According to Birmingham Live, the funeral home in Alcester Road suffered structural damage.
Central England Co-op, who own the business said they will continue to give loved ones in their care “the highest standards of care” while it awaits for the damage at the home to be repaired.
Heavy rain and winds of up to 60mph were believed to caused the tree to fall.
A spokesperson told Birmingham Live : “We can confirm that a tree has damaged our Ambler Brothers funeral home as a result of Storm Ciara.
“We would like to reassure families whose loved ones are currently in our care that they have not been impacted in anyway but, as a precaution, we will be moving them to our nearby Stirchley Funeral Home to ensure they continue to get the highest standards of care while we await for the damage at the home to be repaired.”
