David at Erdington branch was so supportive at the most difficult time. He explained everything we needed to know without overwhelming us and guided us with compassion at every step. We found it much easier to arrange everything through Painters; celebrant, flowers, order of service etc. it took a lot of the stress out of a very difficult time. A couple of days before the service, Susie our Funeral Director for the service, called to introduce herself and explain what would be happening on the day. She looked after us on the day and guided us each step of the way and we were able to have the service we wanted. When we went to bring dad’s ashes home, we were again welcomed warmly by David who put us at ease and again supported us through the difficult experience.

A very professional service was provided by David and all the members of the team. We felt very comfortable that the arrangements would be handled with care and dignity and we, as a family, were very grateful for their attention to detail and hard work in making sure the day of the funeral ran smoothly. I cannot praise them enough.

Jeanette Husselbee at William H Painter, Castle Bromwich came highly recommended to my family to help organise my Father's funeral. Jeanette made the entire experience totally painless she helped and supported us throughout the entire process. She designed a beautiful order of service for us and everybody said it was one of the nicest they had ever seen!! We as a family have no problem in recommending Jeanette to other families that may be going through this terrible ordeal. Jeannette once again thank you for everything you did for us and helping us give my Father a wonderful send off - from myself and the Burns family x

A huge thank you to Emma Welch and the William H Painter Yardley team for their exceptional and professional service in caring for my Nan and arranging her funeral. Everything they did for us was perfect, and their support made an extremely difficult day much easier. I will continue to recommend their services to others in need.

Emma and Helen could not have been more helpful in the organising of my Aunt's funeral at the Solihull Branch. The second time the family have used the services of William H Painter. The day ran smoothly with Trevor, the service just as we had requested with no issue at all. The celebrant Jackie was just so helpful too. Thank you so much we are so grateful that you made my Aunt's celebration of life a memorable one to all. Julie & Jim and family.

Emma in your office/ shop is absolutely brilliant. She and the funeral director on the day both did their job with complete care and sensitivity.

Emma dealt with the Funeral of my father in March 2019 and I had no doubts to return on the death of my mother in November 2022. She is excellent. She guided us through the process and we felt a weight had been lifted on our return home. The communication and attention to fine detail meant the funeral ran perfectly and gave a dear mother a good send off. The Reverend was also excellent and they worked together well. On the day of the funeral Victoria took control and handled the procedure and family very well.Thankyou.

I would like to mention that the support received from Julie Kilby has been superb. Julie has been incredibly helpful and sensitive throughout all of this and has always made herself available to speak with us when needed. Julie has been excellent in guiding and supporting us and has provided a really efficient service. I would also very much like to thank Katie and her team on the actual funeral day whom we also thought were excellent. Many thanks.

Our mother's funeral was handled so professionally by Julie and the team, and we cannot thank them enough. Frankie Campbell, the celebrant they recommended was so gentle and kind to us, and also managed to deliver the most beautiful service, which made the funeral into a celebration of a life well lived. The Orders of Service were lovely, and we were hand held every step of the way. Being able to spend time with mom before the service was also dealt with empathetically and the personal touches that they had taken the time to do truly touched us. Forever grateful and we would definitely recommend.

Excellent service from all the team, all done with such dignity and compassion. From collecting Dad from his house when he past away to the whole funeral service. Suzie from the Chelmsley and Castle Brom branch is a credit to the team. She looked after me with such kindness and answered every phone call/email with precision (and there was a lot of them) The day of the funeral ran so smoothly and was conducted just how we wanted and was a beautiful service.

Your team were exceptional. From the gentleman who collected my father and moving him to your establishment, Karen, who is so caring and understanding and always kept me updated with either a phone call or email. The lovely Katie who was with us on the day of the funeral (apologises I do not know the drivers name), absolute treasure she was. Making sure I had not forgot my fathers pictures from the service. Frankie the celebrant. She was amazing and truly kind and witty. Everyone that I have made contact with at William H Painters have been so professional and made my saddest time so much bearable. Thank you to everyone from myself and family

Faultless service from start to finish with genuine, caring staff. The Chapel of Rest at Yardley is simply beautiful. We visited twice and on both occasions the lady knocked the door very gently and whispered ‘hello *name*, you have a visitor’. This was such a wonderful touch, so respectful. Please continue to do this for families. On the day of the funeral itself, the staff were courteous, helpful and highly professional but everything was done with a very friendly and human touch which we appreciated. They made a difficult day bearable. Special thank you to Katie (Yardley) and Emma (Dovehouse) for all that you did and I’m glad we chose Painters to look after our dad x

I can’t recommend the Yardley branch highly enough. The staff we dealt with, Helen and Katie, were absolutely fantastic. They helped guide us through the whole process, they were professional but at the same time very friendly and caring. They put us at ease and made the process of arranging dad’s funeral so simple, which is just what we needed as we have never done this before. They genuinely made us feel like we were important and that the care of dad was their top priority. Every single time I spoke to them they asked how we were and how mom was doing. I just can’t fault them and I’d be more than happy for them to take care of me when the time comes!
