    About Us

    Thomas Bragg & Sons Funeral Directors in Shirley is situated on Stratford Road. If you are arriving by car to meet with us or visit your loved one in our Chapel of Rest there is parking available. 

    Our funeral home dates back to 1869 and has vast experience in supporting the local communities of Solihull, Cheswick Green, Earlswood, Hollywood and Hallgreen as well as Shirley itself. 

    We can help to plan religious and non-religious funeral services and serve many different faiths including Catholics, Anglicans and Buddhists. We have four chapels of rest on-site – two of which can be combined and converted into a larger space to accommodate more visitors. We also provide a multi-faith wash facility. If required, we also offer a repatriation service.

    We are located next door to the Our Lady of the Wayside Church and close to Sears Retail Park, we are easy to find and only a ten-minute drive away from the Robin Hood Crematorium.

    Our experienced and caring team will advise and support you at every stage of the funeral planning process, with a wide range of options and transparent pricing. 

    Our Shirley funeral home is open from Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm. Funeral home opening times may vary over bank holidays, but we are always available on the telephone 24 hours a day, every day of the week.
