What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Funeral direction in Birmingham, delivered by this independent, family-run firm, is the service at the centre of the accounts left by bereaved families, and the care shown from the outset is the theme that surfaces most clearly. Various customers describe how staff came to the family home fully prepared with the information needed, guiding relatives through every decision at a painful moment. The order of service is singled out for matching what families had in mind, while the range of arrangements covered, including caskets and floral tributes, is mentioned as part of the planning.

Named members of the team, among them Sue, Andrew, Nicholas, Anne and Simon, are repeatedly credited with kindness, patience and attentiveness, and the same warmth extends to the wider staff, described as respectful, well presented and considerate. Reviewers note that practical matters were handled without fuss, with the cost of the funeral vehicles described as reasonable rather than inflated. The dignity maintained throughout the proceedings, and the sense that the burden was lifted from the family, come up often. Many of those writing had used the firm more than once or had been referred by relatives, which reflects the trust placed in the service.

I couldn’t recommend these any more, even if I tried. They were so kind, compassionate and attentive to every detail. Anne took care of everything and advised us at every stage. They made a very sad and upsetting time, a little easier. Thank you all xx

I cannot speak highly enough of AB Taylor Funeral Services. We recently used them for our Mum's funeral. From the very first contact they were totally professional and incredibly caring. Sue came out to the house ready with all the information we would need. She walked us through everything we needed to do, at what was an extremely difficult time. The order of service was beautiful and exactly what we had envisioned. On the day of the funeral everything ran like clockwork, we didn't have to worry about anything. The cars were superb, especially the Rolls Royce. They were very discrete and respectful. We would definitely recommend them.
