A.J. Sellman Family Funeral Directors

28/11/2025

Families often ask us what makes the biggest difference in times of loss.

The answer is simple: being there, for each other.

We believe that when we look after each other, we’re stronger for the families that we care for when they need us.

During the hardest of times, we’ll be by your side with care, compassion and support.

‘Together, Always” is one of our values.

It reminds us that by supporting one another as a team, we can bring calm, comfort and strength to the families we serve whenever they need us.

Discover how A.J. Sellman Family Funeral Directors support families with unwavering care. “Together, Always” reflects our commitment to compassion and comfort.

A direct cremation should be affordable and dignified. When you choose a simple farewell, it should still feel right. Our purely direct cremation service is personal, local, and caring from start to finish and often more affordable than well known national providers.

As Remembrance Day approaches on November 11th, the team at AJ Sellman are proud to join the national tribute by wearing their poppies throughout the week.

This deeply personal gesture is a meaningful way for our staff to honour the immense sacrifices made by the Armed Forces community, both past and present.

Working with When Life Changes and Dr Bill Webster, who is recognised internationally for his compassionate practical approach to grief support, this video explains our partnership and how we hope to support our community.

In the future we will host a free webinar with Dr Bill Webster, who will talk about grief. The online event will give people the opportunity to hear practical advice, share experiences, and learn about the support available within the community. “Grief is a natural process, but it can be hard to understand,” says Dr Bill. “This webinar aims to help people recognise what they’re feeling, find language for their experience, and discover ways to move forward.”

Dates to be confirmed.

Grief can make us feel as though someone has been taken away forever.

But love continues to walk quietly beside us, every single day. Their presence is felt in moments big and small, unseen but always near.

At AJ Sellman, we’re here to walk with you too. Every family we care for receives free access to the When Life Changes bereavement programme, offering gentle support long after the funeral.

Because love never dies — and neither does care.

Family is everything that we are about and looking after families in our community when they need us most.

Whilst we (Ed & Ralph) are the face of Sellmans, and normally wearing black, our parents George and Miranda cared for the bereaved in years gone by at A.J. Sellman.

Last week we were delighted to celebrate Miranda's 80th birthday in Mallorca. As a 6th generation family business we hope to serve the local people of Cannock, Cheslyn Hay, Great Wyrley, Penkridge and the surrounding areas for many years to come.

Grief doesn’t follow a timetable, and neither should care. That’s why we provide the When Life Changes bereavement support programme that we are making available free of charge to every family we care for.

Because we know that support after the funeral is just as important as care on the day itself.

"We know how difficult it is to lose a loved one and we’re delighted to offer support to our families through the When Life Changes programme" - Ed from Sellmans.

Grief doesn’t have a timetable – and you don’t have to face it alone.

We understand how difficult it can be to find time and space to process loss. That’s why A.J. Sellman has partnered with Dr. Bill Webster and When Life Changes to offer online bereavement counselling – compassionate, professional support from the comfort of your own home to the families we care for.

Whether you’re in Cannock, Penkridge, Cheslyn Hay, or anywhere in Staffordshire, help is available when you need it most.
