Blakey's Funeral Service in Crigglestone, Wakefield now trades as part of Howarth Funeral Service, which incorporates the Blakey's brand at this chapel of rest. Howarth is an independent, family-owned funeral director offering traditional funerals, direct cremation, and basic simple funerals.
Howarth Funeral Service is a fourth-generation family business, founded when Raymond Howarth became a funeral director in Wakefield in 1940; it is currently run by Ian Howarth, who has held his funeral directing diploma for nearly 50 years. The group operates chapels of rest across Wakefield, Thornes and Crigglestone, with its residence and office in Ossett, and offers pre-paid funeral plans through Golden Charter.
The Crigglestone chapel serves the local West Yorkshire community as one of several Howarth-run locations, giving families access to a long-established, locally rooted independent funeral director.
