Helliwells Funeral Service Ltd has been serving the communities of Pendle and the surrounding areas since 1924, making it one of the longest-established independent funeral directors in the region. The Colne branch, situated at Stott House on Burnley Road, serves as the company's main chapel and is located on the Nelson/Colne boundary. With over 100 years of experience, Helliwells is dedicated to providing a complete and dignified funeral service, taking full responsibility for all arrangements from the very first call so that families can focus on grieving without unnecessary worry.
The Colne branch offers a tastefully appointed chapel of rest with a welcoming family room where funeral arrangements can be discussed and finalised with professional and experienced staff. Helliwells provides a wide range of services including funerals, cremations, repatriation, and pre-paid funeral plans. Their impressive fleet of funeral vehicles includes horse-drawn carriages, hearses, funeral cars, and motorcycle hearses, ensuring every farewell is conducted with the utmost dignity and care.
Helliwells has a rich and storied history rooted in the local community. Founded by 'Young Helliwell' and later developed through the partnership of the Helliwell and Stott families, the firm has grown steadily over the decades. Since 1990, it has operated from its current premises on Burnley Road, Colne, continuing to uphold its longstanding reputation for quiet professionalism and compassionate care.
"After losing my mother during lockdown, Helliwells made the funeral at Skipton crematorium so easy for me and my family. All aspects were efficiently covered. Cars and flowers were organised followed by a lovely service by Jane Griffin."
— Sue J Elliott (about Jane Griffin)
