Types of funeral

Whether you require a traditional funeral or something more modern, religious or non-religious, we can help. If you’re unsure what to choose, we are here to talk you through all the available options.

Our local crematorium is based within Waltonwrays Cemetery at Skipton, though we have other options available in Lancashire, Cumbria and West Yorkshire.

Chapel of Rest

Bereavement is a difficult and emotional time, which is why we are there for you every step of the way. We can visit you in your own home, or you may prefer to visit us at our Chapel of Rest in Earby.

Our Chapel provides a welcoming space where you can spend time with your loved one prior to their funeral, to reflect and say goodbye, if you wish to do so.

For Direct Cremations, we offer a 'Celebration of Life' service at our Water Street Chapel, Earby the day or the evening prior which is officiated by our own in house Celebrant, David Hartley.

We work with a number of independent businesses who can provide a range of traditional and non traditional hearses, all of these are available upon request.
