    What a wonderful funeral directors from ringing up to arrange going in and sitting down and booking the funeral.
    When we went in and sat down with Philippa and talking to her and listening to you with interest at the most difficult time in someone’s life organising a funeral for a loved one. Then with Jimmy  who came in and organised dates for the funeral and then when we had the funeral and Jimmy lead the funeral with the team he had with him professionalism on this company from start to finish is incredible and would recommend to anyone who was looking to book a funeral it gives you a family environment and you are invited into the family and a difficult time.

  • 5 Simon Bond 16th May 2026

    Our deep thanks and appreciation firstly go to our Personal Funeral Advisor, Philippa Neville. Pip treated my husband and I with such professional courtesy at our first meeting but at the same time was deeply personal and made us smile which touched us both greatly. Even though not always in person, it felt like she held our hand throughout the whole process from start to finish.

    The funeral itself was perfect! Without exception, everyone who attended commented on how beautiful it was. The utmost professionalism, courtesy and consideration was shown by Jimmy and his team. They looked and acted impeccably!

    The eulogy was not only beautifully written but was also beautifully delivered by Joseph Evans the funeral celebrant.

    We wish to express our deepest thanks and heartfelt gratitude to all of you.

    Jennifer Ashe have really excelled. They’ve been absolutely phenomenal handling my mom’s final journey.

It’s made a situation that was extremely difficult that little more easier, and we will always be eternally grateful for that. Thank you 

  • 5 Phil Turner 28th Oct 2025

    Sadly we have recently organised our third funeral this year, all of which have been through Jennifer Ashe, Willenhall.  Many thanks to Philippa for her care and respect for our young son, father and mother and to Philippa and Angela for showing compassion during our difficult visits to the branch.
    Joseph is a wonderful young man, he has guided us through each service and has spoken beautifully of our loved ones.  Through unbelievable heartache, he has made extremely difficult conversations bearable.  Thank you Joe for your love, thoughtfulness and kindness.
    Jimmy has looked after us on our most difficult days.  Again, a wonderful young man, professional, caring and thoughtful.  
    Mr Ashe, you have a team of wonderful people. They are a credit to you and their profession.  Thank you for your impeccable service x

    An absolute pleasure to deal with, supportive and caring throughout the whole process. I can’t quite find the words to express how fantastic the team have been with us. Guidance, support, advice, and most importantly sympathetic! We were looked after by Philippa, Joe and Jimmy… safe to say by the end of the funeral they feel like part of the family 🤍 - thankyou guys from the bottom of our hearts. You’re amazing people xxx

  • 5 Jason Quilter 9th Sep 2025





    We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Phillippa for her kindness and caring guidance as we arranged the perfect funeral for our beautiful boy. As parents, we never expect to have to arrange our child’s funeral, but Phillippa was incredibly sensitive to the pain we were experiencing. Nothing was too much trouble for her, day or night, and she ensured that all our needs were met while we were grieving for our son.




    We would also like to thank Jimmy, who looked after us on the day and ensured everything ran smoothly. He answered all our questions and guided us through this most difficult time. We cannot recommend this funeral director’s highly enough. From beginning to end, they handled everything with the utmost professionalism and the highest standards possible. 




    We are truly grateful for all their support. Thank you for making our son's day perfect.

  • 5 Julie Humphries 17th Aug 2025

    I can't thank Jennifer Ashe & Son enough for the way they looked after me when I needed their services. From the minute I phoned them right to the day of the funeral they have been there for me every step of the way.
    Philippa at the Willenhall branch has been wonderful, always available if I've needed to ask anything and talked me through everything I needed to do.
    Steve, the funeral director on the day led the funeral with dignity and respect and really looked after all the family on the day.
    Joe also did an amazing job of being celebrant on the day. He provided us with a beautiful, touching service and it felt so personal to our loved one.
    Thank you so much to you all especially those who work in the background who I haven't named, you are all appreciated and well thought of.

  • 5 Andrea Duah 11th Aug 2025

    From start to finish, Jennifer Ashe & Son provided exceptional care, professionalism and compassion during such a difficult time for our family. Philippa was outstanding, organising the viewing, booklets, canvas, stationery and every detail with warmth and empathy. There were moments I felt completely overwhelmed, but Philippa and Jimmy’s guidance and great communication always reassured me.

    On the day, Jimmy’s caring leadership ensured everything ran smoothly and beautifully. The horse and carriage were stunning, the flowers exquisite, and the whole service was carried out with dignity and precision.

    We are so grateful to the entire team. Their organisation, attention to detail and genuine compassion made all the difference. I would wholeheartedly recommend Jennifer Ashe & Son to anyone seeking a truly professional, caring and trustworthy funeral director.
