Saunders & Son Funeral Directors was established in the late 1800s by James Saunders in Grange-over-Sands and has provided a professional, compassionate service for over 100 years under the philosophy 'our family supporting your family.' It is now run by Liam Appleby, a sixth-generation funeral director who joined the family firm in 2007 alongside his grandfather Lloyd Saunders and took over the business in 2020, operating from West Winds, Allithwaite Road, Grange-over-Sands, with 24-hour availability.
The independent, family-run firm arranges traditional and direct cremation funerals (direct cremation from £1,395), denominational and non-religious ceremonies, home visits for consultations, and both cemetery and woodland burials, coordinating memorial donations for families across Grange-over-Sands and South Cumbria. A private chapel of rest is available on the premises, and the business publishes transparent pricing online with no upfront deposits required. Saunders & Son is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors, having passed a successful inspection in January 2023 reflecting the standards it maintains.
