R Banks & Son (Funerals) Ltd has cared for families in the Wigan borough for generations, and the Standish office at Clifford House, Grove Lane continues that tradition of genuinely independent, family-run funeral care. Led by Managing Director Carina Halliwell Jones alongside Jennifer Halliwell, the team combines formal qualifications from the British Institute of Embalmers and NAFD membership with the personal touch that only a local, family-owned firm can offer.
Families in Standish and the surrounding villages can arrange traditional or bespoke funerals, direct cremations, and pre-paid funeral plans through Golden Charter, with support available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The branch also offers a full range of caskets, urns and keepsakes, along with headstones and memorial masonry to help families create a lasting tribute.
As part of the wider R Banks & Son group, the Standish branch draws on decades of shared experience while remaining rooted in its own community, giving families confidence that every detail, legal, practical and personal, is handled with care.
