Alderson & Horan is an independent, family-run funeral director based in Burnley, with additional offices in Crawshawbooth (Rossendale) and Burnley town centre. Run by Stephen and John, who between them have over 40 years of experience in the funeral industry, the business was founded after the pair felt a larger corporate acquisition no longer offered the personal service families deserved.
Services include full funeral arrangement, coffins and caskets, floral tributes, and transport by hearse and limousine, with a Victorian horse-drawn carriage available as an alternative option. The firm also offers pre-paid funeral plans, repatriation, headstones and memorials, help with legal and administrative matters, charitable donation facilitation, and SAIF Care aftercare support.
Alderson & Horan describes its approach as taking complete responsibility for every detail to minimise the burden on grieving families, an ethos reflected in customer testimonials praising staff for treating them 'like family.' The business is registered with the NAFD and SAIF.
