Our Yardley funeral home has its own Service Venue. We have a large selection of memorial masonry for you to choose from.

William H Painter Funeral Directors was established in 1907 when William H Painter, the owner of a horse-drawn taxi business, was helping a friend who asked to be taken to the nearest undertaker. We now serve communities across Birmingham and Solihull from our funeral homes in Yardley, Castle Bromwich, Chelmsley Wood, Kings Heath, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield. We are also able to arrange additional works such as inscriptions and renovations on existing memorials, as part of our service, we will assist you with the completion and submission of the appropriate documentation. Our team will advise you at every stage, with a wide range of funeral options and transparent pricing. To talk to us about planning a funeral, please come and see us, or arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone.

The team at Andrew Grey Funeral Directors were proud to welcome more than 55 people to our Macmillan Coffee Morning at The Burn Inn, Houghton-le-Spring, raising an incredible £750 for Macmillan Cancer Support through coffee, cakes, raffles and community spirit.

For the team, the most rewarding aspect was seeing so many people come together for a worthy cause, while giving something back to a charity that means so much to many of the families they support.

A big thank you to everyone who attended, donated and supported the event.

Celebrating Jack's 90th Birthday & Retirement

Earlier this month, on 2nd October, Jack celebrated his 90th birthday, marking an incredible milestone in what has been a truly remarkable life and career.

After an astonishing 68 years in the funeral profession, beginning in 1958 and joining the Walker & Morrell family in 2002, Jack has now retired. Throughout his career, he has supported countless families with compassion, professionalism and kindness, making a lasting difference to the communities he served.

We would all like to thank Jack for his years of dedicated service, friendship and commitment. His contribution to both the profession and local communities has been invaluable, and his presence will be greatly missed.

April is Stress Awareness Month and we’re gently reminding ourselves to pause, breathe, and reconnect with what brings us peace. Together, let’s embrace a hearted approach, one rooted in kindness, empathy, and genuine community care.

How We Can Support Each Other This Month:

Share Small Acts of Kindness
A warm smile, a thoughtful message, or simply showing someone you’re listening can brighten their entire day.

Prioritise SelfNourishment
Rest, restore, and treat yourself with the same gentleness you offer others. Selfcare strengthens us all.

Stay Connected
Stress feels lighter when we support one another. Reach out, check in, and build a kinder, more compassionate community, together.

As we move through Stress Awareness Month, may we each take one small, loving step toward greater calm and connection.

What’s one gentle act of kindness you can offer today?
