๐Ÿ…Top Three Rated & Master Manchester Rated We are a fully independent family run funeral directors, where we pride ourselves on offering a loving, caring, and personal funeral service to the people of Oldham and surrounding areas. Collins & Son Ltd are recognised by the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD). Our history is that extensive we are unable to find many records dating to when the companies were first established, we do however have one particular invoice dated April 9th 1886 sent out by Dr. Robert Wild. Dr. Robert Wild then opted to leave the companies to his grandson Mr Robert Wild allowing him to take over the Empress Ballroom situated on Washington Street Oldham. Under Mr Wild's care the companies went from strength to strength, moving premises to Featherstall Road where at this point Darren Clark joined the companies as a funeral director. In 1997 we moved again to Edward Street, Werneth due to the land being compulsory-purchase order by Tesco and we still remain here. Darren then was placed in charge to allow Mr Wild to retire and before long it was agreed that Darren would take over the companies to make sure it would remain a family business. With Darren at the helm, the companies have grown even more, all whilst being one of the youngest NAFD Presidents, the youngest ever County Commissioner for St John Ambulance and now by royal appoitment Depty Lord-Lieutenant for Greater Manchester. Luckily his son Michael decided to come on board nearly 17 years ago to ensure the family tradition continued, whilst having two young daughters himself, who we hope will step into the family business and continue our legacy well into the future. Heywood is an appointed representative of Golden Charter Limited trading as Golden Charter Funeral Plans which is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FRN:965279).

The family of the late Barry 'Baz' Worsley have requested that we publish the following obituary notice on their behalf.

We kindly request those acquainted with Barry to share this notice, ensuring that all relatives and friends are informed of the arrangements. Furthermore, we invite you to extend messages of condolence and support to Barry's family during this time.

To commemorate Barry a tribute page has been created and can be accessed via the following link: barryworsley.muchloved.com
This platform allows loved ones to share photographs, engage in reminiscences, light virtual candles, and make donations to Dr Kershaw's Hospice.

Additionally, a collection box will be placed at the Crematorium for those who prefer to make donations in person rather than through the tribute page. Please note, donations will be immediately passed on to the family due to our strict no handling charitable donations policy.

This notice, along with the tribute page link, will be accessible on our website at www.oldhamindependentfuneralservices.co.uk for individuals not on our page.

Thanks, Michael

๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ We understand that whilst unattended funerals โ€˜direct cremationsโ€™ are picking up in terms of popularity - not every family member will see this as a valued solution.

Itโ€™s important that we as the organisers reassure families that it is a lower cost and less fuss but that doesnโ€™t mean less care, less appreciation and less love. ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป

I just wanted to come on and express my love and gratitude to the community of Failsworth. ๐Ÿ™

Today was truly overwhelming to see so many people gather together in Failsworth to honour and remember those who gave their lives for our freedom was both humbling and deeply moving. The service was beautifully poignant, and it was lovely to see so many familiar faces coming together to pay their respects.

Itโ€™s always heart-warming to witness the community of Failsworth unite in such a powerful way, people of all ages standing side by side, showing that the sacrifices made will never be forgotten.

It was a privilege to contribute in this way. A huge thank you to Paul Wadsworth's brave family for stepping up to release the doves in what must have been an extremely emotional day for them.

Next year we will look to further improve our input to make the occasion even more special for all who attend.

A huge well done to Aysha for so thoughtfully leading the service, and our thanks to Father Paul for his touching reading.

Weโ€™d also like to thank Tom for sharing his wonderful voice, your singing added such warmth and emotion to the morning. And finally, a sincere thank you to all involved in today.

Lest we forget. โค๏ธ

โœจ Every farewell is unique just like every life. โœจ

From stunning traditional services adorned with elegant white and cream flowers, to a motorcycle hearse leading a final ride for a lifelong enthusiast every farewell tells its own story.

For one veteran, a Union Flag was respectfully draped across his coffin with a single poppy placed upon it a touching tribute to his service and pride.

From personalised coffins to processions around the Etihad.

Each order of service, floral tribute, and vehicle is personally supplied and produced by our team, ensuring every family receives a truly individual and memorable farewell.

Because no two lives are the same and neither should their final journey be. ๐Ÿ•Š๏ธ

โšฝ๏ธ Phil Foden was in fine form last night scoring two in the Champions Leagueโ€ฆ. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

Have you nominated a charity or good cause to benefit from the raffle we are doing yet? You still have time.

Check out the post below and comment with a local charity or good cause.

We have a pair of match worn shirts from the treble winning season signed by Phil and framed up for grabs. But we need to decide on the charity / good cause first.

Get sharing. Get nominating. Thereโ€™s over 1000 registered charities and non-profits in Oldham alone.
