Serving families Since 1986

In 1986, Michael started out on his journey to become a funeral director in the hope that he could make a difference to the profession. He set out to serve the many bereaved families of Greater Manchester with a professional understanding and a caring attitude. He has been working not only in Manchester but all across the UK and Ireland.

At the heart of Greater Manchester Funeral Service are values that guide all we do. Respect, integrity, compassion, and accessibility shape every service, reflecting our family’s dedication to supporting local families with care and professionalism.

"My personal knowledge and reputation is my bond between myself and your family. I have always ensured the bereaved families I have served over the last 40 years have been cared for with dignity, respect, confidentiality and professionalism.

I have personally experienced the grieving process and the difficulties that come when making decisions for a family funeral. I know from my own past experiences the pain and hurt we suffer when we lose someone close to us, and that making funeral arrangements is one of the most stressful things a person has to deal with. With my many years of experience, and along with my family and my highly qualified staff, I am here to help you. 

You are not alone in your loss. My family and I will be here every step of the way, ensuring your requests are treated with discretion, care and professionalism."

"Let my family help your family"

Our team have been trained to very high standards and are here to guide you during this very sad and emotional time. We can help you say goodbye to your loved ones just the way you want, without any further stress. We have a first class relationship with the local authorities, clergy, cemeteries, crematoriums and medical practitioners. This helps us to provide you and your departed loved one with the best care and professional service expected at this time of loss.

We can come out to see you in the comfort of your own home or you can come in to see us at our chapel of rest whenever you feel ready.
