Described as 'quirky', 'fascinating', 'a hidden gem' and rated no.#5 of 413 things to do in Birmingham, The Coffin Works Museum is definitely worth a visit. And now, you can even pick up one of our Chocolate Coffin Bars from the gift shop, all year round!
A Victorian Coffin Fittings factory, restored by Birmingham Conservation Trust and opened as a museum in October 2014. 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 Joseph Chamberlain, Winston Churchill and the Queen Mother.
