Visiting Your Loved One

Visiting your Loved One

It is quite common for relatives to wish to visit a loved one after death. The Adult Mortuary has a dedicated visiting suite for relatives to spend time with their loved one before they are taken to your chosen funeral director. We are available by appointment only for immediate next of kin and we request that extended family and friends spend time with your loved one at your chosen funeral director.

Visiting a loved one after death at hospital involves seeing your loved one before they have been specially prepared for visits by a funeral director. The mortuary staff will prepare your loved one with the utmost respect and dignity.

There may be occasions where visiting your loved one cannot be possible, the mortuary staff or Funeral Director will discuss this with you.

Appointments are for 30 minutes. Please allow enough time to park before your appointment. During normal working hours appointments are arranged via the Mortuary on 0161 720 2255.

The Adult Mortuary provides an on call service for all out of hours mortuary enquires. It may be possible to visit outside of the routine opening hours of the mortuary.

Please be aware that staff are not on site outside routine hours and will require advance notice. Such requests should be made through the hospital switchboard and cannot always be accommodated.

Tel: 0161 624 0420 and ask to speak to the on call Adult Mortuary staff member.
