Our funeral home on Baxter Lane was purpose built in the 1980s to support Sutton and the surrounding communities including Addbotsfield, Ashtons Green, Peasley Cross, Narshall’s Cross and Burtonwood.

Originally, the living quarters of our founder, Mr Dennis Fisher, were above the funeral home, but they were converted to add additional space in 1997. We then merged with W G Dixon of Bickerstaff Street to become Fisher & Dixon Funeral Directors.

You can get in touch with us 24 hours a day by calling us on 01744 813407. We are here to support you at every step of the way.

Frequently asked questions

When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.

You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and as such we abide by The Funeral Director Code. We also have a legal obligation to try and ensure the person who is arranging a funeral has the right to do so, or has permission from those who do.

If you are aware that someone has been appointed as the administrator, you should only arrange the funeral with this person's agreement.

If there is no Will or Letters of Administration, then the responsibility would pass to the next of kin.

A Memorial is a way of creating a lasting memory to help remember a loved one.

Dignity has been established for over 200 years and is one of the UK's leading providers of Funerals and with an 'Excellent' Trustpilot rating (02/24). We are proud to help our customers every year with a diverse range of Memorial products and services to help remember their loved ones.

As well as completely customised items.To organise your Memorial contact us on 01744 813407

From 9 September 2024, there will no longer be a doctor's fee in England and Wales when arranging a funeral. This is because from this date, all deaths in England and Wales will be independently viewed, either by a relevant coroner or by a Medical Examiner and the cost will be met by the NHS.

A Medical Examiner is a specifically trained independent senior doctor who will scrutinise all deaths across a local area that do not fall under the coroner's jurisdiction. By providing a greater level of scrutiny over the cause of deaths; it is hoped that the introduction of Medical Examiners will make it less likely that unnatural causes of death will go unnoticed; that the number of deaths unnecessarily referred to the coroner will be reduced and that national data about causes of death will be captured with greater accuracy.

Medical Examiners, or Medical Examiner Officers, will also be available to meet with families, or their representatives, if they wish to discuss the cause of death.

As most families we were dreading the task of going to the funeral directors as this brought home to us the reality that we really had lost our beloved family member.

We were met at the door by Rosie, who immediately put us at ease, then talked us through the process and what was needed from us to get everything in place, Rosie also made a point of letting us know that certain aspects could still be change and we still had time to process and get our heads together.

The service went without a hitch, the flowers were beautiful. The eulogy was delivered with ease, sensitivity and warmth by the celebrant recommended by Fisher and Dixon.

The Staff on the day guided us through, nothing was too much trouble. We can’t thank Rosie and the team at Fisher and Dixon enough.

I could not fault the service that fisher and dixon provided for the funeral of my mother, I was dealt with be Rosie who was professional throughout, and made me feel at ease as it's not a pleasant thing to have to do, so thank you Rosie, hearse drivers and staff for everything.

At an extremely difficult time in our lives Rosie, Georgina and the team were the stability we needed as we navigated the early days of our grief. They helped us with every aspect of planning my husband's funeral and ensured that he had the funeral that he, and we, wanted him to have.

Thank you to everyone - I'm very grateful to you. AW

All members of the team treated my mum with dignity and respect. From collecting her from home, looking after her in the chapel of rest and the final farewell at the crematorium. The staff were very supportive throughout to our family.

Staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the process required. They were very accommodating in trying to book the funeral service to suit the family’s needs. This was much appreciated when the Coroner’s Office delayed the original Funeral date.

Their ability to provide suggestions for Order of Service and at the same time co-ordinating family requests with the Crematorium staff was much appreciated.
