In October 2014, John M said about J. Howell & Daughters Ltd - Lichfield Funeral Directors
Howell and daughters were chosen by my late mother as the funeral directors of choice.
As a family we have had no prior dealings with the company to judge performance by.
Like yourself I wanted only the very best for my loved one and as Howell and Daughters for 3 years (as of 2014) as independent directors my research into them did not reveal much to assess them with.
As per my mothers wishes Howells were entrusted with taking care of proceedings.
The phone call we all dread was made. Shortly after I was greeted at my mothers home by a smart polite gentleman Mr Jonathan Howell. Neither Jonathan or his assistant were the stereotypical somber faced clammy personnel associated with the trade. Somehow they have the balance of expression spot on and made me feel fully at ease in there presence. Initial paperwork was completed and arrangements made for a second visit to discuss our individual requirements.
My meeting with Jonathan was relaxed though remained formal. Questions were asked in such a way as to cause minimal distress and all the required information was gathered from what seemed like a general chat rather than a hard faced questioning.
The day of the funeral could not have run more smoothly.
The immaculate hearse Jonathan and his team arrived right on time.
Smartly dressed as you'd expect Jonathan came to our door
It was obvious who was actually directing the funeral by the highly polished cane and top hat. Both items I have seen left out by other directors in the past.
Upon arrival at church I was discreetly kept informed of proceedings and what was coming next. The reason for this was I had asked if I could shoulder my mothers coffin into and out of church myself with the assistance of Jonathan's expert team of bearers.
There was an additional bearer present on standby should I have changed my mind at any point.
The whole process from that initial phone call up to saying our goodbyes on the day of the funeral was made so much easier thanks to Howell and Daughters professional team.
I would personally recommend that you entrust your loved one to Howells care and remove most of the stress from your most difficult time

Pamela created a beautiful coffin spray incorporating stephanotis. This was a request from our loving mum. The pillows were beautiful too with an extra special momento.
Friendly person who went the extra mile to make the flowers personal.

Pam created a beautiful bouquet for a 75th birthday, plus, she also has helium celebration balloons that you can purchase there and then. Great service and value.
