About us

In 1985 Dennis Cartledge purchased the local Funeral Business, formerly owned by Les Micklewright, then situated in Miles Green.  Dennis had assisted as a driver and bearer for other local funeral companies for many years while running a successful driving school.  He then purchased the former chapel building in Wood Street and for the first two years ran the business from there. During this time he, along with his family and the late Richard Kennedy, was able to develop the business through recommendations and trust.  The company prides itself on delivering a high quality service that takes into account the needs and requirements of the bereaved family. 

The business is currently run by Dennis and his grandsons Mark and Richard Horne and is now situated in Ravens Lane, Bignall End.  Mark came into the business full time in 2008, after 16 years of assisting Dennis with the funeral duties.  Mark's brother Richard was welcomed into the business in 2009.  The premises has undergone refurbishments and provides a comfortable office with a chapel of rest and large garage.

The independent family run business provides a personal 24 hour, 365 day service.
