Independent Family Funeral Directors since 1856
The Bastock family have been funeral directors for over 160 years. Over seven generations we have built an enviable reputation for the excellence of the funerals we arrange. Our company has never stood still and we constantly seek to improve on what we do and the choices we provide.
Our objective has never changed, we strive to provide the best possible funeral at the most reasonable cost. In 2001 we opened our new purpose built funeral home in Olton, Solihull. Our investment ensures the facilities we have are without compromise. The bespoke design, private reception rooms and private mourning suites, have all been designed to make your visit a peaceful and calming experience. Our qualified and dedicated advisors will listen to your requirements and guide you through the choices to ensure your complete satisfaction with the arrangements you make.
I hope the information we have here will help you make all the right decisions. Although we have done our best to include the most popular available options, if there is something you would like and you can't find it here, please do call and we will do our best to help. As always, our advice is free and without obligation.
I hope that our hard work and commitment to service continues to set the standards for many generations to come.

Corona Virus – Implications on Funeral Services
All our funeral homes are currently open during their normal business hours.
We would like to reassure all our families that we are doing everything we can to make sure all our current funerals take place exactly as arranged. As we arrange and book new funerals we are keeping in mind we may not have all our usual staff available due to illness or isolation. Please be assured we will always have a contingency in place to make sure the funeral takes place. However we all need to be mindful of keeping everyone safe and the possible outcome of local and national guidelines. Transport Update -Our limousines now have Covid Screens in place so we can offer transport for 6 people from the same family or social bubble.
We are discouraging you from attending our funeral homes to make arrangements. For yours and our safety we prefer for arrangements to be made by phone or video on your preferred App. Legal documents can be scanned and emailed or we will hand deliver forms for signature. The Coronavirus Bill is now in force which means some of the advice on our website in respect of registration of a death will not be correct. As things are changing daily I would ask you call us to receive the best up to date advice about what to do.
All cemeteries and crematoria are restricting the number of people who can attend a service. These differ for each local authority but Birmingham will allow sixteen people and Solihull will allow 14 people to attend a service in their crematorium chapels. Solihull Cemeteries will allow 20 people at a graveside. With this in mind we are able to live stream the funeral service via a Facebook Live feed for those family members who are unable to attend. Please ask us for details of how this works.
Together we can make sure that we do the best with the situation at hand.
If you know of anyone vulnerable in the community who can’t get out and needs medication collecting, food supplies or anything urgent, just get in touch and we’ll do our best to help. We're a local family business who care about our local community.
