional service or ceremony.
Commemorate your loved one's life with a Memorial to keep their memory alive. Choose from a variety of options, from headstones, urns to memorial plaques, vases, benches, statues, jewellery, and more, allowing you to create something special that reflects their life, love, and cherished memories.

From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.
A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.
Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

Emma (Tamworth branch) was so lovely and helped with everything. Couldn’t fault her or her colleagues and the funeral directors on the day of my fathers funeral.
Many thanks
We are grateful of receiving your online review. I am pleased to hear the team looked after you and the family well. It has been a privilege to support your family and care for your father. We are proud of the whole team.
The service we received from Vicky at Tamworth was exceptional. She was so caring, compassionate and extremely professional from our very first meeting to the actual funeral service. She explained in detail everything we asked and went above and beyond in helping and supporting us all through a very sad and tremendously difficult time.
Vicky communicated so well at all times and kept us up to date with all arrangements.
The massive comfort was she came to Dad’s funeral too .. she knew what we had planned and also how important details were. To have her there meant the absolute word to me, Mum and the family. X
