George Hill Funeral Directors is a family run independent business based in Hazel Grove that serves the community with all manner of Funeral Arrangements. We offer a 24 hour service to ensure that we are available in your time of need.
George Hill Funeral Directors has serviced the community of Hazel Grove for many years.
Jonathan Alcock & Sons took over the running of George Hill Funeral Directors in 2005. We know our trade and along with the traditional aspects of funeral arranging we can move with the times and look to accommodate the many different requirements and wishes of our clients who want to give their loved ones the most appropriate and dignified final goodbye.
We are proud to serve the areas of Didsbury, Stockport, Cheadle, Poynton, Bramhall, Cheadle Hulme, Wilmslow and all areas throughout Manchester, Cheshire and beyond.
At George Hill Funeral Directors we prefer to offer bespoke tailored funerals over set price plans, unless you are looking to have a Direct Cremation or Simple Cremation.
Direct Cremations – a popular alternative to traditional Cremation Funeral Services. Typically, a Direct Cremation takes place without a formal funeral service, mourners, or a procession. However, there are variations available.
Whilst we cannot control third-party costs and disbursements, we can manage our professional charges. We have chosen to absorb the price increases and our professional charges will remain unchanged from 2025.
We have compiled a Funeral Options Price Comparision Chart to help you to compare the services we offer across our various funerals. These include our Bespoke Funerals, Direct Cremation Funerals and Standardised Funerals.
A pre-paid funeral plan is a secure and cost-effective method of ensuring that your funeral is arranged and paid for with the minimum of fuss. Our plans are remarkably easy to complete.
When a death occurs, along with it being hugely upsetting, it can also be a very overwhelming and confusing time. The information provided here is a step-by-step guide of what will happen, and what you need to do, in the days following the death.
Another service that we offer free of charge is holding in storage a file containing your wishes. We can ensure your wishes are carried out by holding your details and your requirements on file.
We are so pleased to share that we have recently added a very special Memorial Postbox in the grounds of our Funeral Home in Cheadle. We warmly invite the families we have served, along with the wider bereaved community of Stockport, to write and send letters, messages or cards to their departed loved ones.
Capturing a small part of your loved ones ashes in a beautiful and meaningful piece of jewellery is a really special way to hold your loved one close. Your loved ones ashes are respectfully and carefully encased in the jewellery or keepsake for you to treasure always.
