Tottington branch looking festive. Thank you Emma

Always lovely when this handsome pair, the beautiful Oscar and Oliver are part of one of our family’s funerals

We would like to say a huge thank you to all our local Priests, Ministers, Celebrants etc. Who work with us on a regular basis to ensure our families receive exactly what they need to say their final goodbye to their loved ones. It matters so much and we have the privilege of working with some of the best who go above and beyond with genuine care and attention to individual needs. Special thanks to David Ireland, Jill Bolton, Danielle Winship. To Father Foley of St. Marie’s. And to Father Paul Canon of Guardian Angels ( and his amazing right hand woman Sharon). They’re are so many more of you so forgive me if we’ve not personally named you but you know who you are so thank you for your care. We can’t post this without mentioning the legend Reverend Hugh Bearn, previously of St. Anne’s in Tottington who we had the privilege of working with for many years and would also like to give a special thank you to Mandy Hagan for going above and beyond to find a BSL interpreter for an upcoming funeral when we’d exhausted all means and thank you to the interpreter Andy who’s stepped forward at the last minute. Our job can break your heart at times but it’s easier working with likeminded, caring people like you. Thank you.

Funeral directors will 'always be here' to support LGBTQ+ community A funeral director in Bury is raising awareness of the options available for LGBTQ+ people after losing his husband.

Despite working in the funeral sector and discussing my funeral wishes, probably far more often than most people my husband has no idea what songs I’d like for my memorial.

He does know I want to be cremated and have my ashes put in a firework 🧨 (or lots of fireworks 💥) so I suppose that’s something.

Do you have a partner like mine?

How will you make sure you get what want?

Wishing our families friends a colleagues a Happy Easter 🐣

If you do need us over the Easter period please do call as our lines are open 24/7 and our teams are on call to help.

This is NOT a special offer!

Our direct cremations start at £995 with cremations taking place locally - it may not suit everyone and it may not be your choice but they are growing in popularity.

Whatever your funeral wishes our team are always happy to help and answer any questions you may have, please feel free to give us a call or drop us a line.

I had an interesting morning chatting funerals with some non-funeral professionals.

It's interesting to hear the responses to my funeral facts but learning today that only half of people know whether their partner wants a burial or cremation was an eye opener.

It may not be the most fun subject but talking about your wishes is the best way to make sure you get what you want.

Reach out if you'd like the chat about your wishes.

It's great that it is now easier than ever for consumers to check prices before committing to a funeral director.

We are proud to be compliant and we are also proud to be able to offer funerals from £995.

Support for bereaved families to be extended Bereaved cohabitees with dependent children will soon be eligible for additional financial support, following a successful debate in the House of Commons today (24 January 2023).

Our friends at Bury Hospice have launched a Bereavement Drop-in Group.

It is an opportunity to get out and meet new people, giving participants the chance to share how they feel, helping to prevent
isolation often felt after a bereavement, and a chance to gain new friends.
