On the day of a cremation service, our team will bring your loved one to the chosen venue — such as St Giles Church in Newcastle-under-Lyme — for a service before travelling to the crematorium, or the service may take place at the crematorium itself. We will talk you through the order of the day in advance so nothing feels uncertain, including timings, what the committal involves, and how long the whole occasion is likely to last. Our aim is that your family can be fully present with one another, knowing we are quietly managing every practical detail around you.
Our team at Marsh & Son is here to help from the very first moment, and you do not need to have everything figured out before you call us. One of the most immediate things we can arrange is the careful transfer of your father into our care, whether that is from home, a hospital, or a care home in the Newcastle-under-Lyme area. Once he is with us, we can sit with your family at a time that suits you — in one of our private arrangement rooms on Friarswood Road — and take things one step at a time, with no pressure and no rush.
Marsh & Son has been caring for families in Newcastle-under-Lyme and the surrounding communities since 1866, making us one of the longest-established funeral homes in the area. That continuity means many families come to us having had a parent or grandparent in our care before, which we consider a real privilege and a responsibility we take seriously. Our funeral home on Friarswood Road has two private arrangement rooms where we can meet with your family in comfort, and we also have a chapel of rest where you are welcome to spend time with your loved one before the funeral.
We have long-standing experience arranging services across a range of faiths and traditions, and we work closely with local clergy and places of worship to honour what matters most to your family. Services can be held at churches including Holy Trinity RC Church in Newcastle-under-Lyme, St James The Great in Clayton, or St Mary's in Mucklestone, depending on your wishes. Whether your family follows a particular faith or prefers a non-religious ceremony, we will listen carefully and shape the service around the life that was lived.
Yes, our team at Marsh & Son covers a wide area around Newcastle-under-Lyme, including Loggerheads, Madeley, Market Drayton, and many of the surrounding villages and communities. Whether your family is based in Silverdale, Knutton, or further afield in Shrewsbury or Stafford, we can come to you and guide you through every step of the arrangements. Distance is never a barrier to the care we provide.
