William Houghton Funeral Director - Fulwood Nothing can ever prepare us for the emotional shock of losing a loved one.

Tonight the LEP have decided to print som**hing we have been aware of for some time and that has been reported else where in the country but not here in Preston ?

The headline by it's very nature is meant to sensationalise a story, to sell papers, but I can reassure my community and clients that most of my colleagues in the funeral industry in the Preston area are both caring and professional in the work they carry out.

The LEP on-line names the Funeral Directors but the printed copy doesn't - the on-line article can be read at the following link -

Again , please be aware that this is a distressing read -

This is also a excerpt from the Fuller Inquiry Phase II interim report -

In May 2022, Nigel Robinson Wright was sentenced to 25 years’ imprisonment for sharing indecent images of children, extreme pornographic images and images taken at Martin’s Funeral Directors in Preston where he worked. Nigel Robinson Wright posed for photographs next to open coffins and naked deceased people and offered to supply a man with crystal m**h to facilitate sexual activity in the chapel of rest at the funeral home. The two also shared sexual fantasies about the deceased people at the funeral home.

The Inquiry wrote to Martin’s Funeral Directors to ask the company to describe the security measures and access controls it had in place at the time of the offences and what if anything it changed as a result. It did not provide this information.

Following further worrying reports on the funeral industry yesterday, especially with reference to the Preston area.
Any funeral home in the UK, of any credibility, would welcome a call for statutory regulation. This would prevent unsuitable and unqualified pop-up funeral homes, which in the current situation, happens far too often. It would also ensure right, proper and full facilities for care of the deceased, by all funeral homes and not only those that choose to do so.

We welcome anyone with any concerns about any aspect of a funeral to contact us. We have an open door policy, and we would confidently invite any concerned family to see our full facility, if it helped them to be put at ease when choosing us to care for them.
- below is a report from the Independent.

Some may find the following article distressing.
