Who We Are
| We are the longest established funeral directors in Bolton and as the sixth generation of my family business, both myself and my colleagues sincerely hope that we can help make a difficult time a little easier for you. |
| We are carrying on a family tradition that goes back over 175 years. We know and appreciate local customs and expectations, because we have served local families for years. We can equally embrace modern ideas that mean that funerals today are more personalised than ever before. We can also assist you with a direct cremation or a prepaid funeral plan. |
For your peace of mind, we are members of trade associations, The National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF). Both of these associations regularly inspect our premises to ensure that we are compliant with their codes of practice. |
| The youngest members of our family are Abbie and Oliver who, may in time be the seventh active generation of funeral directors. |
| I am the sixth generation of my family to work here. I have worked in the business for over thirty years now. My sister Claire also worked in the business until her sudden death following a tragic accident in 2004. |
| Our parents are Diana Finch (nee Livesey) and Martyn Finch Dip.FD. Martyn joined the family firm soon after his marriage and Martyn's brother Jeremy joined us in 1980. Diana and Martyn are now retired from the business, although they are both still on hand to help when required.... |
| My grandparents were Eric and Pat Livesey who will be remembered well by many local people. They started the modernisation of the business and Eric was extremely proud to have a new Chapel of Repose built in Horwich in 1971. Louis and Clara were Eric's parents and some people in Horwich may still remember them. They saw many changes in the business; one of the greatest must have been the introduction of motorised transport instead of our horse drawn hearse and coaches. |
We also have funeral directors, Kris, Harry and Jessica and John our funeral assistant, who all look after families that we assist. We try to ensure that families are looked after by the same funeral director from the first contact until the day of the funeral and beyond. This ensures continuity of care throughout. |
