Little and Caine Ltd is one of the few family run, independent funeral directors serving the Barrow-in-Furness, Dalton-in-Furness, Grange-over-Sands and Ulverston areas of West Cumbria. The business has a proud history dating back to 1948, when Gilbert Caine began his career as an undertaker. The firm grew through the generations, with Gilbert's son David joining in 1959, and in the 1980s the businesses of L V Little & Son and Gilbert Caine amalgamated to form Little and Caine Ltd. Today, the third generation of the Caine family — Paul, Helen, and Pamela — continue to run the business, carrying out nearly 600 funerals a year.
The Dalton-in-Furness branch, located at St Margarets, 48 Ulverston Road, is part of this well-established network. The team is known for their highly trained, sensitive staff who provide genuinely caring service focused on the needs and welfare of each family. Services offered include traditional funerals for both burial and cremation, use of chapels of rest, funeral plans, memorial arrangements, and assistance with registration of death and press notices. Little and Caine prides itself on its commitment to supporting families through one of life's most difficult moments with compassion and professionalism.
