Photos have a gentle way of bringing someone close again. Their smile, their laugh, a place they loved.

Today, on World Photography Day, we’re thinking of the pictures we treasure of those no longer with us. The ones that say so much without words.

If there’s a photo of someone special that brings you comfort, we’d love to hear the story behind it.💚📸

Thinking about a direct cremation?

Choosing a local funeral director means:
✔️ Your loved one stays close to home, and rests at our funeral home.
✔️ You can speak to someone face-to-face, you won’t have to deal with a call centre or fill in online forms.
✔️ You can choose to visit your loved one in our Chapel of Rest and have them dressed in their clothes. This personal service is not provided by the national companies.
✔️ The cremation will take place here in Birmingham. The deceased won’t be taken far away to a large mortuary and crematorium facility.
✔️ We can help you choose a special ashes urn or beautiful keepsake to treasure forever.

When you choose Thomas Furber & Co. instead of a national direct cremation provider, you get a personal, caring and local service.
