Carol Brooks 11th Mar 2024

Very professional and supportive to me. Everyone was kind to me and helpful. I found them to be friendly and put me at at ease. Alex talked me through everything and kept me informed. Whenever I had a question it was answered promptly. Their overall service on the day of the funeral was very good, Malc talked me and the family through everything. I could not fault them at all, they are very good and would recommend them.

Both Alex and Malc were friendly and professional. We felt supported and the service went well. Thank you again for everything.

    Alex and everyone involved with a part in mum’s funeral were caring and professional at the same time. Having never organised a funeral before they explained each step of the way. Mum was treated with dignity and care and we were kept informed as to where things were up to. I feel we had a lovely personal service for her and we all felt a sense of comfort afterwards. Thank you to you all.

    As soon as we entered Abbey Funeralcare in Tyldesley we were immediately put as ease by Alex with his caring nature and his helpful explanation of the options available to us. Throughout the whole process the team couldn’t do enough for us and it made a difficult period for us seem not as daunting. Alex is a credit to the team and I would definitely recommend you to anyone who was in need of your services.

  • 5 Helen Wolfenden 3rd Jan 2023

    Alex at Abbey was extremely professional and guided me through the process of my mum's funeral with care and understanding. The support I received throughout was excellent and his colleagues on the day, including Philip Parmley, the celebrant made sure everything went smoothly. I cannot express how grateful I was in the support I received.

  • 5 Denise Lilley 5th Dec 2022

    From even before the death of our family member we were supported and treated with great respect and compassion. Thank you all

  • 5 Lynda Unsworth 14th Nov 2022

    The funeral of my husband was a day we made him proud I’m sure. The speeches and the photos were lovely. Even the hiccup of the wrong song at the end which was eventually corrected made the terribly sad day a little lighter. 
    The only downside was I was told there would be a donation box which wasn’t there and I feel we missed a lot of them as there was a lot of people attended. 
    Abbey otherwise provided a respectful and caring service.
