We serve families across Runcorn and Widnes, and the surrounding communities. Our team has been part of this area for 40 years, so we know the local churches, crematoriums and neighbourhoods well. Whether you're arranging a funeral close to home or further afield, we'll make sure everything runs smoothly and feels right for your family.
Yes, our team is here for you 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Whenever you need us, whether it's the middle of the night, a weekend, or a bank holiday, you can call and speak to someone who will listen, answer your questions, and arrange to bring your loved one into our care. There's no pressure and no rush. We'll talk through what happens next at a pace that feels right for you, and we can arrange everything over the phone if that's easier, or you're welcome to visit us on Victoria Road in Runcorn whenever you're ready.
Yes, we have a chapel of rest at our Victoria Road premises where you can spend time with your loved one in a peaceful, private setting. Many families in Runcorn and Widnes find it helpful to visit before the funeral, whether that's to say a final goodbye, bring flowers, or simply sit quietly for a while. Our team will arrange visiting times that work around you, and we'll make sure you feel comfortable and supported throughout.
We work with both Walton Lea Crematorium and Widnes Crematorium, depending on what suits your family best. Once you've chosen where you'd like the service to take place, we'll coordinate everything with the crematorium staff, from booking the chapel to arranging the timing and music. On the day, our team will be there to guide you through each step, so you can focus on saying goodbye.
Absolutely. We arrange services at local churches including St Michaels Church, St Edwards Church, St Marys Church and All Saints Church, as well as non-religious ceremonies at the crematorium or other venues. Our team will help you choose readings, music and tributes that reflect your loved one's beliefs and personality, whether that's a traditional church service or something more personal and contemporary.
