Newman Brothers at the Coffin Works, Birmingham
The Coffin Works isn’t quite what you’d might expect, and we promise the surprises will be pleasant ones! Entering the factory is like stepping back in time to the heyday of Newman Brothers in the 1960s, the shelves and workbenches at Newman Brothers are full of original stock and tools of the trade. With the original machinery working again, you can truly experience how this old Jewellery Quarter firm once operated on a day-to-day basis, producing some of the world’s finest coffin furniture, including the fittings for the funerals of Churchill, Chamberlain and the Queen Mother.
Volunteering at Newman Brothers offers a unique and rewarding experience. They have a fantastic team in place and they pride themselves on the quality of candidates they attract and the diverse opportunities they offer as a wider organisation linked to Birmingham Conservation Trust. Their volunteers play a key role in the success of Newman Brothers, allowing them to deliver the highest quality experience for their visitors.
