Who are NC Funeral Directors?

We’re a family business, caring for your family.

When someone you love dies, you shouldn’t have to deal with a faceless organisation.

At NC Funeral Directors, you’ll meet real people. You’ll meet Debbie, Ashley, Charlotte and Stevie. You’ll meet the people who genuinely care about helping you, listening to you and getting every detail right.

We’re an independent family funeral director serving families across Lancashire with locations in Blackpool, Fleetwood, Preston and Bispham.

From the first phone call through to the funeral itself, we’ll guide you, listen to what you want and we will take care of the details. We understand, what you are going through is overwhelming and perhaps you aren’t sure where to start or what questions to ask. You don’t have to know exactly what to do. And that’s ok, we will help you, that’s what we’re here for.

5 Stars – Outstanding Care, Compassion and Professionalism We cannot thank Ashley and his wonderful team at Northern Cremations enough for the care, kindness and professionalism they showed while looking after George Fagan. From the very beginning, Ashley and his team were a credit to their profession. They made what was an incredibly difficult time for our family so much easier, putting everyone at ease and ensuring that every arrangement was handled with care, dignity and compassion. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and they made the whole process feel simple and stress-free, allowing us to focus on what really mattered. We would also like to express our sincere thanks for their choice of celebrant, David Thomas, who delivered an excellent and heartfelt eulogy. His words were beautifully put together and provided a fitting and personal tribute to George. The kindness, attention to detail and genuine compassion shown by everyone at Northern Cremations meant so much to our family. We are absolutely delighted with our choice and could not have wished for better people to guide us through such a difficult time. Ashley and his team are a true credit to the funeral profession, and we would wholeheartedly recommend Northern Cremations to anyone. Thank you once again, from all the Fagan family.

I had to arrange a simple cremation for my friend of 50 years and I couldn't have picked a better company than NC funeral directors. My initial phone call was dealt with by Hannah and she completely put myself at ease,such a calm ,knowledgeable and professional young lady....what an asset and made an appointment for me to attend their office where I was greeted by Ashley the owner who talked me through the whole process ,again very professional and personable. If anyone is in need of a funeral director in the future I can guarantee you won't get a better service anywhere. Thank you to Ashley,Hannah and all at NC Funerals Highfield Rd for making a sad occasion less stressful....Kind regards Joe

Wonderful support from Ashley and his colleagues at NC Funerals (Blackpool). I cannot speak more highly of the service and the professionalism shown to myself and my family. From the first call to the last, everything was made so easy, and I am so very grateful. My mother was treated with dignity and total respect at all times.

On behalf of the family, I just wanted to express our sincere gratitude to Stevie and colleagues at NC. Sadly our second time using NC but once again we had the very best support, care, professionalism and compassion. Stevie in particular is a credit to the profession and made a difficult time much more manageable. All I can say to others looking for a funeral director is put your trust in NC to look after your loved one and they will take complete care of everything. Once again, thank you for all you did for us .

Writing on behalf of my grandad and the rest of the family…. We don’t know where to start to say our thanks to Ashley and Hannah of NC funerals for the wonderful, kind and caring manner in which they looked after Ann, our much loved wife, mum and Nana. We must express a special thanks to Hannah for her excellent manner in the way she treated our family at this sad time. She always made us feel welcome and comfortable, never without a smile. We will be forever grateful. Ron Jenkins and family

Debbie dealt with the funeral of my late brother and I could not have asked for better support and service at a difficult time. On the practical side, all the costs were fully explained iin advance and there were no surprises. It was a church service followed by a committal service at the crematorium and there was good liaison with both the church and crem. I can highly recommend NC.

We recently said goodbye to my dear mum and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a more supportive and compassionate team to guide us through it. From the very beginning Debbie was incredibly kind and helpful and her support over the past few weeks has meant so much to our family. Everyone at NC treated my mum with such grace and dignity and those who visited her after she passed said she looked peaceful, beautiful and very well cared for. Thank you all for helping us give her the send off she truly deserved. We are ever so grateful. Joe & Family

I want to thank all at NCCremations, Fleetwood for the patience, understanding and care extended to us at what was an extremely difficult time. Ashley and the lovely Stevie McManus helped us provide my dear brother, Eric Williams, with the funeral service he deserved. They introduced us to David Scholes, a Celebrant, who conducted a beautiful service at Carleton Crematorium on 21st August, 2021. I live 150 miles away in Northampton so all the arrangements had to be done remotely which gave rise to the question “will it be alright on the day.” It turned out to be everything we could have wished for, and much more. Everyone at NCCremations has our heartfelt thanks and we have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I can not thank Stevie McManus enough for all her loving tender care she gave to us as a family in the recent passing of my late mum and dad. She is so passionate about her job and went above and beyond her role. Stevie is a credit to NC Funerals and we as a family would 100% recommend her to take care of your loved ones.

My Mum Clara's Cremation was held on the 17-2-18 arranged to perfection thanks to Ashley and Charlotte at Northern Cremations. They helped us with everything from the beginning to the end and we couldn't have had anything more dignified. They are so friendly and caring nothing to much trouble, which means a lot at such time of great sadness. They arranged for us to meet Angela Ridings a very kind, caring, and compassionate minister who delivered a warm personal and dignified eulogy to my Mum. I would highly recommend Northern Cremations to anyone, they are a 5***** company. Thank you for your very compassionate and professional service it means alot to me Christine and my family X
