As Managing Director along with my two sons Ralph and Edward I am pleased and honoured to preside over our 6th generation family business, established back in 1870. Through personal experience and a lifetime of being trusted by families I know it is never easy losing a loved one. In many respects that pain and feeling of loss never goes away.
Each generation of my family has passed on the understanding and care that is needed to help families and friends who have lost someone dear to them. Over the years, as funeral directors, we have always prided ourselves in offering a very high standard of service.

Services
Independent local family Funeral Directors you can trust, serving the areas of Cannock and Penkridge for over 140 years. A.J.Sellman Family Funeral Directors has been providing a special level of care since 1870. Situated in the heart of Cannock at Church Street, the middle of Penkridge on Clay Street, and the centre of Cheslyn Hay on Station Street, the business has seen many changes.
Arranging the funeral of someone close to you is a hard thing to do, our family will do all we can to take care of all the funeral arrangements and be there for you. The funeral service is a way of saying goodbye to someone who has died. We will let you know all the options available to you and make sure the funeral will be in accordance with your wishes and those of your lost loved one or friend.
With a funeral plan you can fix the cost of our services at this year's prices. So no matter how costs change in the future, your family will have nothing more to pay for the services in your plan - guaranteed. We will support, care and reassure your family when it matters most, including use of our Bereavement Counselling and a Book of Remembrance.
Here is some guidance that our family feel will be helpful to you. For more further help please call A.J.Sellman Funeral Directors and ask to speak to Ralph or Edward Poole or one of our trained members of staff. In most cases you will need to register the death within five days and it is best to visit the registrar in the area in which the person died.
At the time of making arrangements for a funeral, it is not always easy or necessary to determine what your future memorial requirements will be. A memorial is not just a marker erected over a grave to remind us of the name of the deceased, it is a lasting symbol of remembrance, a tribute to a life now ended and perhaps a final gift to someone dearly loved.

A J Sellman showed enormous care and respect to our family after my father died earlier this month. Paul at the Penkridge branch was so kind and yet also efficient. Alistair was also incredibly supportive on the day of the funeral and guided my nephews every step of the way in assisting with my fathers burial. I have only complete praise for this business and how they conduct themselves. Nothing was too much trouble.

We cannot thank Edward and the team enough for the care, support and compassion shown to Mum and me after the loss of our loved one Reg Malins.
From the first moment we got in touch with our sad news to today when we collected dad’s ashes, we were made to feel cared for and supported. What has been one of the hardest things to deal with was made easier by A J Sellman. Edward conducted dad’s service for us and it was amazing and beautiful.
We can’t recommend the company enough. If we could give 10 stars instead of 5 we would.

On behalf of Betty Boxer and family, I would like to thank Edward and his colleagues for the exceptional service and care provided for the funeral of Derek Boxer. It made the process much easier to have one price - everything was dealt with very efficiently. The flowers were beautiful and the reading was done in a very sensitive way with great attention to detail. Edward was particularly caring and considerate throughout. All in all, you helped to make it a very dignified experience. Thank you, we would highly recommend you to others.
