Jennifer Ashe & Son Funeral Directors has celebrated the first anniversary of its Lichfield branch with the appointment of a new Head of Office.

Faye Yardley joined the family-run funeral directors at the start of 2024, and has quickly become an integral part of the company’s day-to-day operations. Her role sees her assisting the funeral directors with support of all kinds, helping processes across the business work more smoothly.

With a background covering several sectors, Faye’s experience brings a whole host of skills to Jennifer Ashe & Son and will contribute to the business’s growth plans across the region.

Faye said: “The funeral sector has always intrigued me, prior to joining Jennifer Ashe & Son, and it has been a brilliant first few months since I started in my new role at the turn of the year. The whole team have all made me feel so welcome.

“It is great seeing the work that we do, day in, day out, and witnessing the impact it has on the families who have entrusted us with the care of their loved ones.

“I can’t wait to be more closely involved with the Jennifer Ashe team in Lichfield. It might’ve only opened in 2023, but the feeling in Lichfield is that we are fast becoming the first choice for local people when they require funeral services because we are already well known for making a real difference and treating our customers with the esteemed care and courtesy they deserve.”

“We are excited to see her impact in Lichfield, as we look to continue the growth of the branch after 12 months of business. Lichfield remains a very important branch for us at Jennifer Ashe & Son, and we are committed to serving our local communities with the highest levels of customer care for which we are known.”
