Simpson & Wilde Independent Funeral Directors

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We are ever so grateful to each of the families who take the time to leave us reviews.

Being a new company it is especially hard in a field dominated with long standing businesses.

We realise how important it is though to share our values of offering affordable funerals without compromising on quality, standards and professionalism.

If we have had the privilege of taking care of you and your family please feel free to share your thoughts with us either by:

Here at Simpson we have seen an increase in marketing activity from some national direct cremation providers.

Many people aren’t even aware that their local independent funeral director offers the same direct cremation services, let me assure you that this is something we have always offered.

What makes us different?
• Our team of qualified staff all live and work in our local community.
• Our team are here to guide and support you and your loved ones.
• Your loved one will be transferred into our care at the earliest opportunity, and they will remain in Hartshill with us until the cremation takes place.
• Our non-attended cremations are carried out here in Newcastle-Under-Lyme within days of the paperwork being completed and the ashes returned in the following days.
• We can arrange for your loved one to be dressed in their own clothing and you can visit them in our chapel of rest.

How much does it cost?
A local dignified direct cremation arranged by our team here at Simpson & Wilde costs only £1050.00.

If you’d like to plan for the future, we can also arrange a direct cremation Golden Charter funeral plan which would cost £1390.00.

If you are considering a non-attended or direct cremation for a loved one’s funeral, or for making your own funeral arrangements in advance with a pre-paid funeral plan, then please do speak with us on 01782 616034 or visit www.simpsonwilde.co.uk for further information.

Are you family owned?

Independently owned and managed.

We're not a corporation, and we're not connected by bloodlines. What we are is family- showing up for one another with compassion, humour and care. Sometimes that looks like late nights and long days.

Simpson & Wilde isn't just where we work - it's where we live out our values together.

Because if we can't be family to each other, how could we ever be family to the people who trust us at the hardest moments of their lives?

Sarah Mountford

Honeysuckle Flowers
We have worked with Sarah for a number of years and consider her to be at the top of her profession.

The tributes she creates for our families are second to none and we would not recommend anyone else to carry out our work on behalf of the families we serve.

We know the importance of creating good professional relationships and working together to ensure that our families receive only the very best.

It is for that reason why we choose to work with a select number of providers to collaborate with.

Steve Game-Blackmoor of Last Rites Ltd

Steve realises that the funeral of a loved one is one of the hardest things in life that many of us have to organise. It’s also the last thing we can do for them, so we want to get it right.

He creates epic and authentic ceremonies that you will remember for all the right reasons.

We have no hesitation in recommending Steve to our families.

Each funeral service we arrange is as unique as the person it’s honouring, and we let that guide our approach. We help you in planning a funeral service that reflects your preferences; whether that’s for a traditional service or something a bit different.

Our traditional cremation prices cover everything you'll need to give your loved ones a dignified, professional and affordable funeral.

In July we took on the Snowdon Challenge to raise funds for our local hospice Dougie Mac.

Today myself and Steve Game-Blackmoor of Last Rites Ltd had the privilege of handing over the grand total amount of...

£2485.00!!

A massive thank you to everyone who donated to this wonderful local cause that does so much for the people of North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent.

We look forward to another fund raising challenge for them next year, let us know your ideas on what you think we should do in the comments below.

Supporting the communities of Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle.

Putting families first, not profits.

When someone you care about dies, it can be difficult to know how to say goodbye – or to know where to start when it comes to arranging their final farewell.

That’s why we’re here. As experienced and empathetic independent funeral directors, we help you through the process of arranging a funeral, providing you with professional, practical and emotional support.

However you wish to celebrate the life of the person you’ve lost, we’ll be there to ensure they receive a funeral service that’s worthy of their memory.

Life is like a train journey.

People come and go. Some stay for a few stops, some ride with you for miles.

Some leave before you’re ready to say goodbye. But every person teaches you something even if they’re not meant to stay forever.

The key is knowing when to hold on, and when to let them catch their next train.

Because not everyone is on the same journey and that’s okay.
