About Us

    About Slaithwaite Funeral Services

    We have been located at our interesting premises on Old Bank since it became a funeral home around 50 years ago. The building is the Grade II listed former Slaithwaite Free School, founded in 1721.

    The team at our Slaithwaite funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one.

    Here at Slaithwaite Funeral Services we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
