We work with East Lancashire Crematorium, Overdale Crematorium and Howebridge Crematorium, and our team will help you choose the one that feels right for your family. On the day, we will lead the procession from wherever you are gathering and guide you through everything that happens, so you can focus entirely on saying goodbye to the person who died.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and we will come to you, whether that is a home in Harwood or a care facility nearby, to bring the person who died into our care gently and with respect. From that first call we will also begin walking you through the paperwork and registration process, so nothing feels overwhelming during such a difficult time.
There is on-site parking for eight cars at our funeral home on Bury Road, and a free public car park is available right in front of the building thanks to the nearby shops, with plenty of street parking as well. The funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible, has an accessible toilet, and our ground floor arrangement rooms, which comfortably seat four to six people, mean no one needs to manage stairs during what is already a hard day.
Yes, our team at Hardman & McManus on Bury Road is here to help families across Breightmet, Harwood, Darcy Lever, Tonge Moor and the surrounding area. Whether you are close by or a little further out, please do get in touch and we will talk through how we can support you.
We have long experience supporting Catholic, Church of England and Travelling community families in and around Darcy Lever and Tonge Moor, and we understand how important it is to honour the traditions that matter most to you.
