Barringtons looked after and prepared a funeral for my late father. Chris and David were who we dealt with and always wanted to aid us during the difficult time.

I cannot fault the care and service I received from Barringtons on the loss of my amazing mum. From the first phone call I felt cared for and supported to plan the very best send off. Angie Allen went over and above to travel from another office to see me in Formby at my chosen time and convenience. She was very personable and put me at ease straightaway. My mum was well cared for throughout making me want to see her again and I was glad I did. Everyone I met at Barringtons made us feel that is was an honour to care for my mum and our family - nothing was too much trouble and the celebration of her life was everything I wanted and she deserved. I cannot recommend them enough. Thank you so much for your compassion and support at such a difficult time. Ruth & Chris

From the first contact at home right way through everyone at Barringtons was superb and helped me and my family get through this tough time by taking away the worry of getting things right. A specially person through to the end was Sarah Horton, celebrant, who put together an amazing final tribute to my wife. Julia who was in overall charge and contributing to making the funeral easier to get through. I cannot rate this company high enough they were a credit to their profession. I thank you alll

From the minute we phoned up enquiring about a funeral for my father-in-law we couldn't have received a better or more caring service. Claire was lovely and was so helpful, even ordering the flowers for us, which were beautiful. Her father, David, took the service for us, and he spent a few hours at our house finding out all about my father-in-law, and everybody said what a lovely services it was. I couldn't fault them and would recommend them to everyone if you want a caring and dedicated and personal service at a difficult time.
