We're a funeral home in the heart of Droylsden, serving the communities of Clayton, Openshaw, Beswick and Audenshaw since 1993. Our clients describe us as "patient, kind, and compassionate". These are words we live by every day as we strive to give everyone who comes to us the best experience possible when arranging a funeral.
Throughout our time here we've built strong relationships across the area with local churches, other places of worship and crematoriums.

We have longstanding relationships with a number of local churches and venues, including St Mary's CofE, St Stephen's RC, St Cross CofE, St Andrew's CofE and Droylsden Methodist, as well as Edge Lane Methodist.

Our team is experienced in arranging services across a wide range of traditions and will make sure every detail reflects your wishes.
We are here around the clock, so whenever you need us, day or night, you can call our Droylsden funeral home on Manchester Road and we will be ready to help. Our team can arrange for your loved one to be brought into our care from their home, a hospital, or a care setting in the area, including locations across Openshaw and Beswick. Once they are with us, we can sit down with you at a time that suits your family to talk through the next steps, the paperwork, and what a meaningful send-off might look like.
