The Indian Funeral Company are Asian funeral directors serving Stourbridge and the Dudley borough, arranging Hindu, Sikh and other South-Asian funerals with cultural care. Based in Walsall, we travel across the Black Country to your family in Stourbridge, day or night, and take care of every practical detail.
Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year · Hindi & Punjabi speakers
Stourbridge sits at the western edge of the Dudley borough, where the South-Asian community is smaller and more spread out than in the inner West Midlands heartlands of Handsworth, Smethwick and Wolverhampton. That can make it harder for a Hindu or Sikh family here to find funeral directors who truly understand their traditions. The Indian Funeral Company travels to Stourbridge families precisely so that distance is never a reason to compromise on the rites.
We are based in Walsall and travel across the Black Country to Stourbridge around the clock. Rather than asking a grieving family to make their own arrangements from scratch, we come to you — whether that is your home in Wollaston or Oldswinford, a hospital, or your gurdwara or mandir. Our founder Meera Bhanot and her team guide you in English, Hindi and Punjabi, and take care of the paperwork, the timing and the rites so you can be with your family. Read our Google reviews from families across the West Midlands.
From the first phone call to the final farewell, we handle the practical work of the funeral so your family can concentrate on grieving, praying and being together.
Every faith has its own rites, its own timing and its own language of grief. We specialise in both Hindu and Sikh funerals for Stourbridge families, and also arrange Buddhist and Jain services. Choose the tradition you are arranging for.
Antim sanskar arranged with cultural care — preparation and darshan, a priest to lead the rites, a crematorium chosen for your family’s wishes, and asthi visarjan or repatriation of the ashes. Meera Bhanot guides Hindu families through every stage.
Hindu funeral directors in Stourbridge →Antam sanskar arranged alongside your gurdwara — care of your loved one and the Five Ks, coordination of the shabad kirtan, Kirtan Sohila, Ardas and Bhog, and immersion of the ashes. We work hand in hand with the gurdwaras Stourbridge families attend.
Sikh funeral services in Stourbridge →Stourbridge has its own crematorium, Stourbridge Cemetery and Crematorium on South Road, one of the two crematoria run by Dudley Council. Many families across the borough also use Gornal Wood Cemetery and Crematorium on Chase Road, which opened in 1879 and serves the Dudley and Sedgley area. For families who prefer a different venue, or who need a longer or private service to observe particular rites, we also arrange cremations at the other crematoria serving the wider Black Country and Birmingham.
What each crematorium permits — a longer service, a private slot, the chief mourner’s role in the committal, or the family witnessing the charging of the cremator — varies from one to the next. As Asian funeral directors who work across this region every week, we know these venues, we know what they allow, and we set clear expectations in advance so there are no surprises on the day. We also coordinate the timing so the crematorium slot fits with your mandir or gurdwara.
Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist and Jain rites each have their own norms. We arrange each one properly, guided by your family and your priest or granthi — we never dictate the rites, we support them.
Distance is never a reason to compromise. We travel across the Black Country to your home, the hospital, the mandir or the gurdwara, anywhere in Stourbridge, day or night.
Meera Bhanot and the team support families in English, Hindi and Punjabi, and can arrange same-sex funeral professionals to tend to the deceased where that matters to your family.
Our Complete Cremation Package is £3,999 on a weekday, and every charge is set out plainly on our pricing page — no hidden costs at a time when you are least able to question them.
