F.P. Gaunt & Sons Ltd

F.P. Gaunt & Sons has been caring for families across the West Midlands since 1900, over 125 years of continuous service built around the Gaunt family name. The business is led by named directors including P.R. Gaunt (Dip FD, MBIE), H.J. Share, S.A. Meikle-Janney, S.J. Gaunt (Dip FAA) and J.S. Gaunt, reflecting its ongoing family ownership and depth of qualified staff.

Based at Percival House Funeral Home in Rowley Regis, the firm operates five branches across the West Midlands and Worcestershire, trading locally as Gaunts of Wollaston in Stourbridge, Stephen M Godber Funerals in Smethwick, and Black Country Funeral Services in Cradley Heath, alongside further branches in Kidderminster and Stourport, and maintains nine private chapels of rest between them. This mix of a shared ownership group with well-known local trading names lets each branch keep its own community identity.

Funeral options include traditional services with a choice of vehicles, from horse-drawn carriages to Jaguar hearses, as well as non-attended cremations, pre-paid funeral plans, memorial stonework and headstone cleaning and restoration, plus dedicated care for children's funerals, with staff supporting families from initial arrangements through to post-funeral assistance.
