Yes, our team at Pearson Collinson on Allerton Road supports families across Woolton, Mossley Hill, Garston, Wavertree, and Allerton itself. Whether you are arranging a funeral close to home or need us to travel a little further, we are here to help and can talk through everything at a pace that suits your family.
There is street parking nearby along Allerton Road, including pay and display spaces on the main road, and our funeral home is fully accessible at ground floor level with a wheelchair accessible entrance and toilet. If it helps to have a landmark in mind, we are in the Allerton area, close to the famous Penny Lane - made well-known by The Beatles - which many families find a useful reference point when making their way to us for the first time.
We arrange funerals for all religions and cultures, and our team at Pearson Collinson takes care to understand what matters most to your family and faith community. Liverpool is a city with a rich and diverse heritage, and we work with local churches, both of the city's great cathedrals, and other venues to ensure the service truly reflects the life that was lived.
When someone you love has died, you can call us at any time - our team is available around the clock to bring your loved one into our care from wherever they are in Allerton, Garston, or the surrounding areas. Once they are with us, we will sit down with you at our ground floor arrangement room on Allerton Road, talk through the paperwork at whatever pace you need, and help you take each next step without ever feeling rushed.
We work with Springwood, Anfield, Thornton, and Widnes crematoriums, and we will help you choose the one that feels right for your family and the kind of service you have in mind. On the day, our team will guide you through everything - from the arrival of the procession to the committal itself - so that you can focus entirely on being together and saying goodbye with dignity.
