From start to finish the service we received from Formby Funeralcare was above and beyond our expectations. We found everyone to be very kind, helpful and considerate. Our funeral director Alex and Gill and Sarah treated our loved one with the utmost respect.  They were very knowledgable and nothing was too much trouble. The funeral went off perfectly and how we wanted it to be and we have no hesitation in using Formby Funeralcare again and highly recommend them.

  • 5 Gillian Silver 13th Feb 2024

    I have been very impressed with the warmth, support and professionalism of Sarah, Gill, Kayleigh and Debs when arranging my mum’s funeral. They have been very supportive and answered all my questions and concerns. I wasn’t sure how easy it would be to arrange this funeral due to having to do it all by phone and email and some complicating factors but Formby Funeralcare made it straightforward.
    Many thanks to you all,
    Gillian Silver

    I recently lost my Mum. Her funeral was conducted professionally, everything was carried out by caring people, in fact I was that impressed I’m going to the Formby  Funeral Care to organise a Plan for myself!

  • 5 Julie Masterson 7th Dec 2023

    My mum passed away in October.  This was a very distressing time for all of my family.  My mum who was originally from Kent needed repatriation back down to Kent.  The whole funeral was dealt with by the coop funeral services in Formby and their Beckenham office.  The staff were very professional and helpful and I was kept informed every step of the way.  They took care of everything from start to finish, this took the pressure of myself and family.  I would like to mention Hayley in the Formby office and Amanda in the Beckenham office who dealt with my mums partner very compassionately, also Robert who organised the funeral on the day, all of them very professional and a credit to the company.  I would highly recommend the Coop funeral services.

    From start to finish Formby Funeralcare were thoughtful, sensitive, professional and prompt. The staff were a pleasure to deal with and made it all so much easier. Can't thank them enough, from the people who collected my dad, the organisers - who were thorough and understanding, and the staff at the burial. They gave us excellent advice and encouraged us to do things the way we thought it would work. Thank you so so much.
