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.

  • 5 Kathleen Adams 27th Apr 2023

    I was extremely happy and pleased with the way Barringtons handled my husbands funeral arangements. All the staff were very friendly and easy to talk to and attentive to my needs (especially Clare Woods in the early stages), helping me to decide and chose what I wanted. Also keeping me informed and updated throughout the process. Initially it all seemed a bit overwhelming but in the end and on the day everything went off very smoothly and David Barrington himself was also very helpful and excellent in the way he conducted things.

    When my husband passed away, I was recommended Barringtons Independent Funeral Services - Formby as "nice people". Indeed they are nice, but also they are kind, gentle, attentive and caring, as well as friendly and truly professional. I cannot praise them enough for a great support they gave me at the darkest time of my life. They have lead me and my family through the whole process and the service with a warm personal touch. Thank you so much, I do wholeheartedly recommend Barringtons Independent Funeral Services - Formby.

  • 5 David Campbell 16th Mar 2023

    Just to say how wonderful the care and attention that was given to us from Clare . From the beginning of the process to the end she was there at all times to deal with our worries and anxieties.  
    A truly wonderful person and I wouldn’t know how we would’ve coped without her. You could never do better for your deceased loved one than placing them in the care of Barrington’s

  • 5 Julia Ship 6th Mar 2023

    The service provided by Barringtons, Formby, was outstanding.  As next of kin for my sister-in-law and living a long distance away, we were helped from the very beginning by the staff at Barringtons, and most especially Clare.  We were kept up to date with all the procedures and advised and guided with great care and kindness by Clare.  Bespoke requests for elements of the service were organised with attention to detail and thoughtfulness.  We highly recommend Barringtons, Formby for their professional, compassionate and understanding service.

  • 5 Paula Thompson 3rd Jun 2022

    We as a family had an excellent service from Barringtons. From the first initial contact to the end of the funeral we were shown nothing but compassion and empathy. Clair Woods is an excellent advocate for your service and made a very painful time lighter, which then allowed us as a family to grief without the worry of making all the arrangements. The small and personal touches made it a very personal funeral for our mum.

    Thank you for your kind words Paula
