S Thomas & Brothers Ltd - Alcester

Thomas Brothers was founded in 1997 by Simon Thomas, whose own career in the funeral profession began at 14 after feeling his grandmother's funeral lacked adequate care — an experience that shaped the firm's guiding principle, "Our family taking care of yours." The business remains family-owned and run, now led by siblings Simon, Mark, Ben and Ceri alongside their mother Christine, with a second and third generation, including Ben Jr, George and Alex, already working as funeral directors.

The firm operates five branches across South Birmingham and Worcestershire — Redditch, Bromsgrove, Wythall, Alvechurch and Alcester — offering funeral arrangements, hearses and limousines, religious and Humanist ceremonies, catering, floristry and stonemasonry, plus pre-payment plans through Golden Charter. The Alcester branch, on Birmingham Road, gives local families access to the same round-the-clock, 24/7/365 service as the group's other homes.

The business is affiliated with the National Association of Funeral Directors, SAIF and Golden Charter, and prides itself on close attention to detail and a personal, family-led approach to every funeral it arranges.
