We work closely with a number of local churches and venues, including Our Lady of Compassion, St Peter's, Formby Methodist, and St Michael's and All Angels, so a religious service in the heart of the community is very much something we can arrange. Our team will liaise directly with the officiant or minister on your behalf, taking that burden off your family. If you would prefer a non-religious or humanist ceremony, we can help with that too, ensuring the service reflects your loved one exactly as they were.
When someone you love has died, you do not need to do everything at once — but when you are ready, calling our team at the Formby funeral home on Brows Lane, even in the middle of the night, means we can talk you through what needs to happen next. We can arrange for your loved one to be brought into our care, and we will handle the practical steps around collection, paperwork, and registering the death with the relevant authorities in West Lancashire. We are here to take as much of that weight as we possibly can, so you can focus on your family.
The parking bays directly outside our funeral home on Brows Lane offer two hours of free parking, which is usually plenty of time for an arrangement meeting, and there are also payable car parks a short distance away should you need longer. Our building is on the ground floor throughout, with wheelchair access and an accessible toilet, so everyone in your family is able to be with you when you come to make arrangements. Our arrangement room seats four people comfortably, and we can also accommodate a couple more in the reception area if you need a little extra space.
Yes, our team at Formby on Brows Lane supports families across Freshfield, Hightown, Altcar, Thornton, and the wider West Lancashire area. Whether you are close to us or a little further afield in Southport or Springwood, we will come to you and guide you through every step. Distance is never a barrier to the care we offer.
On the day of the cremation, our team will bring your loved one from Brows Lane and lead the funeral cortège to the crematorium, ensuring everything runs smoothly and at a pace that feels right for your family. You can personalise the service with music, readings, or tributes, and our funeral directors will be with you throughout to offer quiet support. Afterwards, we can help you think about next steps, whether that means scattering ashes somewhere meaningful in Formby or arranging a keepsake.
