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.

Sue Allen 9th Nov 2018
My husband passed away suddenly after a short illness I felt safe and secure in the knowledge that Barringtons would look after him and help me prepare the service I wanted just as they had for my mum a year before. They introduced me to Sarah who conducted both services she as all the Barrington staff were amazing and helped me through a very difficult time. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to look after your loved one .
