We offer three funeral options

We have included a break down of costs for each of the options we offer. This includes third-party costs (disbursements). For guidance purposes we have based the cremation fees on those applicable at Macclesfield Crematorium. We are, of course, able to undertake funeral services at all other local crematoria but clearly their fees would apply.

Our pricing is transparent and provides excellent value for money. Nothing is hidden, disguised or obscured. We will provide you with an itemised estimate of funeral expenses with no obligation.

We offer financing options through Funeral Safe enabling you to spread the cost.

We will be pleased to meet with you at our premises where you can see our facilities for yourself and meet our team or in the comfort of your own home.

Things to consider when comparing funeral companies

When considering and comparing funeral companies it is possible to be misled into believing that all companies provide the same quality of products and level of service and that the only determining factor in your decision should be price. This is absolutely not the case. Funeral companies differ greatly in the quality of the standard of their professional services. Bear in mind that much of what is done on your behalf will never be seen by you.

To ensure you choose a funeral director that will provide you with the quality of care, attention and service you deserve you should consider other factors along with the cost, such as the reputation of the company, the standard of their facilities, the quality of their merchandise and perhaps most importantly of all the qualities that their staff possess. These are the people who will be looking after your family and your loved one.

We are dedicated to providing you with a choice of services and products to fit your individual requirements and budget. We are dedicated towards delivering to the highest standard and that may well be better than other funeral companies you are comparing us with.

Importantly we are members of the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors, and our facilities and the services we provide are monitored by them to ensure that we are compliant with their stringent regulations.
