As the last council-owned mortuary in the Black Country, the Wednesfield facility requires significant modernization to meet current standards. With neighboring councils such as Dudley, Sandwell, and Walsall already utilizing NHS mortuary services, Wolverhampton’s decision aligns with regional practices.
