About Us
A family-run business, Barringtons Independent Funeral Services covers the areas of Formby, North Sefton, Waterloo, Merseyside, Wirral and North Liverpool, helping the bereaved with all aspects of the funeral arrangements. They will try to ensure the same funeral director consults directly with the family about arrangements for the day throughout the planning process.
The Barringtons funeral home in Formby offers well-maintained, attractive modern chapels with neutral furnishings and well-finished decorations. You can drop by to discuss funeral arrangements, for help and advice, or even just for a chat.
Barringtons specialise in a range of funerals, from traditional burials and cremations, to more non-traditional ceremonies, such as eco or ‘green’ funerals. They will try to cater to any alternative ideas or personalisation you want to incorporate, for a fitting tribute to your loved one. These include dove releases, horse-drawn hearses, flower tributes and fly-past tributes.
Other products and services are also available, such as caskets, memorial jewellery, urns, condolence books and photo frames. Barringtons are also able to help with organising obituary placements, donations from guests and taking names at the funeral.

Very thoughtful and helpful. I felt confident that all arrangements would be carried out. They took the pressure off at a stressful time.

You done a great job. My contact Beth really went above and beyond, she thought of all the things I hadn't. Its not a great time for you and Beth was always available to answer all my queries. There where some nice touches too, like walking in front of the hearse. A photo of my mother on the coffin, just little things like that. She is a credit to the company. Thank you so much for being there.
