From flooded to fantastic
Recent torrential rain in Birmingham caused extensive flooding at Hodgson & Sons in Kingstanding. There was no alternative but to take drastic action and the funeral home went from flooded to fantastic in ten days.
The transformed branch now has an open plan reception and a floral and memorial display area.
Business manager, Helen Griffith said, “I would like to thank the team at Hodgson & Sons for all their hard work and support with this project.”
