R. Banks & Son (Funerals) Ltd is a leading independent, family-run funeral directors serving Wigan and the wider North West region. Established in 1921, our heritage is built on a foundation of trust, dignity, and a steadfast commitment to the families we serve. Now managed by the Halliwell family, we have grown from a small local enterprise into the largest independent firm in the area, with multiple dedicated branches including our head office at Halliwell House in Pemberton.
We understand that losing a loved one is one of life’s most difficult experiences. Our professional team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing a sympathetic and personal service to guide you through every arrangement. Whether you require a traditional burial, a modern cremation, or a simple unattended service, we ensure every detail is tailored to honour the individual life of the deceased.
Our facilities include private chapels of rest where families can spend time in a peaceful environment. We also take great pride in our fleet, which features modern Jaguar XJ vehicles alongside a unique 1938 Rolls Royce Silver Wraith hearse. As experienced monumental masons, we also offer bespoke memorials to create a lasting tribute. At R. Banks & Son, we combine traditional family values with professional excellence, providing you with complete peace of mind when it is needed most.
