Thanking Our Partners 🤍

Within the funeral profession, there are many heroes who quietly support us in the background and are too often overlooked.

They are the husbands, wives, and partners of our staff — the people who support our team day and night.
They understand that 5pm isn’t always the end of the working day, and that the meal they’ve lovingly prepared may sit waiting for hours.
They make the late-night coffee while calls are answered.
They offer a hug, a listening ear, and steady reassurance on the days that weigh heaviest.

On behalf of Ken and Shirley Deighan, we simply want to say thank you.
To the unsung heroes of the funeral world — your support, patience, and quiet strength make everything we do possible.

Did you know the team at Deighan’s Funeral Parlour brings together an incredible 100 years of funeral service experience?

That shared knowledge and dedication means families are supported with the very highest standards of care, compassion, and professionalism—every step of the way.

It’s not about how long the doors have been open.
It’s about the people behind them, ready to serve when you need us most. 🤍

“What’s it like being on call?”

We’re asked this a lot — especially at this time of year.

It’s probably easier to explain what getting ready for an on-call shift actually looks like.

At Deighan’s Funeral Parlour, our team work an on-call rota that runs from Monday to Monday.
But each evening, preparation begins all over again.

Vehicles are checked, fuelled and fully kitted — stretchers, blankets, PPE and essential consumables all in place.
We talk through what facilities and capacity are available at each branch, so everyone knows exactly where support can be provided.

The mobile phone is charged, switched on… and the volume turned up loud enough to wake a whole county.

Then there are the personal rituals — because everyone has them.
Uniforms hung somewhere easy to reach.
Keys left in that exact place.
Pen and paper ready.
Small habits that mean when the phone rings, there’s no hesitation.

We’re funny like that — but it matters.

So when you ring us, day or night, you can be reassured that there will always be a member of our team ready, prepared, and able to support you — calmly, professionally, and with care.

🎅✨ Father Christmas has paid a special visit to our Adlington Parlour! ✨🐾

He’s left behind one of his trusty postal helpers to make sure every child’s letter reaches the North Pole safely… but there’s one tiny problem — our festive friend doesn’t have a name yet!

📮🐶 Father Christmas has asked the wonderful children of Horwich and Adlington to help by suggesting the perfect name for him.
💝 He’s even left a box of chocolates for the child who comes up with the winning name!

And of course…
✉️❤️ You can post your letters to Santa right here in our magical post box.

Pop in, say hello to our cheerful helper, and help us spread some Christmas joy! 🎄✨

We really appreciate the countless messages to consider Todd Grimshaw of Shuttleworths, Coronation St for the vacancy of Funeral Director.
Sadly, he won't be able to come to Deighan's due to him looking at going into telesales or maybe back to Shuttleworths.
However, we do appreciate your assistance 😎

Another great announcement! We are recruiting for an experienced Funeral Director to add to our wonderful team!

There is something truly beautiful and dignified about seeing horses lead the way on a funeral cortege.

Earlier this week, Patricia Brooks was taken on her final journey from our Adlington Parlour to Overdale, where her family and friends gathered to celebrate her life, share memories, and surround one another with love.

An honour for us to be able to provide such a meaningful tribute. 🕊️

The main feature of our extension is the creation of a brand-new Chapel of Rest, thoughtfully designed to offer families a peaceful, dignified and comforting space. By integrating this with our adjoining chapel, we are able to provide a larger environment suitable for small chapel services — a place where families and friends can gather, reflect, and spend unhurried time together in the comfort and privacy of Deighan’s Funeral Parlour.

Our new service chapel will be equipped with widescreen presentation and full Webcast capabilities, allowing you to share photo slideshows and treasured moments with those who cannot be present in person. Whether family are nearby or scattered across the world, these intimate and sacred moments can be experienced together.

Further details on our small chapel services to be released very soon.
