Sharon, Dave, Kit, Emma, Jackie and team couldn't have done more to help my brother and I when our Dad passed away.
They dealt with us with the utmost care, professionalism, compassion and respect.
They took the best care possible of our Dad and ensured he had a beautiful and dignified funeral.
We were supported at every point and Sharon in particular went above and beyond to make the most difficult time as easy as she could for us.
I can't thank you all enough.

We found the team at Unsworth Funeral Directors, Bury to be very proffesional, polite and extremely helpful in our time of sorrow.
They answered all our questions and advised us on the what our late mother had in her funeral plan. They organised the OOS booklet, the choosen music, a webcast of the service for family & friends that could not attend and the funeral celebrant to do the service. The persons we mainly dealt with were Sharon and Lorna.
All telephone queries were answered.
We would recommend anyone looking for funeral advise or plans to contact them.
