Hooley, Watson & Buckley is a long-standing firm of funeral directors at 7–9 James Street in Macclesfield town centre, caring for families across Macclesfield and the surrounding towns and villages. The firm arranges burials, cremations and memorial services for people of all faiths and none.
The business has been serving the Macclesfield community since 1888, and that long heritage means generations of local families have turned to it at difficult times. It now operates as part of the Dignity network of funeral directors while continuing to offer the same local, personal service from its James Street premises.
