Vartys Funeral Directors Ltd

Varty's Funeral Directors and Monumental Masons is a third-generation, family-run business based in Ince, Wigan, serving the local community with compassion and integrity since 1936. Operating from their purpose-built premises at Darlville, Manchester Road, Higher Ince, Varty's has built a trusted reputation over more than 80 years as one of Wigan's longest-standing independent funeral directors. Unlike many funeral homes that have been absorbed by national chains, Varty's remains proudly independent, ensuring every family receives a personal, unhurried service from a small, experienced, and genuinely local team.

Varty's offers a comprehensive range of services, including cremation and burial arrangements, liaison with churches, celebrants and venues, assistance with paperwork, coffins and urns, floral tributes, orders of service, newspaper notices, and pre-paid funeral planning through Golden Charter. A distinguishing feature of the business is their in-house monumental masonry service, crafting bespoke memorials with care and skill. Private chapels of rest provide families with peaceful spaces to say their goodbyes in their own time.

As members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and SAIF Independent Funeral Directors, Varty's upholds the highest professional standards. Their commitment to transparent pricing and dignified, compassionate care has earned them multiple Wigan Business Awards, including Independent Business of the Year 2025 and a Lifetime Achievement Award for Bill Varty in 2024. The team is available 24 hours a day.
