Barringtons is a privately owned family business. After working in the funeral industry for many years and following the loss of our own mums within six months of each other, we realised the need to lighten the experience for other families and provide a truly personal service.
With our natural warmth and empathy, your family will be looked after as though they are our own.
Nikki & Lisa
"My beautiful wife was given the send off that she would have wanted. Professional throughout, but above all considerate and kind, Lisa guided me through the potentially difficult decisions step by step."
— James Miller (about Lisa & Nikki)
"I can't thank Nikki and Lisa enough for the kindness, compassion, and support they showed our family during such a difficult time. Nothing ever felt rushed, and no question was too much trouble. Their warmth and professionalism truly meant the world to us."
— David Henderson (about Nikki & Lisa)
"From the moment Nikki visited me she instantly put me at ease and guided me through every detail with kindness and compassion. Nothing was too much trouble for her and she kept in regular contact with me and offered the most amazing support at such a distressing and difficult time."
— Vickie Mitchell (about Nikki)
"Nikki greeted us with a much welcomed hug. It was the hardest thing me and my sister have ever had to do. Nikki went above and beyond to make such a dreadful time as stress free as possible. Nikki was there with us at Green acres — we can't thank her enough for paying her respects to our dearest dad with us. That meant a lot to us."
— Tanya Goodman (about Nikki)
"You really did look after her, and us, as if we were family, and that means everything to us. We wouldn't have wanted her to be looked after by anyone else. Your compassion and attention to detail is second to none."
— Vic Travers (about Nikki & Lisa)
"The first time I met them was two years ago when my little sister passed away. They treated her with such dignity, made her look beautiful and peaceful, and helped us have a funeral that was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, they felt like family—supportive, caring, and always there with an open ear when I needed someone to talk to."
— Lauren Wyatt (about Nikki & Lisa)

I first met nikki with my sister after loosing a dearest dad. Nikki greeted us with a much welcomed hug. It was the hardest thing me and my sister have ever had to do. Nikki went above and beyond to make such a dreadful time as stress free as possible. Nikki showed such sympathy and empathy. Totally understanding of how we was feeling. I hadn't heard of Green acres before but nikki suggested this magical majestic place. That is where we said goodbye to dad. Nikki was there with us at Green acres. We can't thank nikki enough for paying her respects to our dearest dad with us. That meant a lot to us. I highly recommend Barringtons for going that extra mile 👌 ❤️

Barrington’s Funeral Directors were exceptional in arranging my father’s funeral. From start to finish, the care and professionalism shown made an incredibly difficult time so much easier to manage. Nikki was amazing — she took all the stress out of everything and handled every detail with kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. Nothing felt rushed or overwhelming, and we always felt supported and listened to. Thank you so much for making such a hard experience feel manageable and dignified. I would highly recommend Barrington’s, and especially Nikki, to anyone needing funeral services.

From the very beginning, they made us feel cared for and listened to, guiding us through everything with patience and understanding. Nothing ever felt rushed, and no question was too much trouble. Their warmth and professionalism truly meant the world to us. Every detail was handled with dignity and care, and they helped create a beautiful farewell that really reflected our loved one. We’re so grateful to Nikki and Lisa for making such a heartbreaking time a little easier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing genuine, heartfelt support.

Nikki and Lisa are incredible women. The first time I met them was two years ago (August 2023) when my little sister passed away. They treated her with such dignity, made her look beautiful and peaceful, and helped us have a funeral that was truly unforgettable. From the very beginning, they felt like family—supportive, caring, and always there with an open ear when I needed someone to talk to. When my great-grandmother recently passed away, they were there once again, helping my great aunties prepare for such a special day. They gave us the chance to say our final farewell in the most meaningful way. (13th October 2025) With Nikki and Lisa, you get professionalism, respect, and understanding, but you also gain two wonderful women who feel like friends. I strongly recommend them to anyone—they will make your loved one’s final journey truly special. I can’t say thank you enough! Myself and my family appreciate you so much! NO.1 women based funeral directors would give you 1000000 stars if I could! Thank you once again Lauren ❤️
