Ascension & Cliff Small Funerals is a true independent, family-owned funeral director run by Robert and Kathryn Caunce and their family, with a head office in Garstang and branches at Morecambe (33 Claremont Road), Caton and Bolton-le-Sands, covering the Lune Valley, Lancaster, Wyre, Fylde and surrounding areas of Lancashire.
The firm offers burials, cremations, memorial headstones and cremation memorials with hand-carved or sand-blasted inscriptions, and a repatriation service using specially equipped removal recovery vehicles. Coffin choices range from traditional caskets to eco-friendly options including banana leaf, seagrass, wool, willow and recycled cardboard, and the firm can also arrange horse-drawn hearses and floral tributes through a local florist partnership. Pre-paid funeral plans are available through Golden Charter, with funds protected via the Golden Charter Trust.
Standard hours are Monday to Friday 9:30am-4:30pm with Saturday appointments available, backed by 24/7 emergency service and after-hours visits by arrangement. The firm markets itself on personalised, family-led guidance and financial security for pre-paid plans rather than volume or branding, consistent with its position as a genuinely independent operator serving Morecambe and the wider district.
