A Legacy of Care : Saunders & Chorley Funeral Directors

For over 100 years, Saunders & Son has been dedicated to supporting families in Grange-over-Sands and the surrounding areas. Founded by James Saunders and passed down through five generations, the business has been a trusted name in funeral care.

Louis Chorley, a respected and valued member of the community with over 50 years of dedicated service, has now passed the torch to Liam, allowing him to blend both family legacies with a shared commitment to care and support.

Liam, now at the helm, merges the values and ethos of both families, ensuring Saunders & Chorley Funeral Directors remains committed to providing exceptional care and support during life’s most difficult times.
