Yes, our team regularly works with local churches including St Anne's Roman Catholic Church, St Christopher's Roman Catholic Church, Albion Church, and Hurst Methodist Church, and we are experienced in coordinating services that honour a wide range of religious traditions and personal beliefs. Whether the funeral calls for a full Catholic Requiem Mass or a simple, quiet blessing, we will liaise directly with the clergy on your family's behalf so you have one less thing to manage.
Our Ashton funeral home on Stamford Square is here around the clock, so you do not need to wait until morning to call us. Once you are ready, we will arrange to bring your loved one into our care — whether that is from home, a hospital, or a care facility in areas like Dukinfield or Stalybridge — and from that point our team will walk alongside you through the registration of the death, the paperwork, and every decision that follows.
Our funeral home sits on Stamford Square in the centre of Ashton, which is straightforward to reach from surrounding areas including Hyde and Cockbrook, with street parking available nearby for families travelling by car. The building is fully accessible at ground level, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance, a ground-floor arrangement room that comfortably seats four or five people, and an accessible toilet, so every member of your family can be present for arrangements without difficulty.
Not at all. Our Ashton funeral home on Stamford Square serves families across Mossley, Stalybridge, Cockbrook, Hyde, and Dukinfield, so wherever you are in the area, our team can come to you. If you are unsure whether we cover your street or village, please do give us a call and we will let you know straight away.
We work with Dukinfield Crematorium most frequently for families in this area, though we also arrange services at Stockport, Oldham, and Manchester crematoriums depending on your preference or availability. On the day, our team will travel with your loved one from Stamford Square and guide your family through every moment, from the arrival procession to the committal, so nothing is left to chance.
