C. Bastock is an independent family funeral business established in 1856 and now in its seventh generation of Bastock family ownership, operating across the Birmingham/Solihull area from three locations: a purpose-built main office in Olton (opened 2001), this Yardley branch, and a Shirley branch.
Services cover cremation and burial arrangements, direct cremation, repatriation, alternative and bespoke funerals, monumental masonry, catering and floral tributes, funeral stationery, grief support, probate assistance and pre-paid funeral plans. The firm markets itself around offering "the best possible funeral at the most reasonable cost" with purpose-built, calming facilities.
A "Simple" funeral is advertised from £1,995 plus disbursements, with a worked example (Simple funeral plus Robin Hood Crematorium fees and a Church of England minister) totalling £3,794; crematorium disbursements are quoted from £997 (Birmingham) and minister fees between £210-£250. These figures do not map cleanly onto the direct_cremation/attended/professional_fee categories, so are left unchanged.
