Situated on the mouth of the River Mersey, the city of Liverpool and its surrounding areas are home to just over 2.5 million people. There are 51 funeral directors, operating funeral homes across the city.

Historically, Liverpool was a vibrant port, welcoming sailors, merchants and immigrants from all across the globe. It had Britain’s first black community, dating back to the 1730s, and the oldest Chinese community in the whole of Europe. That cultural diversity is still evident in the demography of the city, with a high proportion of Irish, Welsh, Asian and African-Caribbean residents. The city also has one of the highest proportions of Catholics in the UK.

Funeral directors in Liverpool are therefore well-versed in serving the needs of a richly varied population, covering all religions and beliefs. Funeral homes are spread throughout the city and its suburbs, with a choice between various independents, national chains and family-run businesses.

Liverpool City Council has two crematoria and six cemeteries, located mainly to the very north and south of the city.
