Horne Brothers Funeral Directors

Horne Brothers Funeral Directors is a well-established, local, family-run business that has been serving the communities of Audley and Bignall End, as well as the wider areas of North Staffordshire and South Cheshire, for many years. The company was first set up by Dennis Cartledge, the grandfather of the current co-owners, Mark and Richard Horne. Dennis purchased the local funeral business in 1985, which was formerly owned by Les Micklewright and situated in Miles Green. After assisting as a driver and bearer for other local funeral companies for many years, Dennis bought the former chapel building in Wood Street and ran the business from there for two years.

In 2012, Mark and Richard Horne took over the business from their grandfather, who had sadly passed away earlier that year. Since then, the company has undergone several changes, including a change of name to reflect the new ownership. The premises have been refurbished, providing a comfortable office, a chapel of rest, and a large garage.

At Horne Brothers Funeral Directors, we pride ourselves on delivering a high-quality service that takes into account the needs and requirements of the bereaved family. We treat each family as though it were our own, ensuring consummate care and attention to your loved ones and providing a range of services to help you in your darkest hours.
