We are a truly independent Undertaker based in Birmingham a business started by Carrie Weekes and Frances Glover two friends, each with different reasons for becoming undertakers, but united by a single thought that this can be done differently.
We cover most of Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
Having attended and arranged a number of funerals we both felt that to a certain extent funerals had lost the human touch. The traditional black sombre funerals, the keeping of the body at arms length, the uniforms and procedure that so often accompany a funeral ceremony, have overpowered our need to grieve in ways that are right for us.
Our aims:
- to help people through a stage in life, which, while crushingly sad, is after all a normal and natural part of life.
- to help people remember their friends and relatives without expectation or guilt.
- to use those moments between death and final memorial to say their farewells in ways they themselves can be proud of.
A truly good funeral is achievable whatever your budget: there should be no expectation about size and scale. There are many things that have become part and parcel of a funeral that really arent needed. Well help you understand what you need versus what you might want, and together well help you and your friends create a farewell that feels relevant to the person who has died.
One that you can really feel proud of.
Why were A Natural Undertaking
- Undertaking (although little used these days) covers the entire time from death to memorial. We dont just focus on the funeral.
- Death is a normal and natural part of life painful as it is. We help people to live through a natural event as smoothly as possible and with as much kindness and humanity as we can give
- The term funeral pre-supposes that thats what people want we dont want to pre-suppose anything so we prefer not to place too much emphasis on the word funeral
- We will offer ethical and ecological choices as the norm because thats just natural but our focus is to ensure you have that choice, not to encourage you down any particular path
