Elizabeth Horton 20th Mar 2026

The service provided by Mortons Funeral Directors when our mother passed away was excellent. All staff were kind and considerate and were able to offer extremely helpful advice and assistance as we made our plans. On the day of the funeral, everyone was so reverent and determined to please. The attention to detail was impeccable. Everything went totally as planned and I don't think anything could have been improved on at all. The Order of Service booklets and memorial cards that were produced are so lovely and will be treasured by all of the family. I would highly recommend their services.

About Us

After Albert passed away in 1941, his wife Caroline took up the running of the family business until 1946 when their son Victor returned from service in the RAF. Victor maintained the high standards set by his father and continued to establish the business as one which could be relied upon to provide a level of service second to none. Victor and his wife Ivy had two sons - Grant and Miles - who were both destined to carry on the family tradition.

In 1982, as part of their development plans, Grant and Miles appointed Derek Case to assist them with the future development needs of Mortons. In the same year the Rubery office was opened, followed by the Cotteridge office some 12 years later.

By 2005 Derek Case had become Managing Director with a remit to steer Mortons in a modern and ever-changing world. His daughter, Sarah, had started working in a part-time capacity whilst completing her Law Degree. She joined in a full-time capacity when her studies were completed in 2005, thus starting another ‘family tradition’ albeit outside the original Morton family. Sarah now holds the position of Managing Director and is responsible for the day-to-day running of the company.

Mortons have recently purchased alternative vehicle companies and now own a wide selection of alternative funeral vehicles, Jaguar hearses and limousines, a Rolls Royce Hearse and limousine, a Mini Traveller Hearse, Morris Minor Hearse, an Austin Van hearse, Wheelchair accessible vehicle, split screen VW Hearse and bay window VW Hearse, with even more options available soon.

Mortons continue to make investments in their staff recruitment, training, and uniforms, together with improvements to their facilities and the vehicles they use. They have recently completed a major refurbishment of all offices, and remain focused on buying ethically, and British, wherever possible.

Mortons Funeral Directors in Northfield pride themselves on a rigorous in-house training program for staff and promise that your call will always be answered by a member of the team, with a duty Funeral Director available 24 hours a day.

    The service we received from the moment I made the initial call to Morton’s in Northfield was exceptional. At our meeting with them they were patient & understanding at was a very difficult and emotional time. They talked us through every stage & I felt extremely confident that my mother’s funeral would a fitting tribute to such a wonderful mum. Thank you so much to Steve and all the staff involved. 

  • 5 Jane Workman 17th Feb 2026

    Losing a loved one is a very sad & difficult time, but Mortons guided and helped us through the whole process of arranging Mum's funeral with ease. They are very professional, efficient and made sure everything went to plan and ran smoothly on the day of the funeral. We also used Mortons 10 years ago for Dad's funeral and they gave the same excellent service then. I would highly recommend Mortons as your Funeral Directors.

  • 5 Nathan Williams 8th Feb 2026

    We are incredibly grateful for the compassion and professionalism shown by the entire team especially Sarah. Everything was handled with care, dignity, and attention to detail.


    The unique bespoke hearse made the service feel personal and memorable. We were supported throughout and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Morton’s

  • 5 Ellouise King 29th Jan 2026

    During a very difficult time, Selena was truly excellent in  making the arrangements for my dad’s funeral feel so easy and so personal. 

    Neil, who was in attendance on the day, was a calm, respectful, and provided a supportive presence. 

    All in all, I would not hesitate to recommend Mortons to any family in need of a funeral director who offers such a truly personal and compassionate service.

  • 5 Paul Furness 1st Jan 2026

    Excellent compassionate service with very good communication 

  • 5 Ping Ding 12th Nov 2025

  • 5 Marie Gibson 11th Nov 2025

    On behalf of my husband and myself I’d like to say that our funeral director (Neil Fretwell) has made a difficult time so much more bearable. His respectful, kind, caring nature was shown from the very first meeting and continued through out. We could not have gotten through this without him. 
    He has shown respect towards our Father from start to finish and it was noted by all of our guests at the funeral. The professionalism and respect shown by Neil is a testament to Morton’s, and we will, and have already referred him to other friends and family. 
    It was comforting to know that such a respectful person (Neil) along with other members of Morton staff, took the time, effort and care to ensure our father was looked after whilst in their care. 
    We thank Neil from the bottom of our hearts for being a true gentleman and ensuring our difficult journey was made easier. 
    Matt and Marie Gibson. 

  • 5 Phil Carty 8th Nov 2025

    The professionalism, compassion and understanding displayed by both Selena and the team during the cremation and burial of my brother made my journey much easier. My wishes were met completely and I am grateful for all the help given during this difficult time for my family. 

  • 5 Penny Thompson 8th Nov 2025

    Right from our first contact all staff at Mortons were kind and thoughtful. They were gentle and supportive and very understanding.
    We as a family really appreciated thier professionalism and their genuine care of us all at a difficult time

  • 5 Richard Boissonade 3rd Nov 2025

    The service we had was excellent. From our first visit there to the service and beyond the service we received was 'above and beyond the call of duty'. Mortens treated us with such kindness and gave us great support during what is a very difficult time. I would really like to thank Mike Bennett and his staff especially on the day of the Funeral.I was very moved when he and Kathyrn Day who was the Celebrant gave my partner Clair words of comfort and support just before the service and offered to give one of neighbours a lift to the wake We have used Mortons before and I would recomend them to anybody

  • 5 Mick Jones 14th Jul 2025

    Great service with Mike Bennett leading the team. Highly professional, compassionate. Great care given to Sue's mom who is 96 years old. If we had questions they answered them and contributed to the solutions giving us great confidence in them
    We have always used Mortons and this convinced us we were right.

  • 5 Paul Handford 24th Mar 2025

    My family used Mortons Funeral Directors in April 2020 for my late father. So impressed by the professionalism of Mortons, that following the recent death of my mother, the family asked Mortons to undertake the funeral arrangements again.
    From the moment you walk in to Mortons Funeral Directors Offices in Northfield (Head Office), the whole environment gives one a sense of professionalism and purpose. Very impressive!
    Greeted by a welcoming receptionist, my brother and I were met by Denise Williams the Funeral Arranger. Denise showed great empathy and went through the early stages of the funeral arrangements.
    Throughout the funeral arrangements nothing was too much trouble for Denise. Highly professional and always communicating and updating me with the necessary information, including, as promised, the arrival of my mother’s body from the QE Hospital to Mortons, which was very reassuring.
    On the day before my mother’s funeral, Neil telephoned me and informed me he was to lead the funeral cortege and that he wished to go through all the necessary details for the funeral. I.e. confirming the time of arrival of the cortege, the requested route to the cemetery, the order of service and chosen music and hymns. This was again very reassuring.
    On the day of the funeral, Neil again explained, reassuringly, everything concerning the journey and the service and it must be said, Neil and his team were extremely smart in appearance, and with much empathy ensured our mother’s funeral service was a wonderful and memorable send-off! Thank you Denise and all at Mortons!

  • 5 Charlotte Leppington 13th Mar 2025

    I cannot thank all the staff at Motons Funeral Directors, Northfield enough for all.of their care, help and support whilst arranging the funeral for our Mom Margaret.
    Their attention to detail and guidance was brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, and they just made the process so easy in the most difficult of times.
    I would not hesitate to recommend them.

  • 5 Carol Hall 28th Feb 2025

    We've used Morton's on 2 previous occasions and now, following the death of my father we had full confidence in their ability to repeat a wonderful level of service aligned to a caring and sympathetic approach to matters 'on the day'. We fully endorse and commend their work which they carry through in such a professional, thoughtful and considerate manner - through the whole process they made a sad occasion so much easier for us all to deal with. The whole team at Morton's are kind, thoughtful, professional and caring in every way. I would highly recommend them to see you gently through this whole process.

  • 5 Joyce Powell 26th Feb 2025

    We found ourselves in the unbearable situation where our dad died 3 days after my mom’s funeral. I did not hesitate to call Neil, who collected Dad out of hours and from that moment on anticipated what we wanted. Morton’s created a beautiful visual tribute which everyone commented on at the funeral.

  • 5 Joyce Powell 26th Feb 2025

    Mortons came out of hours to collect Mom and from that moment on looked after everyone and our needs. Neil was on hand to answer any questions and was compassionate and professional.

  • 5 Siobhan Harrington 23rd Feb 2025

    Morton's Funeral Directors have arranged both my grandparents funerals, and as a family we would highly recommend them.

    Most recently regarding my Nan's funeral, they made the process as simple as possible. Right from the first phone call, when we arranged collection of her body, we found every person we dealt with at Morton's to be caring, compassionate and at all times professional.

    We were able to book in a meeting with a funeral director when it suited us best. Steve was really helpful and informative, he also went to the effort of looking up the details of my grandad's funeral he had arranged in 2000 in case we wanted to mirror anything in my Nan's service. A extra special touch that really resonated with us. They helped us secure a date for my Nan's funeral and location that was special and relevant to the family.

    We were kept up to date with everything and it was made really clear what decisions we needed to make and timescales involved. They accommodated multiple Chapel of Rest visits for different family members to say their goodbyes to my nan.

    The day of her funeral everything seemed effortless, which is exactly what you want from a funeral directors, as the day should be about saying your goodbyes with no additional stresses. They treated her with respect and care on her final journey. It was a very fitting send off. I can't praise Morton's enough for what they have done for our family.

  • 5 michelle smith 10th Nov 2024

    "We received exceptional service from Mortons. 24 years ago, they provided outstanding care for our father, and because of that experience, we had no hesitation in turning to them again when our mother passed. The professionalism, empathy, and compassion they showed us during such a difficult time were truly remarkable. Their thoughtful attention to every detail made a challenging experience a little easier to bear. We are deeply grateful for the care and support they provided to our family."

  • 5 Karen Gould 1st Nov 2024

  • 5 Keith Pakes 30th Oct 2024
