We’ve created something special this year—a beautiful poppy waterfall flowing from our building, in honour of Remembrance Day.

This tribute is for everyone, if you feel you would like to contribute with a poppy, please come on into our Reception or leave a comment below, for us to attach one for you - for each poppy placed, we will be making a donation to the Royal British Legion.

Each poppy represents a life remembered, a sacrifice never forgotten. As they cascade gently down, they invite us all to pause, reflect, and give thanks to those who served.

Lest we forget.

Being part of the National Association of Funeral Directors is more than just a badge—it’s a reflection of our unwavering commitment to the highest standards of care, professionalism, and integrity in the Funeral Service Profession.

Membership in a national governing body like the NAFD also demonstrates our dedication to transparency and accountability. It means we welcome inspection, uphold strict codes of practice, and operate with openness in everything we do.

Families can trust that our services meet nationally recognised standards. This recognition reinforces our promise to support families with compassion and respect.

Thank you to our team for their hard work and to our local community for trusting us during life’s most difficult moments.

This short video shows how our premises has grown and changed since we first began, in 1933. From our original workshop to the modern premises we operate in 2025, you'll see the key stages of development that reflect our progress over more than 90 years. It's a quick look back at where we started.

Thank you all for your continued support, throughout these years.

We’re thrilled to announce that our Sponsorship Board is now proudly displayed at Shrewsbury Town Football Club.

This week, Alan, James and Ben were invited to see the new Sponsorship Board in position and were treated to a tour, of the Stadium, from Steve and Dawn.

A big thank you, to Steve for his help and communication throughout!

We understand how important it is to say goodbye in a setting that feels personal, peaceful, and dignified. Our intimate 30-seat Service Chapel offers a warm and private space for families to gather and honour their loved ones.

As an alternative to a Crematorium Chapel, our Chapel provides a more personal environment for those seeking a quieter, more private farewell.

With the constant advertisement from online companies, we wanted to reassure our community we offer the exact same service but locally.

This type of Service is certainly not for most, however, if you were thinking about this option please take a look at the differences we offer below.

We would always encourage, contacting your local Funeral Director before making any final decision.

Last week, whilst conducting a Service, at Westhope Natural Green Burial Ground, we were joined by some friendly locals.

We would like to thank Premier Surfacing Contractors Ltd, Watson plant hire & H & G Ash Road Markings Ltd for all their effort and hard work, resurfacing our forecourt.

As you can see, this has made a huge difference.

A question, often, asked...
Here is our family-tree, showing the four generations.

We are proud to say we have served and supported our local community for over 85 years and would like to thank the families who have entrusted us to look after their loved ones, throughout this time.
