Hannah looked after us and showed us a lot of sensitivity throughout the process of planning. She has ensured every detail of the funeral was in place.  On the day of the funeral the Warings team were professional throughout and we cannot thank them enough for their support.

Very happy with the service we received from Jonathan and Hannah at this sad and difficult time. Everything was taken care of in a kind and compassionate manner which made it easier for our family to deal with the passing of our beloved mum.

  • 5 Ruth Patricia Hughes 16th May 2022

  • 4 Bryan James Bilsbrough 12th Apr 2022

    Thank you very much for doing the funerals for my mum and dad

  • 5 Christine Gregory 29th Mar 2022

    We have used them before and will continue to use them, absolutely no complaints

  • 5 Alan Lightbown-Whalley 28th Mar 2022

    I cannot thank the staff, especially Hannah, for the dignity, respect and understanding they showed at the funeral of my beloved Isabel. From the moment of asking them to conduct the funeral, I received help, advice and sympathy unmatched by any other funeral director I have dealt with in the past. I would more than highly recommend their service without exception.

  • 5 Peter Baylie 23rd Mar 2022

    The service we received from Jonathon and Hanna at Grimshaw Park Funeral Home was beyond exceptional, all their efforts contributed to lessening the pain we felt at the loss of my dear wife Christine, especially on the day of the funeral.
    However we felt the wait we experienced to be able to see Christine, due to your lack of facility's for embalming in Blackburn were she died, and transporting her to Preston and back, as distressing. Furthermore we are now experiencing a further wait as you have failed to keep an adequate stock of the urn we have requested for her ashes.
    So to sum up we would say that the Coop funeral care is an extremely good company but it does have shortcomings.

  • 5 Peter Noblett 21st Mar 2022

    Couldn't have been more helpful from start to finish. Even double checking on every small detail. I have no hesitation in recommending them

  • 5 Michael Simm 14th Mar 2022

    Everything went as planned which left us with no worries at all. Thankyou

  • 5 Philip Dagger 28th Feb 2022

    Jonathan and Hannah of Grimshaw park Blackburn branch made a sad time as good as it could be with their kindness and friendly helpfulness. I would happily give an excellent recommendation.

  • 4 Ronald Sterling Tate 15th Feb 2022

    All went well, except that I was told nobody needed to wear Covid masks. On the day of the funeral I was told this was an error & we had to mask up in the cars, leaving me scrambling to find enough masks for all. Thankfully I had some. When we got to the crematorium at Pleasington, we were then told that we do not need to wear masks & to be honest, whatever the rules were, everybody seemed to be making their own decisions, which was fine by me.

  • 5 Janet Fisher 14th Feb 2022

    Jonathan was lovely from start to finish he guided us through the whole process nothing was to much trouble as a family we would like to thank him so much 

  • 5 Jill White Lamont 7th Feb 2022

    Excellent, kept us informed, very helpful and caring, nothing too much trouble, very professional throughout, made a sad day worry free knowing every detail was taken care of.

  • 5 Peter Lawryshyn 3rd Feb 2022

    We could not have asked for better. Throughout the whole process from my father in law being collected to his final farewell, the care, thoughtfulness and dignity with which we and my father in law were treated was second to non.
    We were offered so much support and nothing was too much trouble.
    Thank you all at Waring McKenna you made a difficult time so much easier.
    Peter and Liz
