The respect... read more and care shown to my wonderful Mom and to us, her family was so wonderful.

  Donna and Alf have been incredible. From the moment my Dad passed away unexpectedly a month ago we had no idea what to do or who to call when the... read more paramedics said we needed to call a funeral directors, having been lucky enough not to have had a close bereavement before. I used Google to search for one in Aldridge and saw the amount of 5 star rewews for William Mitchell and called them. How massively pleased I am that I did and it shows how worth while a Google review is. Having never gone through this process or the huge grief we were feeling, we were numb and overwhelmed and Alf was lovely. He talked us through what was happening and what would be done and collected my Dad to take him to their Chapel of rest. I now understand that it is rare to have these on site and William Mitchell do. Everytime I went to the building, I felt at peace knowing my dad was there near me and being so looked after and respected. Due to Covid it took a while for Dad to go to the coroner for autopsy, but Donna and Alf kept us informed with what was happening and helped us understand the process. Donna helped my mum and myself with all the arrangements with recommendations of various things and personal suggestions which were the best for our family, emotions and memories. Nothing was too much trouble and you could call at any time. Tony the humanist minister was lovely too. He came to see us at home to chat about Dad and took away mum's notes about Dad and turned them into a beautiful representation of my Dad when the funeral came. On the day of the funeral Donna was walking infront of the hearse up our street. Such an incredible show of respect and her uniform was amazing. She showed us personal touches making it so very meaningful and on the way to the crematorium some people from a sports club my dad had originally set up 30 years ago were lined along the road. We didn't realise this was happening and Donna spotted them, got out the car, bowed to the coffin and again walked infront of the hearse passed the people who had come to say goodbye to my dad due to number restrictions at the service. It was such a thoughtful, beautiful touch and meant the world to us. Everything they did from start to finish was out of utter respect and kindness and made you feel like family, giving advice and chatting about other things to lighten the mood! We can't thank you enough. Ness, Gail and Gaz. Xx

  William Mitchell Funerals were recommended to us by a close family friend, everything we were told was true and beyond. Donna and her fantastic team arranged my Grandad's Funeral, which... read more was lovely, dignified and professional. Donna arranged the funeral from start to finish, she is extremely helpful, honest, sympathetic, caring the list is endless nothing is too much trouble, I like the fact that we dealt with Donna and she actually did the funeral for us as well, we were able to go and sit with my granddad in the chapel of rest and was told if we wanted to go back or needed more time we could. I was able to walk in front of the Car from my granddad's house and at the crematorium. As my dad doesn't travel well Alf took my dad in a separate car ahead of the hurse, It's touches like this that make it more personal to you. Donna and Alf spoke to us on a friendship level not as a business arrangement. William Mitchell come very highly recommended by myself, you deserve lots of business, thank you once again for the lovely send off you did my Grandad proud.
