Our wealth of experience as the Wirral's largest independent funeral directors goes all the way back to 1896. Today, we are a fourth-generation family business and are just as committed to providing you with the very best funeral care, whether you are looking for a religious or non-religious service, a burial, cremation or green funeral. We have an extensive network of branches and Chapels of Rest across the Wirral, an immaculate fleet of Jaguar funeral vehicles and offer 24-hour support, seven days a week.

Placing a notice in the local paper is a good way of informing people of the funeral and giving them access to practical details such as where and when it is being held. You may however only wish to inform people of your loved one's passing. For example, if you were having a private service. This way people can still be informed of the death but the funeral service details can be kept private.

Working with them we are able to offer our customers a wide selection of quality coffins and caskets. Every single coffin is tailored to the individual specification of our Funeral Directors. Over 95 per cent of these coffins are Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. This means they ensure that all of the selected materials can be traced back to wood from responsibly managed forests.
