Born and raised in Erdington, I have dedicated almost 30 years of my life caring for the bereaved of Birmingham. After many years gaining experience throughout the industry as a whole, I truly believe that when someone dies, regardless of who they are, they deserve a compassionate, caring and dignified service.
Being entrusted with the final act of remembrance for a loved one is an honour. I feel truly privileged to be able to serve my local community and surrounding area within the funeral home I personally built with my father, family and friends. I am now available to guide you, 'Hand in Hand, Step by Step', through this most difficult of times and beyond.

From my first contact with Ian, I felt reassured that all arrangements for my late father were being handled with care and respect.
The staff, who swiftly came out in the early hours of the morning, were very friendly and gave me all the information I needed moving forward.
Ahead of the funeral, Ian covered all aspects of how the funeral would proceed and put me in contact with an excellent celebrant who provided, alongside Ian, a service my dad would have been proud of.
Given that this process took place during the lockdown period, I would also like to praise Ian for his thorough planning to

Ian provided an incredibly personal and sensitive service when my husband passed away recently. Nothing phased him, and nothing was too much trouble. He obviously knows exactly what he is doing and I found him incredibly supportive during the whole process. I really felt I could rely on him to see me and the family through all parts of the proceedings, including the before, the during and the after. He guided me through everything and I felt comforted having him by my side on the day of the funeral. His team were all professional, smart, respectful and kind and his offices are welcoming and well

Ian provided a totally professional and personalised service. He always had our families interests at heart and was incredibly respectful and empathetic. I could not rate him highly enough for providing such beautiful celebration of life. Choosing an independent company was the best decision we could’ve made.

I cannot recommend Ian and his team highly enough. We were let down by one of the larger funeral directors in the area who promised much but were unable to deliver. This is the last thing you want at a time like this, so I urge you to be cautious of the bigger companies. We were so fortunate that with one phone call to Ian, he immediately took over the arrangements swiftly and expertly. He is extremely efficient, professional and compassionate. All of our requirements were met seamlessly, despite this being a big ask after the delays caused by the previous directors. He made a difficult time much

Myself and my family would like to thank Ian Skett in our moment of need for his professional and caring service. From start to finish Ian offered a caring and empathetic manner and guided us through this difficult time ensuring we did not have to worry about anything to do with our father’s funeral.
I would highly recommend if you want a professional service with the personal touch.
