Herbert Murray Funeral Directors serves families in Flixton, Davyhulme and the wider Urmston area from our independent funeral home in Ashton upon Mersey, just across the Mersey. We’re family-run, we’re available 24 hours a day, and we give every family the same care we’d want for our own.

Funerals in Flixton and Davyhulme

Many Flixton and Davyhulme families choose a service at their local church first. Urmston Cemetery on Queens Road is the local choice for burials. For cremation, we arrange services at Altrincham Crematorium in Dunham Massey or Manchester Crematorium on Barlow Moor Road, depending on which suits your family and your preferred date.

Many Davyhulme families will have a loved one pass away at Trafford General Hospital. If so, we’ll work directly with the hospital’s bereavement office, so you don’t have to chase the paperwork yourself.

Support after the funeral

Our care doesn’t end on the day. We can help with memorial keepsakes and ashes jewellery, scattering or interring ashes, and signposting to local bereavement support. See our Bereavement Help and Mementos pages, or just ask.

Our funeral home is run by Robbie Murray and Steph Douglas. Meet the team.
