Funeral Directors’ Branch Network Expands with New Black Country Funeral Home

Family-run funeral director, Jennifer Ashe & Son, has announced the acquisition of its sixth branch, with the opening of a funeral home in Oxley, Wolverhampton.

Managing Director John Ashe has been looking for a suitable location for the new branch for some time and when he saw the former bank premises on Three Tuns Parade, Ford Houses, had become available he knew straight away that it was the perfect site for expanding the business’s caring, customer-first funeral service.

The new branch has undergone an extensive refit, with the Jennifer Ashe now fully operational from the site.

The funeral director is holding an Open Day on Saturday 14th September, to give invited guests and members of the public the opportunity to browse the new branch, meet John and his team in person and ask any questions about funerals and funeral planning.

John said of the new Oxley branch: “We have had our eye on this site in Oxley for a very long time. Initially, we had viewed the site back in 2019, but at the time it made sense for us to focus on making our Willenhall HQ a success.

“Fast-forward five years, and it is great to be able to add a new branch to our five existing bases across the Black Country and Staffordshire.

“Opening at Oxley allows us to grow our caring and supportive service for families at their time of utmost need, and we are looking forward to meeting the local community in September.”

Oxley joins the other existing Jennifer Ashe branches in Willenhall, Brownhills, Hednesford, Walsall and Lichfield, as the team opens its sixth branch in just eight years.

One of John’s longest-serving Funeral Directors, Jimmy Smith, has experience of working in the Oxley area before, and said: “Having provided services for families in the region before, I know the opening of a new branch will be welcome locally.

“The building itself is beautiful, and I’m excited to see the finished results, once the renovation work has been completed.”
