“We have looked after a number of families and funerals in the city from our Nuneaton site over the years, so this seemed like a natural stepping stone.

“Along with the work that we do in Coventry, we have had a long affiliation with the city including me going to school in the area, so it is known well by the family.

“The premises we took over were previously a funeral directors, but the building had been vacant for a number of months before we moved in.

“This meant that a number of renovations works had to be carried out before we could officially open.

“The whole building has been completely revamped and we have included two family rooms and two chapels of rest to offer professional support and guidance.

“Devall and Son prides itself on offering a bespoke service that is caring and supportive. We are pleased to be bring this to the people of Coventry.”

The Lord Mayor of Coventry, Councillor Lindsley Harvard, officially opened the new business by unveiling a plaque within the reception area.
