Yes we are owned and run by the Livesey family, we are carrying on a family tradition that goes back over 150 years. We know and appreciate local customs and expectations, because we have served local families for years. Not all Funeral Services are as they appear. Many businesses have been swallowed up by conglomerates, which are devoted to profits, not to the community. They don't however change the name above the door.

Yes, we are always available - 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

Yes, we offer The Golden Charter pre-paid funeral plan. This plan enables you to cover every possible funeral cost in advance, so neither your family nor estate will be asked for a penny more, for the arrangements selected. Golden Charter now also operates the Help The Aged Funeral Plan; application forms and details for both these plans are available from the office or by post or you can CLICK HERE for an online application form.

Yes, we are members of the National Association of Funeral Directors. Qualified members of the British Institute of Embalmers carry out our hygienic treatment. There are links to these sites from this site. We willingly abide by the code of ethics of these organisations. You may notice that some Funeral Services are members of the Funeral Services Council - only businesses owned by the Cooperative Society or by SCI (a large American company) are members of that organisation.

We are just outside the centre of Horwich, Bolton. We can give directions and/or maps to those who are not familiar with the area. Click for online map

Some of the additional services we can offer include ordering floral tributes, making arrangements for meals or buffets following funerals, booking accommodation in a local hotel, handling donations to charities on your behalf, arranging press announcements, memorial stationery and service sheets.

Yes, we have details of willow coffins, woodland burials and of course we can arrange an environmentally friendly horse drawn funeral.
