Now in the fourth generation of the Painter family, Frank Painter & Sons are widely known and respected as Shrewsbury's only totally independent fourth Generation Family Funeral Directors.
Founder of the business, Frank Painter began serving the local community as a Funeral Director in the 1930s, followed in later years by his son Alan and more recently by Frank’s grandsons Chris and Mike and great grandsons Alan and Ben.
With over 20+ years in Policing across the UK I have had numerous experiences with undertakers. When I was informed that my father had passed away, my greatest concern was that of the undertakers. I need not have been so worried. Frank Painter’s & Sons were recommended and I am so glad we chose them. Their tact, sensitivity, respect and decency was second to none from the moment they arrived. Ben is a credit to the firm and his family have accommodated many requests above and beyond what is probably considered the norm. Painter’s will now always be the first call I would make where friends and family are concerned. I cannot thank them enough.
Dear Alan,
On behalf of all our family, I’d like to say ‘thank you’ to you for all the help and guidance you gave us for my Mother’s funeral last month, and also the manner in which you and your team conducted things on the day.
In the days before the funeral, several people asked which funeral directors we were using. When I told them Frank Painter & Sons, they all made very positive comments on their experience or knowledge of your company. I am happy to say that you certainly lived up to (and actually exceeded) the expectations their comments created!

Dear Ben,
I just wanted to say thank you very much for you professionalism, your caring & compassionate manner and all that you have done, for us. You have made such a difficult time just that little bit easier to bear. I have felt so confident that in your hands all would go well with P & Mum’s funeral. You have not rushed me and I so appreciate that. I have lost two of the most important people in my life, thank you for looking after them for me.
On behalf of my Mum, D, I would like to express our sincere thanks for all your help, guidance, advice and support following the death of my Father, B.
The care, compassion and understanding you showed us during a very traumatic and painful time was very much appreciated. Having to deal with the Coronavirus restrictions and the constant changes was handled promptly and professionally.
At all times we felt fully informed and it was a comfort to my Mum that she felt my Dad was in good hands. The work to prepare for viewing in the chapel of rest will forever be appreciated as it was a lovely last memory for my Mum and us.
I understand it is your profession Jen, and you deal with these situations every day, but you made a huge difference to all of our family and we will be forever grateful. Thank you
Many thanks to all of the Staff but a special big thank you to David, our funeral director. David has been amazing and has helped us every step of the way. His kindness and his genuine care and thoughtfulness have been outstanding.
Frank Painter are an excellent quality, family firm and one I would highly recommend.
When, on 3rd March 2019, after having lived, loved, and cared for P… I did not know whom to choose, to entrust P to for what would be the necessary next step. I could not have known that having chosen and contacted your company, of the warmth, care, respect, support, and of your gentle, professional manner throughout that has been so thoughtfully given and so gratefully received. I felt that P was safe and rested, and my time with P, whilst in your care, gave a sense of calm. My heartfelt thanks to you.
To all of the staff at Frank Painter’s, particularly Ben and Alan,
Thank you so much for the kindness and professionalism you showed in helping arrange our Father’s funeral. Your help, and particularly the patience and compassion shown, was so much appreciated.
It was very reassuring to feel we were in safe hands as you guided us through the whole process. You have all been professional and compassionate.
Thank you so much for all your help arranging my fathers funeral. Your kindness and patience made the whole process seem easier to bear.
Just a note to say a massive thank you for giving Mum a very dignified send off and for going the extra mile for A. Everyone said how professional you were and we agree, everytime we spoke or met, you were exceptional.

It means so much to be confident that they have been treated with compassion and respect.
I would like to thank Alan so much for organising Dad’s funeral recently. He is the most amazing young man, caring, considerate, compassionate and incredibly helpful. Even in the quiet hours he arrived in a full suit and polished shoes, what more could one ask. Everyone else I spoke to within the company was also extremely polite and obliging. Thank you Frank Painter and Sons.
I cannot thank Alan, Rose and the team enough. Superb service, caring, courteous and efficient.
They helped and guided our family through the most dreadful and traumatic time with dignity and professionalism. Thank you all.

Excellent services. As a family, we found Ben to be excellent in every aspect of our dealing with him. He is young, enthusiastic and yet always adopts a perfect tone. He worked very hard to provide an excellent service to the family and considered all needs. He liaised with the vicar and dealt with all administrative tasks without any inconvenience to us. Throughout he wanted to ensure that our mother had a fitting funeral. We consider Ben to be an asset to your organization. Well done, Ben. For a young man, you have a maturity and empathy which are admirable qualities in your profession.
Thank you, Ben, and we would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone.
My family would like to wholeheartedly thank Ben for his supportive, sympathetic and efficient handling of the funeral arrangements for my wife. As a result of his efforts, everything ran like clockwork, both before and on the day. In our dealings with him, he made us feel that nothing was too much trouble. And on the day, he made us feel that we were his only priority. We would have no reservations in recommending Painters.
