Mark Roy Timmins Funeral Directors in Halesowen
The original family business of A.J. Timmins & Son Funeral Directors based at 142 Stourbridge Road in Halesowen was sold to The Co-operative (Co-op) in the early 1990s and remains owned by that company today. Although they still use the Timmins family name, there are no family members of the family involved in that business.
In 2021, working with Hickton Family Funeral Directors, Mark and Roy Timmins made a long-awaited return to Stourbridge Road, with the opening of a new funeral home at 181 Stourbridge Road, Halesowen near Tesco Express.
The opening of this office officially brings the return of the Timmins family of funeral directors back to the area. Mark Roy Timmins left what was the family business of A.J. Timmins & Son, also on the Stourbridge Road, in the 1990s following the sale of the business to the Co-op. Mark operated his own business alongside Hicktons for a number of years before handing it over to the Hicktons to manage in 2018, whilst still looking after the families who wish to see and use him at their time of need. Sadly Roy Timmins passed away in 2024, however Mark Timmins still is available for funerals in Halesowen.
Mark is based at the new Hicktons office on Stourbridge Road, along with Rachel who has worked at the previous funeral home on Windmill Hill since the start of 2021.
The Hickton family pride themselves on the funerals they look after, with a personal touch to all, fair, clear and transparent pricing, and the flexibility to accommodate all needs placed upon them. They have been funeral directors since 1909, with the business passing through four generations. Currently Ross, Greg and Jodie Hickton head up the business alongside their father, Trevor Hickton.
