About Us
We are an independent family owned & run funeral directors, established in 1894 ~ serving the families of the West Midlands and further afield for over 130 years.
Our Company was founded in 1894 by Sidney Webb in Upper High Street, Wednesbury where our Head Office and Chapels of Rest can still be found today. We are the fourth generation of direct descendants of Sidney Webb still owning and running the business today. Johnathan, the eldest of Sidney Webb’s Great-grandson’s joined the company in 1983, followed by his three brothers, Tim soon after in 1985, Toby in 1988 and finally Sandy in 2003. Sadly, Johnathan passed away in 2025, but Tim, Toby and Sandy are fully involved in the day to day running of the business, with Tim’s wife Kay running the office and their son Tom, being the fifth generation working full time.
When Sidney first opened in the December of 1894, he soon gained a reputation of having the finest Belgian Black horses to lead his bespoke Victorian hearses and mourner’s carriages. This is a reputation that has carried on through the generations and our current fleet of Bentley Flying Spur Hearse and Limousines are amongst the finest funeral vehicles in the country.
We are extremely proud of the business our Great-grandfather established all those years ago and have built upon those early foundations providing the utmost level of service, advice, guidance and choice. Giving our families the best care and support whilst arranging their loved one’s funeral.
