A beautiful rural location

Beetham Hall Crematorium

In 2017 the family created an onsite crematorium. Set in a beautiful rural location for the use of all Funeral Directors.

Beetham Hall Crematorium was established in 2017. After many years of thought by founders of Fishwicks Undertakers, John Fishwick and his family were wanting to create what in their view was the most dignified service in the best surroundings they could for families at their most difficult time.
