About Gaunts of Kidderminster
Serving Kidderminster with over 125 years of trusted family funeral care.


Where It All Began
The Gaunt family have been arranging and conducting Funerals from our Head Office since 1900.
Percival Gaunt, a local carpenter was asked to produce a coffin for a friend. With help from his Father Decimus he rose to the challenge. From here the Gaunt dynasty was born and our calling to become The Independent Family-Owned Funeral Directors we are today began. As the business grew naturally Percy’s two Sons, Stanley and Ronald Gaunt joined the company and it became F.P Gaunt and Son.
