Dyson Richards Funeral Directors

17/08/2025

🕰️ A Glimpse Into Funeral Directors' Traditional Attire Rooted in Victorian-era mourning customs, the classic funeral director’s look — black frock coat, striped trousers, and top hat — emerged as a symbol of dignity and professionalism during times of grief. In the 19th century, funerals followed strict etiquette, and undertakers dressed formally to mirror the seriousness of their role. Each element, from the frock coat’s solemn presence to the top hat’s authority, reassured families that their loved one’s farewell was in respectful hands.

🖤 Why Funeral Directors Still Wear Black This distinguished uniform remains iconic — not just for its symbolism, but for the comfort it provides grieving families. It represents centuries of care, tradition, and unwavering respect.

A Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne

Ozzy Osbourne is more than a rock icon—he’s a force of nature. From his groundbreaking days with Black Sabbath to his wild and unrelenting solo career, Ozzy has shaped the sound and spirit of heavy metal for over five decades. With his unmistakable voice, raw energy, and fearless attitude, he gave voice to the outcasts and rebels, turning darkness into art and chaos into legend.

Through battles with addiction, health scares, and personal demons, Ozzy never stopped performing, creating, and connecting. His resilience is as legendary as his music, inspiring generations to be unapologetically themselves.

Whether he’s the Prince of Darkness or a surprisingly tender reality TV dad, Ozzy remains one of a kind—louder than life, truer than ever.

Long live the legend. Long live Ozzy. 🖤

Birmingham Crematorium are pleased to announce they are bringing back “Summer Open Day” ☀️ WE will be there come along and say Hi

This will be an oppurtunity for you all to visit the historic and beautiful grounds. We do believe that there are many people that haven’t had the opportunity to see what we are so lucky to see every day!

The day will consist of a tour of the grounds led by the Business Leader Leon, a behind the scenes tour with Cremator Technician Steve and also fun activities with the memorial consultant Jacqueline, allowing you to plant some flowers or even painting a stone for the grounds.

The site was built in 1903 and we offer so much history! We ask that people take the time to visit, take in the history and ask any questions you may have.

There will be hot food and drinks available!

It would mean the world to us if you took the time to visit and see what we are working on in the grounds ❤️
