We’re thrilled to announce that our Sponsorship Board is now proudly displayed at Shrewsbury Town Football Club.

This week, Alan, James and Ben were invited to see the new Sponsorship Board in position and were treated to a tour, of the Stadium, from Steve and Dawn.

A big thank you, to Steve for his help and communication throughout!

We understand how important it is to say goodbye in a setting that feels personal, peaceful, and dignified. Our intimate 30-seat Service Chapel offers a warm and private space for families to gather and honour their loved ones.

As an alternative to a Crematorium Chapel, our Chapel provides a more personal environment for those seeking a quieter, more private farewell.

With the constant advertisement from online companies, we wanted to reassure our community we offer the exact same service but locally.

This type of Service is certainly not for most, however, if you were thinking about this option please take a look at the differences we offer below.

We would always encourage, contacting your local Funeral Director before making any final decision.

We would like to thank Premier Surfacing Contractors Ltd, Watson plant hire & H & G Ash Road Markings Ltd for all their effort and hard work, resurfacing our forecourt.

As you can see, this has made a huge difference.

Who was Frank to you?

A question, often, asked...
Here is our family-tree, showing the four generations.

We are proud to say we have served and supported our local community for over 85 years and would like to thank the families who have entrusted us to look after their loved ones, throughout this time.

Why do we walk in front of the hearse?

A question, commonly, asked…
We have maintained this tradition for decades; our funeral directors have always walked in front of the hearse, whether it is when we leave our premises, a special place to the individual or proceeding to their place of service, this gesture is about the respect of accompanying them on their final journey.
The purpose is not to slow you down or hold up anyone’s day but to give time to reflect, contemplate and mark the occasion.
All of our funeral directors, at Frank Painter & Sons, take huge pride in each procession and this will continue for years to come.
