Business overview

6th generation family business. Established since 1870. Prepaid funeral plans & advice. Home visits upon request. Bereavement counselling. Monument masonry.

Believed to be the oldest firm in Cannock, 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 and in the middle of Penkridge on Clay Street, the business has seen many changes.

The premises were originally located in Price Street adjoining the Black Horse Pub. However, the company had to move to its modern day premises on Church Street due to major road developments in 1989.

Set up by Alfred John Sellman when Cannock expanded as a mining town the business has always prided itself in being a local family business caring for the local community. It is now a sixth generation family business owned and managed by George Poole and his sons; Ralph and Edward

Reviews

Exactly what we wanted.

We had previously used Sellmans in Great Wyrley for my fathers funeral and were always going to use the same funeral director for my mother but chose the Cannock branch. We were very fortunate on both occasions to have Edward managing the finer details. The initial meeting, correspondence, invoicing all went quite smoothly. Order of service with the office took a while to get right with typos/formatting.
Edward acted as the Minister at the service at Cannock Chase Crematorium and having provided him with the life of mum he put together a wonderful farewell. Nothing was too much trouble before, during and after, as Sellmans are looking after both mum and dad's ashes whilst the Crematorium plot and plaque are prepared.
As we had so many elderly relatives and friends that could not make the funeral we opted for a live link where feedback has been very positive from friends and relatives. We also had a slideshow of mum's life in black and white photos which was beautiful. Thank you.

Loosing a loved one at any age is difficult enough, let alone it being so suddenly and unexpected - our family would like to thank A J Sellmans for there kindness, compassion and attention to detail during our time of need.

From start to finish we were met with warm smiles, patience and consideration. Jade was excellent at guiding us through the service and planning and Edward even more so on offering advice on the day about delivering a eulogy, which of course we were anxious about.

We can not recommend them enough, thank you once again for everything, and for continuing to check up on us even after the funeral.

Extremely embarrassed

I attended a funeral on Friday at Heath hayes crematorium. I feel I had to say that I thought your funeral staff were the scruffiest I have ever seen . Their outfits did not fit all the men and I felt ashamed for the people that had used you for the service of their loved one

My father passed away 31st March 2020.
And Edward from sellmans was one of the kindest caring man I have ever met.
Even with the restrictions he and sellmans were professional and gave a First class service.
I can not recommend them enough.
Thank you to you all for your kindness at this terrible time.
