When arranging a cremation through our Cheethams funeral home, we work with four local crematoriums, including Agecroft, Peel Green, Overdale, and Howebridge, and we will talk through each option with your family so you can choose the one that feels right. On the day itself, our team will guide the procession and be with you throughout, making sure everything runs smoothly so you can focus on saying goodbye to your loved one.

There is a small free public car park at the side of our Bolton Road building, and street parking is also available nearby, so families coming to us from across Worsley and the wider area should find it straightforward to reach us.
