About Us

Quality personal service and recommendation has helped to build the firm into one of the largest in the area...

Because people who entrust their funeral arrangements into the hands of Fred Hamers know they receive practical help, warmth and understanding from the family and staff, who will also help them through those traumatic first few days following the bereavement.

John, the firms chairman for the past 40 years says: "Fred Hamers aim is always to offer a professional yet very personal service as a family differs in their requests, so therefore each funeral is unique and we do everything possible to ensure it will be a dignified event."

Over the decades the firm has expanded greatly. By the early 21st century there would be no fewer than 8 funeral homes serving the North West as well as an in-house memorial division and a funeral planning division. Our fleet are renowned across the country and regularly travel great distances to be of service.

The company is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors, and boasts several holders of the associations Diploma in Funeral directing amongst its staff. Several of our Funeral Directors are licensed members of the British Institute of Funeral Directors.

The respect accorded to the departed and the bereaved by Fred Hamer and his family has happily been transmitted to the present generation now running the family firm.
