A Natural Undertaking

If anyone needs any bubble wrap please get in touch!
We're always trying to manage our environmental footprint, and whilst coffin suppliers have reduced the amount of packaging they use we still get bits of bubble wrap from time to time- so if anyone local can help us by ensuring this isn't used just once we'd be really pleased to give it to you!

Our next open evening will be taking place at our Kings Heath premises on Tuesday 29th September 2026 7-9pm.
Since we started our business in 2014, we have encouraged people to ask the questions that no one wants to ask, to find out more about what will happen to ‘their mom’ when she arrives, to come inside and look at what a mortuary should look like and to see how it should operate.
This is how families will really know what care will be provided and whether a particular funeral director is the right one for them.
Places are free, but limited (we're small but perfectly formed!) so call on 01214440437 to reserve a space.

Join us at A Natural Undertaking when we fling open our doors again and welcome you to ask the questions that never get asked - but should!

It’s our 4th and final day here at Touchwood. We might not be what you’re expecting to see at a shopping centre but over the last few days we’ve had some brilliant conversations 💬- we’ve even been told by a few people that we made their day! 🎉
So if you’re nearby do come over and have a chat, ask us about doing funerals differently and you might be surprised what you find out.

With us today are:
Am: Celebrant Kathryn Day and the team from Birmingham Hospice
Pm: End of Life Doula Helen Juffs, Celebrant Emma Dunleavy-Dale and Bina Lad from Child Bereavement UK

And hopefully we'll run into you at some of the other incredible events being held. 😍

We loved working with Victorian Carriages and their beautiful horses Frank and Paddy. And it was very kind of them to leave us a little present on the pavement. Which we used to keep our Brandwood Buzz flower box healthy! All part of our greener funerals promise 😄
