About Us
Caring for Wigan families since 1936
Varty’s is proud to be an award-winning, family-owned funeral directors, serving the Wigan community for over 80 years. We’ve built our reputation on good old-fashioned family values, trust, respect, and genuine care.
As a long-standing local business, we understand the needs of the families we serve because we’ve been part of the community for generations. Our commitment has always been to deliver thoughtful, dignified funerals at a fair and transparent price, shaped entirely around your wishes.
What makes us different
At a time when so many funeral directors have been bought out by national chains, we’ve remained proudly independent. That means you’ll never be just a number — and there are no call centres or corporate systems to navigate.
Our team is small, experienced, and local. When you call, you’ll speak to someone who knows your name and understands what you’re going through.
We tailor every service with care, offering support that’s personal, flexible, and never rushed. It’s this level of service that families return to — and recommend — time and time again.
Our facilities and standards
Our purpose-built premises in Ince provide a calm and comfortable setting for every stage of the funeral process. Families are welcome to spend time in our private chapels of rest — peaceful spaces where goodbyes can be made in your own time.
Behind the scenes, our team works to the highest standards in funeral care. As members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), we follow a strict code of practice, giving you confidence that everything is handled with dignity and attention to detail.
