We provide with every service



The Alty Funeral Service is an independent, family-owned funeral director serving Blackburn, Preston and the surrounding areas. For five generations, we have been supporting families with compassionate funeral care, building a trusted reputation that has been established for more than 100 years.
We understand that every farewell is unique. That’s why we offer a comprehensive range of in-house and trusted partner services to help you arrange every aspect of a funeral with support and confidence. From traditional funerals to bespoke celebrations of life, we’ll work closely with you to create a service that reflects the wishes of your loved one and the needs of your family.
Our history in family matters has enabled us to provide the highest standard of care to every family we support. We take pride in offering exceptional facilities, experienced funeral directors and a personal service that is delivered with compassion and attention to every detail.
From your first call to the day of the funeral and beyond, we are here to support you every step of the way. Whether you need practical advice, reassurance or ongoing bereavement care, our dedicated team will be there whenever you need us.
Our team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, ready to provide immediate assistance and support whenever you need it most.

We are here to support you throughout the difficult time, by providing advice on how to manage bereavement and offer grievance support.

Give yourself and your loved ones a peace of mind with a pre-paid funeral plan. The cost can be tailored to what suits you and can be amended at any time.

We provide a standardised price list of everything you’ll need when arranging a funeral with us. We also include third parties, such as cemetery fees.
Our dedicated funeral directors can meet with you in the comfort of your own home to discuss the funeral arrangements. Alternatively, you’re always welcome to visit one of our funeral homes if you prefer.
We provide guidance and support with every decision throughout the funeral arrangements.
We’ll explain the registration procedure and the documents you’ll need, guiding you through each step. We’re here to help you complete all the necessary paperwork.
Your loved one will be cared for with dignity and respect in our Chapel of Rest until the day of the funeral.
Viewing of a loved one at our private Chapel of Rest may be made by appointment, throughout the 7 days during our office hours at Preston or Blackburn. To visit the Chapel of Rest out of office hours will be made at an additional cost. To view our Blackburn and Preston office hours, please see our contact us page.


One of our three unique Rolls Royce hearses will carry your loved one to the funeral service and their final resting place.
Your choice of coffin or casket can be personalised in our on-site workshop to reflect your wishes and create a fitting tribute.
The disbursements fees (cemetery, crematorium, minsters fees, etc.) will be added to the fees above.
