A Little About Us

Memories Funerals was founded in 2018 by husband and wife David and Helen Ollerenshaw, who have spent most of their lives living in Romiley.

Having experienced bereavement themselves, they understood just how important it was for families to have someone local, familiar and genuinely caring to turn to. They also recognised that many funeral directors were becoming part of larger national companies and felt there was a real need for a truly independent, family owned funeral service at the heart of their community.

What began as a desire to help local families soon became something they both felt incredibly passionate about.

In 2021, Simon joined the team, bringing with him many years of experience in funeral directing. Working closely together, they have continued to grow Memories, with funeral homes now established in both Romiley and Offerton.

Despite that growth, our values haven't changed. We remain a small, independent business where personal relationships matter. We take the time to get to know the families we look after, listen to what matters to them and make sure every funeral is arranged with the same care and attention we would want for our own loved ones.

We're proud of where we've come from, proud of the families who place their trust in us, and proud to be part of the communities we serve.

Making the Funeral Personal

Every family is different, and there are many ways to make a funeral more personal. With our Traditional Funeral, you have greater freedom to choose the arrangements that feel right for you, including alternative coffins, floral tributes, funeral transport, visual tributes, printed orders of service and other personal touches. Additional charges apply where appropriate, and we will always explain your options and provide a clear written estimate.

Prices may change without notice. The Traditional Funeral price is an illustrative example based on the services and fees shown. The Essential Funeral is offered at a fixed package price subject to the stated restrictions. Additional services or circumstances outside the package terms may incur further charges. A full written estimate will be provided before arrangements are confirmed.
