We have many years of experience to draw upon when it comes to arranging funerals, and we can provide you with in-depth advice on creating the perfect dignified and elegant ceremony for your loved one. Our services start the moment we pick up the phone to answer your call. Your funeral director will guide you through all the items you need for the funeral to take place and help you personalise the ceremony for your loved one.
We will provide the highest standard of support, from the initial call to after the funeral has taken place. We are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Funeral pre-arrangement wishes and pre-paid plans are sensible options for anyone. They provide financial peace of mind for you and your loved one, and they give you the chance to plan a service that has been tailor-made for you.

My name is Sophie Jukes and as the Managing Director I hold qualifications with both National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and British Institute of Funeral Directors (BIFD). I have held positions with independent and large group companies at various levels and have vast experience in all aspects of organising funeral services.
If a loved one passes away at home (and this was expected), the first this thing to do is contact their doctor. The doctor will attend to verify the death, and this must be done before contacting your appointed funeral director. The Medical Certificate of Cause of Death will normally be completed when the doctor visits your home, though you may need to visit the surgery to obtain it.
A direct cremation is where the cremation itself takes place completely separately from the personal farewell or memorial services. Losing a loved one can be a very emotional time, but we have the competence and experience needed to handle everything efficiently. There is a vast choice of crematoria in Staffordshire and throughout the UK.
The Jukes family have been in the industry for over 60 years. We are proud to be a family business that provides the level of service, personal care, respect and dignity that is only to be expected from a company with such a proud record. The history of Jukes Funeral Services starts in a small joinery shed in Birmingham's Balsall Heath area, where a company was set up in the 1950s by brothers Derick and Dennis Jukes.
Being an independent family business is especially important to us. It means that we can provide a personal service that only a family-run business can. The values, attention to detail, empathy, reliability, care, dedication, passion, warmth, support and overall quality of service are an integral part of our service.

Sadly, we lost Mom on the 27th February 2021, clearly a devastating time for us all. Mom had already set out a plan for her funeral with Jukes, which was a huge help. I have to say, from the first time we met with Ryan from Jukes, we were amazed by how compassionate and professional Ryan and the team were, I cannot express how much this meant to us as a family.
Ryan was responsive, respectful and helpful from start to finish, as were other team members we met from Jukes.
Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Ryan and the team

Following the death of my mother in June I contacted Jukes after looking at their website that I thought was particularly tidy and well thought out. It was immediately clear that I had made a good choice when I spoke with Stuart who handled my call with sensitivity and professionalism. This continued throughout the entire process of arranging the funeral with guidance and advice on every detail which was greatly appreciated. On the day everything went smoothly and all who attended (in person or via the video link) thought it was a fitting tribute to my mother.
I would not hesitate to recommend

Thank you so much to Ryan and Sophie and the team for not only co ordinating our little Esme’s funeral, but for giving us the support we needed during the most devastating time.
Ryan was an absolute star, he was so compassionate, he listened to every little detail , he was so friendly.
We told ryan what we ideally wanted and he spoke with all the relevant people to ensure we got what we asked for. There was nothing ryan could have done differently.
I know ryan had to be professional at times but as soon as I got to know him it was like I had known him for ages, this really helped me as it

It's been so difficult and painful for me over the last few weeks after the death of my Dad/Grandad James Ernest Barratt ( Jim ) to have to arrange his funeral was just so hard as I have never had to arrange one before as I felt so alone.
But luckily I was recommended Jukes Funeral Services by a very special friend who told me they were the best of the best and that they would look after my dad with total respect and dignity and that they were very good on price.
Well it is so easy for me to put into words how Sophie, Stuart and all there fantastic team helped me from start to finish organise

Couldn’t have asked for a more personable and professional service from all at Jukes for our father’s funeral. He would have been very proud.
Stuart’s been particularly attentive, detailed, organised and I genuinely feel the care and passion to provide respect during a very difficult time for our family.
Thank you for being amenable to our requests, efficient with communication and above all caring.

We can't thank Sophie and her team enough for the care and consideration they gave to us whilst dealing with the funeral arrangements for my sister. Nothing was too much trouble and they made a difficult time more than bearable. Our family have no hesitation in recommending Jukes for their excellent service.

Sophie and her team provided an excellent service for our family with the repatriation collection, and burial of my late son. Considerate and respectful at all times, Sophie's dedication to providing us with the service we wished for was truly remarkable, and worthy of 6 stars out of 5. First class and highly recommended.

The professional service that Jukes provide is 100% first class, from start to finish. They made our journey as painless as it could possible be. Stuart presided over every aspect of our dad's funeral, completely professional, compassionate throughout, there was no pushy salesman for the casket or order of service. We were allowed to choose what we wanted, bespoke casket, order of service & condolence book showing our dad's favourite films & his beloved AVFC. Stuart Clancy went above & beyond by getting in touch with AVFC where Denise & I were sent a lovely letter upon which Stuart had framed for
