Exciting News! We're incredibly proud to announce that H. Porter & Sons is now officially a B Corp Certified business, placing us in a global community of companies dedicated to using commerce as a force for good.

The certification follows an in-depth assessment of the way we treat employees, the families in our care, the local community and the environment.

As a firm with over 180 years of heritage, it's a real honour to be verified as meeting B Lab’s high standards. In fact, there are only a handful of funeral directors in the UK to have completed B Corp Certification.

But B Corp Certification is not an end goal in itself. For us it means striving for continuous improvement to uphold these vital standards. We look forward to this ongoing journey!

Tea for two and two for tea. Join us for a brew and a slice of cake in The Lounge at Old Church House, Stourbridge, this August to help raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Now. We're taking part in the charity's Afternoon Tea 2025 on the 15th of the month between 1.30pm and 3.30pm.

Breast Cancer Now is working hard to ensure everyone who develops breast cancer by 2050 survives. Many of us have been and will be touched by this devastating disease, and at H. Porter & Sons we're determined to do all we can to help our community fight back.

If you would like to come along to the Afternoon Tea, please call 01384 395048 to book a table. We'd love to see you there.

It's nice to escape sometimes! And escape we did during a series of special team-building sessions aimed at promoting a positive, collaborative culture at H. Porter & Sons.

Over two days last week, separate teams took it in turns to challenge the grey matter at our local escape rooms. It was great fun and something we highly recommend for any team looking to foster partnership and community in an engaging way.

More importantly, this shared experience will have a tangible impact on how we pull together to support families in their moment of grief.

We like to think we're a winning team at H. Porter & Sons, going the extra mile for the families in our care. But it turns out we're not bad at quizzes either! Last night colleagues took part in a special quiz for local funeral directors at Waseley Hills Crematorium near Rubery... and came first, bagging a glittering trophy and a bottle of champagne!

Well done, all! It was a great way to unwind and relax after a busy week. We're also grateful to Westerleigh Group, which runs the Waseley Hills site, for hosting such an enjoyable event.

Following our recent visit by trade association SAIF independent funeral directors's Quality Assurance team, we've now received our certificate of inspection. This will be proudly displayed in our reception area to highlight the standards we follow at H. Porter & Sons.

During the visit, the inspector reviewed our mortuary procedures, recordkeeping, estimates and invoicing practices, suitability of staff, condition of equipment and much more.

If you are shopping around for a funeral director, always ensure you choose a business that is a member of a trade association like SAIF or the NAFD. This will give you the peace of mind that they adhere to minimum standards and have a redress process in place if things don't go according to plan.

We welcome external scrutiny of our operations as part of our commitment to continual improvement on behalf of the families we serve.

It's been an absolute privilege to welcome University of Worcester student Felicity to H. Porter & Sons this week for work experience in our modern, state-of-the-art mortuary. Felicity, who is studying for a BSc in Forensic Science and Applied Biology, gained valuable insights into deceased care from our mortuary technician Vivien. Thank you, Felicity, for showing such enthusiasm and sensitivity during your time with us this week - we hope it has been useful for your degree and future career.
