We are all family at O’Malleys and it is our promise to treat all those we care for and support as if they are family too. Managing Director Jack, along with his sister Grace and cousin Ian are also supported by family members Andy, John and Ryan who assist on funeral services.
Jack O’Malley - Managing Director
All funerals conducted at O'Malley Family Funerals are personally overseen by Jack.
His exposure to funerals began whilst altar serving in his childhood at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Burntwood. After assisting voluntarily at many funerals he became actively involved in the wider funeral profession at the age of 16 even working whilst completing his A-level studies and during his time at the University of Birmingham where he obtained his Honours degree in English.
Following 3 years working as Senior Funeral Director at an independent firm, Jack set up O'Malley Family Funerals in 2017.
Grace O’Malley - Office Manager
Grace, Jack’s younger sister, joined the family business in 2018. She ensures those we care for get all the support they need, whether that be practical advice or simply a friendly chat. She also assists in ensuring the smooth running of all funeral services at O’Malleys, making arrangements with families to ensure their loved-one gets the service they deserve as well carrying out preparation of loved-ones and supporting families at funeral services. (Her previous experience as a barista also means she makes great teas and coffees!)
Ian Ashley - Funeral Assistant
Ian is Jack & Grace’s cousin and has been part of the O’Malley team since 2019. Ian ensures loved-ones are safely brought into our care as well as assisting families, conducting services and making sure our fleet of vehicles are immaculate.
