The Butler family started arranging funerals in Widnes in the early twentieth century and were joined by the Moars some forty years later.
Our premises are furbished to a high standard and it is our current policy to buy new Limousines and to change them regularly, so ensuring that the quality of our vehicles matches that of our service.
Our staff are available to help you 24 hours a day every day of the year; we are as close as your nearest phone. We offer a full range of pre-payment funeral schemes.
In 1964 the family decided to sell Moar & Butler's to another family business, Walter Craven Limited, since when Desmond Craven, his son Derek and now his grandson Charles have run the company with the help of a small, dedicated team.
A second funeral home was opened in Hough Green in 1995.
Our private Chapels of Rest are open every day
Monday - Friday: 8.30am - 8.00pm.
Saturday: 9.00am - 12.00pm.
Sunday and Bank Holidays: 10pm - 2pm.
We are a well established, independent funeral service, committed to providing the highest standard of care and service to each family that we serve. Our company has grown through establishing a high reputation and through personal recommendation.
We believe that a funeral should be as individual as the person who has passed away. We, therefore, offer a wide choice of services which can be tailored to the needs, wishes and requirements of each family.
Please take care in selecting a funeral service. The information given is designed to be clear and self explanatory but if you do have any further questions please contact us. We can visit you at home to make funeral arrangements or to advise on memorial selection, if required.
