This Tamworth funeral home provides a full range of funeral services, led by caring funeral director Amanda Woodward.

On call 24-hours a day to support people when someone dies, the funeral home, located in Upper Gungate, is part of the Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service, which has been helping bereaved families for more than 125 years and won a Good Funeral Award in 2016 for its caring bereavement support services.

The Tamworth funeral directors are members of the National Association of Funeral Directors, members of the Funeral Planning Authority and also members of British Institute of Embalmers, helping families to arrange the traditional or personalised funeral that is most fitting for their loved one.

Amanda and her caring team can also help with online obituaries, memorial masonry and special keepsakes including fingerprint jewellery. Its chapels of rest provide peaceful space for quiet moments of reflection, while the Tamworth funeral home can also accommodate the reception or wake. Its facilities include a catered function space with a licensed bar, with plenty of on-site parking available to accommodate mourners and sympathisers.

On call to help families from the moment they are bereaved, the Tamworth funeral directors are here to listen and provide support with all aspects of the funeral arrangements, including negotiating paperwork and the provision of online obituaries and traditional funeral stationery.

Call this Tamworth funeral home at any time of day or night to begin making funeral arrangements with compassionate support, at a very difficult time.
