Central Co-op’s home in Wednesfield High Street has been given a complete refurbishment with an entirely new look, and will hold its official reopening ceremony on Friday, which will include the special feature of a bagpiper.

The long-established firm has been resident on the village High Street for many years and is currently in the process of overhauling all of its premises across the region.

A spokesperson for the company said: “Central Co-op, as part of its purpose of creating funeral homes of the future and removing the taboo around conversations on death, is refurbishing its portfolio of funeral homes and crematoriums to make them brighter, calmer and more welcoming spaces for guests.

“Our funeral team will be on hand to talk about our approach to the funeral homes of the future, including the changes made to Wednesfield. The launch event will also include a bagpipe to mark the reopening. Membership representatives will also be in attendance to talk to people and allow guests to view the new home.”

The reopening event will be held between 11am and 2pm.
