Death under any circumstances is upsetting and a time when families need not only sympathy but practical help and advice. It is a time when people are not only emotional and less able to cope, but there are many unfamiliar formalities to deal with also. That’s why they need the service of a competent and caring Funeral Director who will help them through those traumatic first


places and with this in mind, Richard &

up one such local firm Richard Chew Funeral Service into a respected privately owned family funeral business, because families who contact Richard & Elaine Chew know they will receive sympathetic help and advice. Gone are the days when Funeral Directors premi s e s were gloomy depres s ing


Elaine have decided to completely refurbish their Whalley Road premises to provide the very best in funeral service accommodation available in the district. Four years ago they bought next door premises and over that period they have slowly altered them until now work has almost been completed on providing an additional service chapel and rest rooms, reception area and offices with adjoining garaging for their funeral vehicles and parking for their clients


and visitors cars. Although Richard and Elaine have only been


in business as Funeral Directors in the town for some 8 years, the support they have had from local people has overwhelmed them, Richard comments:

friend it comes as a great shock and the days ahead are not only bust) but confusing. Being a privately owned family business we feel we have greater scope to provide excellent standards of personal service whilst offering our clients a funeral which we are able to adjust to suit their finances. Myself and Elaine are here to give not only our advice and help with the arrangements but our support to the family. Being brought up in the area has helped me tremendously as many of the families who contact Elaine and myself are well known to us. R em em b e r just a phone call will bring us and relieves you of all unnecessary worry. Residing on the premises enables us to be on call 24 hours a day to help you.”
