Hopcraft Funeral Directors

We had an excellent experience with Hopcraft’s from the moment the hearse appeared at our late friend’s home to the time when mourners were driven to the wake.
Our dear departed friend, Gordon Hands, was very special to us, but also an important member of The Grand Theatre.
Ryan, who dealt with our enquiries and gave us lots of support throughout, arranged for the cars to stop outside the theatre for staff to pay their respects. He organised everything so carefully, and his team could not have been more kind, respectful and smart.Ryan also had the difficult task of liaising with the next of kin, who lived a distance away, and he did this with great skill and thoughtfulness throughout.
I would not hesitate to strongly recommend Hopcraft’s for anyone wanting to arrange the best funeral possible for their loved ones.

Ryan was amazing throughout such a difficult time for me and my family..he gave my G the best send off which I know he would have been proud of. Thank you Ryan and your team 🌟

I was recommended to Hopcraft by my friend Mandy who had them to look after her mums funeral. My daughter passed away suddenly and Ryan has helped me every step of the way. So helpful, dignified, caring and very professional. It was a beautiful service also performed by Ethster Pitt the celebrant for the service. God bless all of you.

You are all truly amazing. You made this as easy as you could for me and I will always be very grateful. I would recommend you 100% for anyone. Xxxx

Hopcraft Funerals were fantastic and very supportive at such a difficult time. I’d like to give a special mention to Ryan who made every effort to make the process as easy as possible from start to finish and also to Esther who did an amazing job of writing the Eulogy and delivering the service. I would highly recommend this funeral directors.

After losing my 25 year old son I was in pieces and did not know where to start with his funeral arrangements.
My first contact was Ryan who helped me through the whole process. He made everything so personal and was always sensitive. If I had a query or thought about any aspect of the funeral arrangements. I knew I could call and if he didn’t answer I knew it would not be long before he returned my call. If I sent a message I knew he would return my message to answer my query very quickly. He certainly went above and beyond.
Obviously the funeral was a sad occasion but it was done in such a professional sensitive manner by the whole of the staff in the company.
The order of services provided were superb and included photos of my son. I had told Ryan my son loved Bantock park and when he sent the proof for the order of service the background for the order of service was a photo from bantock park. Yet another personal touch.
We opted for the horse’s and carriage and they were beautiful. The funeral procession arrived 20 minutes early to enable the family to spend some time with my son before we set off to the crematorium.
Because of restrictions during the covid pandemic we were not able to allow everyone to attend so Ryan organized a live webcast so people could watch the service from elsewhere.
We had shopped around for prices and found hopcrafts to be the cheapest but the level of service and customer care was superior to any other funerals I have been involved with.
Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone at hopcrafts and a special thank you to Ryan because he wasn’t just a funeral director, during this time he felt like a family friend looking after everything during this sad time

When my uncle passed away, I was tasked with the daunting experience of finding the perfect t funeral directors; compassionate yet affordable. Birmingham is the most expensive place in the UK to have a funeral, even London so after I’d contacted several directors for quotes that were near to £4k, I contacted Hopcraft, situated just outside of Birmingham and was surprised at the cost difference. But this does not reflect in their service! From my initial phone call to the service, Ryan was my contact – he would keep me updated with the coroner findings, letting me know when my uncle was in their care, helping me make difficult decisions, reassuring me that everything would be okay in such a tragic time. They even created bespoke and personalised order of service pamphlets that were professionally printed. Ryan remained very professional and gave me contact details to ensure I could reach him at any hour. As I live in Wales, he was able to accommodate Zoom calls and sending documents via post. We asked for the service to be at Robin Hood Crematorium and he talked me through the whole process – nothing was ever a problem. On the day of the funeral, Ryan walked infront of the hearse in the traditional manner, wearing full funeral wear, followed by the family limousine. I don’t know how but the drivers turned the cars around in the extremely tight cul-de-sac effortlessly. Ryan greeted us respectfully and we were chauffeured to the crematorium. The funeral directors waited and after the service, drove us to the wake venue. Everything was so professional and seamless, all staff were pleasant and personable – my family were approaching me asking which directors they were and how wonderful they had been. I would definitely recommend Hopcraft Funeral Directors; I was guided through every single step. What could have been a nightmare occasion was a send off in style, to be remembered for all of the right reasons. Thank you so much.

I used the service of Hopcraft in Wolverhampton for my mom’s funeral in June 2021. My family have used the services of Hopcraft as earlier as 1981. I found their service to be exceptional from collecting my mom, arranging the funeral, on the day of the funeral and even after the funeral. They showed a lot of compassion and empathy. I dealt with Ryan who I found to be very professional, friendly, very helpful and supportive with helping to arrange the details of my mom’s funeral – nothing was too much for Ryan to sort out. For the service, I chose to have Esther Pitt, a Celebrator, to talk about and celebrate my mom’s life. Esther was professional and listened to the stories we told about my mom and delivered an amazing service – would highly recommend.

Thank you very much Ryan, Esther and Hopcraft for your professional, supportive and friendly services and I would highly recommend you.

Ryan and the team at Hopcraft funeral directors provided an excellent service for my moms funeral. Ryan was very respectful and understanding of my wishes. He supported and guided me throughout the process and was always available to answer any questions that arose. All the staff were friendly and courteous and the day ran smoothly providing my mom with a lovely and befitting funeral. Many thanks to all involved. Highly recommend to anyone looking for excellent service. Ryan was also able to put me in touch with other services which helped to make the day complete.

I have never planned a funeral, nor did I know where to turn with the passing of my mom. I was devastated I had so much to do.
A simple Google search helped me find you and I am so thankful. I have never know anyone as professional, caring, empathetic and as kind and at only 23 Ryan, you should be so very proud. You took me under your wing and guided me through everything and made it such an easy task in my saddest moments.
My moms service was beautiful from start to finish, Ester Pitt, our celebrant was amazing kind and such a beautiful well spoken person, who helped write in memory of mom some beautiful words.
Lesley Harris who I was also put into contact with for my flowers through Hopcraft, how perfect is your work! This cannot be faulted and they were beyond my expectations of what they would look like
I had so much stress and worry and it was all taken away from me, from collecting mom back from south Staffordshire to bringing her home to rest it was all perfect, organised, efficient and professional.
It was all perfect and I only have you guys to thank for it at Hopcraft Funeral Directors 🙏🏼
I cannot recommend you enough. Thank you again for everything.

WOW what a great service we received from you. Everything was perfect from the first moment we met until the final end. Treated with utmost respect all the way. Arranging the logistics for our fire engine and motorbikes took a load off our minds. I highly recommend Hopcraft Funeral Services and would most definitely use them again if I need to. Ryan you are a star and a credit to Hopcraft.

Hopcraft funeral home well deserves the 5 stars given they were excellent from start to finish.
Ryan was the most kind and helpful person we have met and was caring and compassionate the whole way through our sad time.
Esther was amazing delivering the service and was very polite and compassionate throughout.
We were never pestered for any money and had to offer payment as required.
anything we asked for we were given with no hesitation.
I have used a few funeral homes and this is the best by far for compassion. Care and courtesy throughout.
Sally and Paul

We would like to thank hopcraft and especially Ryan who was very professional and always there to answer any questions we had, we would aslo like to thank the celebrant Esther for a lovely eulogy. We have used hopcraft three times and would highly recommend this funeral directors

Very professional and caring from start to finish. Also a very good Celebrant who wrote an exceptional service for my mother that truly reflected her life. The order of service was beautifully designed and very individual.

Every person employed by Hopcraft Funerals that I came into contact with, carried their duties out with the up most diligence, and respect for my feeling as a greiving daughter. Also, very caring of my mother’s body when collecting her.

Ryan at Hopcraft looked after my sister and I really well, when we were arranging my Mother’s funeral. Nothing was too much trouble. The order of service was beautiful and he liaised with the church and managed the donations. Very respectful and smart with the coffin procession. I would recommend this local family business, who were fair with their pricing also.

Ryan was our funeral director for my mom. He was very knowledgeable and was able to guide me through the whole process with ease. Nothing was too much trouble for him. He even let me contact him out of hours if I needed to. He showed my mom so much care and respect whilst she was in his care and the funeral was so well done and every detail was perfectly done. I didn’t feel rushed at all. He even messaged me after the funeral to see how I was doing. I would highly recommend using hopcraft over anyone else. The service is so much more personal and you do actually matter. Thank you again to Ryan and the team for everything.

What can I say this funeral directors Hopcraft are one of a kind there so compassionate caring helpful but that all funeral directors do but I’ve never been to one that goes above and beyond like Ryan does he treats your loved ones with the upmost care and respect he talks to them as he works we requested daily visits and this was granted even through it was out of hours Ryan travelled back to open for us to see our son everyday up till the funeral day where we saw our son on the morning before the casket was sealed for his journey of memories the horses on the day were spot on we even had time outside the house to the street and visitors could pay there respect to our son after the cremation Ryan personally went and collected our son and brought him to our house which is a very personal touch

It was hard losing our son but Ryan made that journey easier to deal with I would recommend Hopcraft to any one

Myself and my family decided to choose Hopcraft Funerals for our late mother & grandmother, it was the best decision we made we had an amazing service all round and the support available was incredible, the respect was overwhelming and my grandmother would have been absolutely honoured to have such a respectable service in her memory. The professionalism was second to none and I strongly recommend all these guys for the hard work and professionalism they put into their jobs.

Thank you to Ryan & everyone at Hopcraft Funerals for an incredible service on behalf of myself and my family.

Hopcraft funerals were lovely and very caring and sympathetic. Ryan and the staff provided a perfect send off for a much loved mom. They recommend a celebrant Esther who came to visit and delivered a lovely service.

We used Hopcraft funeral services for my uncle. This was my first time planning a funeral and Ryan at Hopcraft helped make a very difficult time as easy as possible. He guided us every step of the way and even gave us a work WhatsApp to message 24/7 with any questions. The funeral was the best send off for my uncle and everything was planned to perfection. I cannot thank them enough.
