Introducing Our 6th Funeral Home: Gaunts of Stourport

At Gaunts Family Funeral Services, we are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey – the acquisition of Hoskins Family Funeral Services Ltd, now proudly rebranded as Gaunts of Stourport Funeral Directors. Situated at 107 The Birches, Stourport-on-Severn, this marks our sixth funeral home in the West Midlands, a testament to our continued growth and commitment to serving communities with compassion and dignity.


Building on Strong Foundations

The acquisition of Hoskins Family Funeral Services Ltd allows us to build upon the solid foundations, reputation, and community support that Hoskins has diligently cultivated over the years. We are honoured to inherit their legacy and combine it with our modern, contemporary, and personal approach to funeral services.


Expanding Our Reach

With funeral homes already established in Rowley Regis, Smethwick, Cradley Heath, Stourbridge, and Kidderminster, the addition of Gaunts of Stourport further strengthens our presence in the region. We take immense pride in our heritage and the significant growth and development we've experienced in recent years.


Commitment to Excellence

At Gaunts, we promise to uphold the highest standards of service for the families who entrust us with their loved ones. Our team is dedicated to providing compassionate care and support during times of loss, ensuring that each funeral service is personalised and meaningful.

Embracing Tradition, Embracing Change

While many of the traditions of Hoskins Family Funeral Services resonate with us, we are excited to embark on a journey of transformation. The renovation of Gaunts of Stourport is underway, with plans to modernise the funeral home and fleet of vehicles. Through these enhancements, we aim to deliver a first-class funeral service experience to the Stourport community.


Continuity and Care

Amidst the renovations, we want to reassure our clients that business is running as usual. All agreements made with Hoskins Family Funeral Services remain in place, and the familiar faces of Henry and Rachel will continue to provide the highest level of care to families, just as they always have.


Join Us in Celebration

At Gaunts Family Funeral Services, we are deeply grateful for the trust and support of the communities we serve. As we expand our reach and continue our mission of providing compassionate care, we remain dedicated to honouring the lives of those we serve with dignity, respect, and empathy.


We are immensely proud and honoured to be the new and ONLY Family Funeral Directors of Stourport. We invite you to join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter.
