Not all funeral directors are the same. Many firms are no longer family owned.  Whilst they may retain the family name, they are in fact owned by large funeral companies.

I am the only joiner, builder and funeral director in South Ribble still a practicing and fully independent firm, who together with my 2 daughters, son and grandson, are proud to remain so.

My own shire horses can be used to transport your loved ones, as part of our funeral services.

Whilst I am a Funeral Director myself, you are of course welcome to use your own family firm if you so wish. 

You will find that we offer far more flexibility for families than a traditional Churchyard or Crematorium and naturally will do our best to accommodate any special requests you may have.  We hold funerals 6 days a week 

Do feel free to contact me to discuss any queries you have, or I will gladly arrange an appointment to meet you in person, either at your home or here at the woodland burial ground.

If you need help with any aspect of arranging a funeral, please do phone me (Geoff Whalley) on 01772 612848
