Funerals for Sale Moor families

Sale Moor has a strong community feel, and many families here want a funeral that reflects that – a service at a local church, a gathering at a local pub or club afterwards, or a cortege that passes a favourite place on the way. We’re happy to plan all of this for you. For cremation, the nearest crematoria are Altrincham Crematorium in Dunham Massey and Manchester Crematorium on Barlow Moor Road. Sale Cemetery on Marsland Road is close by for burials.

If your loved one died in hospital – Wythenshawe Hospital is the closest for many Sale Moor families – we’ll liaise with the bereavement team and bring them into our care once the paperwork is ready.

Honest prices, no pressure

Funerals are often an unexpected cost. That’s why we give every family a written, itemised estimate, and never push extras you don’t want. Our direct cremation is £1,550 and our simple funeral is £3,390, both including third-party fees. We’ll show you exactly how a more personal funeral adds up.

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