About Us

This Tamworth funeral home provides a full range of funeral services, led by caring funeral director Amanda Woodward.

On call 24-hours a day to support people when someone dies, the funeral home, located in Upper Gungate, is part of the Tamworth Co-operative Funeral Service, which has been helping bereaved families for more than 125 years and won a Good Funeral Award in 2016 for its caring bereavement support services.

The Tamworth funeral directors are members of the National Association of Funeral Directors, members of the Funeral Planning Authority and also members of British Institute of Embalmers, helping families to arrange the traditional or personalised funeral that is most fitting for their loved one.

Amanda and her caring team can also help with online obituaries, memorial masonry and special keepsakes including fingerprint jewellery. Its chapels of rest provide peaceful space for quiet moments of reflection, while the Tamworth funeral home can also accommodate the reception or wake. Its facilities include a catered function space with a licensed bar, with plenty of on-site parking available to accommodate mourners and sympathisers.

On call to help families from the moment they are bereaved, the Tamworth funeral directors are here to listen and provide support with all aspects of the funeral arrangements, including negotiating paperwork and the provision of online obituaries and traditional funeral stationery.

Call this Tamworth funeral home at any time of day or night to begin making funeral arrangements with compassionate support, at a very difficult time.

  • 5 Leanne Leishman 8th Apr 2025

    Mandy did an amazing job organising Mum’s funeral as it wasn’t straight forward or local. I can’t thank her enough or anyone else who was involved. We were guided through everything on the day and Mum had a lovely send off. 
    Apart from a mix up with the ashes & the flowers were very poor, everything else went smoothly. This is the third time we’ve used this company. 

  • 5 Linda Packer 4th Apr 2025

    I cannot praise Tamworth Co-operative funeral services enough for the way they handled our heartbreaking loss. A big thank you to you all, especially Mandy for her support

  • 5 Richard Goode 29th Mar 2025

    Very well done thanks for respect and kindness

  • 5 Ann Jones 29th Mar 2025

    We met with Mandy initially to arrange my mom’s funeral; she was helpful, friendly and sympathetic. She organised everything we wanted, with the help of Leah.
    We visited mom at the parlour, she looked lovely and very peaceful, holding onto her shopping bag & lipstick.
    The funeral day ran smoothly, Tommy and his team were amazing (even taking apart dad’s walker & putting it back together, to fit it in the car!) .
    The whole process was without fault. I can’t thank the team enough ❤️

  • 5 Eileen Henderson 28th Mar 2025

    Thank you all went well
    we had the best support you could have wished for starting from a night call out
    to office visit, thank you Dawn and all the staff behind the scene.
    The church and cemetery was also done with a lot of love and care from the co-op team. many thanks again.

  • 4 David Boal 18th Mar 2025

    Everything I was really happy with apart from the burial where dad was placed into the ground before relatives had even made it to the plot hence missing him being put into the ground

  • 5 Louise Camps 10th Mar 2025

    Could not recommend enough! Unfortunately we lost our Dad on the 2nd February.
    Dawn and Shelly were very helpful and nothing was too much trouble.
    After having last minute plans changed, they still ensured my Dad had an amazing send of and were very understanding of our situation. They were both very sympathetic and reassuring throughout, with amazing communication.

    Can't thank you both enough x
    Many thanks

    Everything was handled with care dignity from start to finish. All of our requests were dealt with quickly and efficiently. A very professional service and a very difficult time for us was made just that little bit easier with the professionalism of all the staff.

  • 5 Paul Young 17th Feb 2025

    Fantastic and friendly service. They made us feel comfortable from the start and were superb on the day of the funeral.

  • 5 Margaret Dennis 11th Feb 2025

  • 5 Jane Hughes 14th Jan 2025

    The whole team were lovely , empathetic and kind ,however 2 staff members really stood out . They were Mandy , who was patient and wanted everything perfect for us as a family , and Kerry, who on the day of the funeral was also informative, did not rush us at any point and nothing was too much trouble . Well done to Tamworth funeral Care . I would definitely recommend them to family and friends . 

  • 5 Joy Hambridge 1st Jan 2025

  • 5 Steven Ludlow 23rd Dec 2024

    Excellent

  • 5 Hilary Archer 20th Dec 2024

    Reg's funeral was conducted with dignity and care. The horse drawn herse was truly amazing and a fitting tribute to someone who loved horses. Every detail and wishes were all performed at the highest level. Thank you all for the care and love you showed us, especially Janice at this sad time.

  • 4 Susan Asbury 10th Nov 2024

    The whole team were lovely from calling to collect my father's body to meeting in their offices, and guidance and support on the day.  The cars were immaculate and perfect for my Dad (he loved Jaguar cars).  
    The only thing that would have made the total service excellent is if the management of all the funeral music was managed by the team.  We had to organise the music for the church, which was fine but during these difficult times, it would have been nice to just be able to send all music information to the team and not have to worry about again.  That said, we were very happy , thank you to the whole Co-op team 

  • 5 Faith Lynn 8th Nov 2024

    Absolutely perfect, everything went to plan, everyone involved were all so helpful and friendly

  • 5 Gareth JONES 3rd Nov 2024

    Really well planned service
