We work with Oldham Crematorium, Rochdale Crematorium and Middleton Crematorium, so your family can choose the one that feels most fitting — whether that's closest to home or simply the one you prefer. On the day, our team will travel with your loved one from our funeral home on Rochdale Road to the crematorium, and we'll be by your side throughout the service to make sure everything runs as you'd wish. We're happy to talk you through exactly what to expect at whichever crematorium you choose, so nothing comes as a surprise.
We're here for families across Shaw, Royton, Oldham, Chadderton, Middleton and Rochdale, so wherever you are in the area, our team can be with you. Rochdale Road puts us in a central position to reach families quickly, and we'll always come to you if that's easier than visiting us in person. You only need to call and we'll take care of everything from there.
You can call us at any time, day or night, and our team will come to bring your loved one into our care from wherever they are, whether that's a home, a hospital or a care facility anywhere from Oldham to Rochdale. Once your loved one is safely with us at our Rochdale Road funeral home, there is no immediate pressure to make any decisions — we'll guide you gently through the paperwork and next steps at your own pace. The most important thing right now is simply to let us take that weight off your shoulders.
There is street parking along and around Rochdale Road, which most families find straightforward to use when visiting our arrangement room. Our chapel of rest is in a separate building just around the corner, and there are a couple of dedicated parking spaces there specifically for families coming to visit their loved one. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and we also have an accessible toilet on site, so please do let us know in advance if you have any particular needs and we'll make sure everything is ready for you.
We arrange all kinds of funerals — religious services, humanist ceremonies, civil funerals and entirely personal send-offs with no religious element at all. Our team will listen carefully to what mattered most to your loved one and help you shape a service that feels true to them, whether that's held at Rochdale Crematorium or a venue of your choosing. There is no single right way to say goodbye, and we'll support whatever feels right for your family.
