About Us
Daniel J Mellor Independent Funeral Director
With over 30 years of dedicated experience in the funeral industry, Daniel J Mellor has built a reputation for providing compassionate and personalised care to families during their most difficult times. Daniel’s journey began with a deep commitment to serving the community, which led to the establishment of his first funeral home in Gatley in 2014. This initial venture was driven by a desire to offer a more personal and supportive service, one that truly honours the wishes and needs of each family.
Building on the success of the Gatley location, Daniel expanded his services by opening a second funeral home in Urmston last year. This growth reflects his ongoing dedication to offering high-quality, caring funeral services to a wider community and families.
