Lakes-based funeral directors with a wealth of experience proven over a long history
Fishwicks goes back a couple of generations to the current owners’ grandfather, John, who was a joiner as well as an undertaker in Milnthorpe. In 1967, that first John’s son, also John Fishwick, set up in business after he had served his time learning from and working for his father. He, along with his wife Valerie, built the business up and gave over joinery to concentrate solely on funeral directing in the early 1980s.
