We offer three funeral options
We have provided a breakdown of costs for each of the options available, including any third-party costs (disbursements). For guidance, we have based the cremation fees on those applicable at Macclesfield Crematorium. We can, of course, arrange funeral services at any other local crematorium, though please note their own fees would apply.
Our pricing is transparent and provides excellent value for money, with no hidden extras. We will provide you with an itemised, no-obligation estimate of funeral costs so you know exactly where you stand.
You are welcome to visit us at our premises to meet the team and take a look at our facilities. Or, if you would prefer, we can come to you and discuss everything in the comfort of your own home.
Our Price Promise
At Andrew Smith Funeral Services, we understand the importance of feeling supported during such a difficult time. That is why we are dedicated to giving you the very best care and service, while keeping our prices competitive.
To give you extra peace of mind, we offer our Price Promise. If you find a local funeral provider offering the same service as us at a lower price, we will match it.
We keep a close eye on both national and local providers to make sure we are always offering the best possible value. If you would like to use our Price Promise, we just need to see a written quote from the other provider before we can go ahead on your behalf.

How funeral companies differ and what to look for
When you are comparing funeral companies, it can be easy to think they are all pretty much the same and that price is the only thing that matters. But that is far from the case. The level of care, attention, and professionalism can vary greatly, and some of the most important things we do for you and your loved one happen behind the scenes – things you may never actually see.
That is why it is worth looking beyond cost. Consider things like a company’s reputation, the standard of their facilities, the quality of the products they offer, and most importantly, the people themselves – since they are the ones who will be supporting your family and caring for your loved one.
We believe in giving you choice, so you can find services and products that fit both your needs and your budget. Our commitment is to provide care and service to the very highest standard, and we truly believe this is what sets us apart.
We are also proud members of the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors, which means our facilities and services are regularly checked to make sure they meet their strict professional criteria.
