We’re a small, ethical, green funeral service supporting families and community around Rochdale. We’re Funeral Director of the Year 2024, which is a national recognition from The Good Funeral Awards. Natural Endings is an independent female-led company with over twenty-five years’ experience between us.
We provide a very personal service includes taking time to gain an understanding of you and your family’s values and beliefs and what is important to you. We provide female-led care for your loved one.
You might want a funeral that is eco, modern, traditional or totally unique. You may even want a cremation that no one attends and then you have a gathering later on. We work closely with you and can either fulfil your ideas or offer appropriate suggestions for creating a funeral that reflects your loved one’s unique life and personality.
We believe that really great funerals are created by a family / community with their own skills. They’re fully participated in not just attended.
We are recognised for our experience arranging green funerals and woodland burials.
We also arrange cremations at Rochdale Crematorium, East Lancashire Crematorium, Oldham Crematorium, Blackley Crematorium and beyond. Our funeral home is close by in Todmorden. We can make arrangements with crematoriums, cemeteries, ministers and celebrants that you’re familiar with. Or once we know a bit about you and your family, we can make other suggestions based on our local knowledge. If the crematorium doesn’t feel like the right venue to say goodbye the funeral service can be held our beautiful ceremony space where you can gather and reflect for as long as you all need.
Our funeral home is a peaceful space to visit. But we also understand that you might feel more comfortable having us visit you at home to talk to you about funeral arrangements.
We have found that since we started in 2008 that families are willing to travel a little further to work with a funeral director that they feel is a good fit and takes time to understand their needs.
Our pricing is clear and transparent and we think it compares very well with the other funeral companies in the area.
We are a recommended funeral director by the Natural Death Centre and the Good Funeral Guide.
We’re available 24 hours a day, seven days a week all year to support you if you need any support or information.
We provide a full funeral service including arranging and conducting the funeral.
We can provide a traditional or alternatively themed funeral, and are experts in environmentally friendly funerals and woodland burials.
We work with many different religious and non-religious funeral leaders. Alternatively, we can support you to lead the service yourselves.
We provide a large selection of coffins including traditional caskets, biodegradable eco-coffins, and decorative coffins.
Your choice of funeral transport including traditional black hearse and limousines, (black or white) horse drawn hearse, silver hearse and limousines, VW Beetle Hearse, motorbike hearses, vintage hearses, and even a vintage lorry.
We offer many different options but want to keep choices and costs easy to understand.
We consider our costs very reasonable compared to many other funeral directors. We are transparent about our pricing. A funeral is tailored to your needs so that you aren’t paying for a ‘package’ that has items that you don’t need in it. In order to make pricing understandable we show some ‘example funerals’ at the end of this downloadable price list.
As well as hosting funerals and memorials in our space in Todmorden we also host some therapeutic activities for bereaved people. We also host other creative activities like art exhibitions, talks and workshops.
Our hall is also for hire for trainings, rehearsals, quiet gatherings and community events.
We work with local charity Forus Tree (natural flood management) and donate towards local tree planting in order to offset the carbon foot print of each funeral that we arrange.
