Happy New Year from our family to yours 🎉🎩❤️

As we prepare to count down the clock and close the door on 2025. Here’s a reflection of the year gone by. We cannot thank you all enough for your support, loyalty and continued trust. We are so proud to serve our local communities in their time of need. As we celebrate tonight, we remember all those who have gone before us, in the knowledge that they too are celebrating from above 😇♥️

2025 was a landmark year for The Gaunt Family as we celebrated 125 years of caring for families. We have worked hard to grow our well established roots into new communities to continue to provide the first class funeral service we are known for.

This year again we had a record number of families attend our Christmas Remembrance Service at Lifecentral Church. We raised more vital funds for many charities including Birmingham Children's Hospital and Charity, KEMP Hospice, Birmingham Christmas Shelter, numerous Schools and Grass Roots Football Teams and Bewdley Rotary. 🙏🎈♥️

We celebrated special birthdays, qualifications and anniversaries and we sadly also felt the loss of some family and friends along the way 😢💔

Our proudest moment this year has to be the acquisition of our 7th funeral home Caldicotts Funerals - Gaunts of Tenbury Wells previously (A H Caldicott & Sons) which firmly seals our growing presence across Worcestershire and Shropshire and allows us to care for even more families in their time of need. Graham Caldicott and his team remain a vital part of the business and will continue to serve the families of Tenbury with the same level of care and expertise his family has since 1919.

We proudly welcomed new members to our family and team and we are excited for whatever 2026 has in store for us. 🤩

Another huge thank you to our dedicated staff, suppliers and friends. Without you, none of what we have achieved this year would be possible. 🎩💙

We want to send special wishes to all our families and friends who are entering 2026 trying to navigate through whatever challenges the New Year will bring. Please remember you are not alone. 🥰

From our family to yours, Happy New Year. We hope 2026 brings you peace, happiness and joy 🙏🎆🎉❤️

Love from all at

At the eleventh hour, on the eleventh day on the eleventh month - we will remember them.

They shall grow not old,
As we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning,
We will Remember them.

Thank you to all our soldiers, past and present for your service may God bless you all 🇬🇧🌹❤️

🧡 Community Matters 🧡

Today, our Funeral Director Jack had the privilege of visiting St James's Primary School PTFA to present a £500 donation on behalf of our team.

This contribution will support the school in reaching their fundraising goal to refurbish the Key Stage 2 toilets. A much needed improvement that will benefit so many children.
