What the firm does
W J Beswetherick & Son handles funeral arrangements and supports families through the decisions that come with them. Its own description of the work frames this around questions families commonly face:
- How the funeral process works
- Cremation or burial
- What happens with the will
- How to get a death certificate
- What the funeral will cost
- Whether their wishes will be listened to
The firm presents itself as a source of patient, calm and sympathetic guidance through that process, and says it organises funerals that fulfil the family's wishes.
