Co-op Funeralcare, Rochdale
95 Manchester Road, Rochdale, OL11 4JG
Every area of Rochdale has its own character, and our team here understands the people and places that make this community unique. That’s why local families know they can rely on us when they need support and you can too.
We support families from across the area, including Cutgate, Kilpatricks, Royton and Middleton. We take time to understand what matters most to you and help you arrange a funeral that reflects personal wishes and traditions, including many Catholic and Church of England services.
If you need to arrange a religious or non-religious funeral, or one that reflects someone’s culture or heritage, we can help you. A funeral arrangement meeting with us is a conversation over a cup of tea as we decide and arrange things together. If you need us, come and see us on Manchester road.
