About Us

A warm, friendly family-run business, Barringtons Independent Funeral Services covers the areas of Waterloo, Merseyside, Wirral and North Liverpool. All aspects of the funeral arrangements are taken care of from the moment they are contacted. 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 offers well-maintained, attractive modern chapels with neutral furnishings and well finished decorations. With two floors and plenty of room for families and visitors, 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 aspects or personalisations you want to incorporate to create a fitting tribute to your loved one. These include dove releases, horse-drawn funerals, 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.

    Barringtons provided professional and caring support for my Dad's recent funeral. They were sympathetic to our needs, which was a great comfort at a distressing time. I would highly recommend their services.

  • 5 Christine Farrell 11th Dec 2021

    From start to finish we could not have asked for anymore from them. Angie was our main point of contact and from the day we first met she put us at our ease and was the consumate professional.
    We didn't have the easiest of journeys due to admin problems but with the help of Barringtons we managed to have the funeral on the arranged day.
    I could not recommend Barringtons highly enough and am very grateful to the person that recommended them to me.

    Angie Allen replied
    Christine, Thank you so much for your kind words, it was an honour to look after you and your family.
  • 5 Gillian Stanley 6th Dec 2021

    From my very 1st call to Barringtons with Angie I knew this was who I wanted to take care of my husband. I did call others before her but as I put the phone down I knew who I would be using.
    Angie made sure every single thing we arranged went exactly to plan, she was always available when I called to ask something and I felt she cared about us and even more so my husband.
    Thank you for making this experience as easy as possible for us during this devastating time.

    Angie Allen replied
    Gill, thank you for you words of kindness, it wan an honour to look after you and your family, and it was so nice to see so many people turn up to pay their respects for such a lovely family.

    Excellent service from Barringtons especially from Julie who went the extra mile for us in very difficult circumstances can’t praise them enough and a special mention to Neil for all his help with arranging the piper for my dad’s final journey 

  • 5 Paul Heaton 10th May 2020

    End to end excellent service. Cannot commend Julie (specifically) enough for providing a professional and compassionate service under challenging circumstances.

  • 5 Nick Scarborough 10th May 2020

    Barrington's have been excellent throughout the last few weeks.

    Claire has been supportive, empathetic, and has helped me and my family at every step since my wife passed away. You get a real sense of the personal, family-run touches when dealing with the lovely Claire Barrington and her staff.

    The chapel of rest exudes a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere, and the lovely cups of tea and coffee were offered just when they were needed. The care and effort that they showed my wife while she was resting there, gave me and my family great comfort.

    All aspects of the service from Barrington's has been tremendous, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

  • 5 Val Metcalf 9th May 2020

    We were really pleased with the service we received. Nothing was too much trouble

  • 5 Lesley Zeegen 3rd May 2020

    We cannot thank you enough for all the care and respect you paid to our Mum during what is a most difficult time for us all. David Barrington was so supportive of our situation and we could not have made a better choice of funeral services than Barringtons. David showed great empathy and was very informative and guided us through a very emotional process. Many thanks again.

  • 5 Colin Benton 2nd May 2020

    Couldn't have been any more supportive during this very difficult period. Even though very limited face to face contact, julie was always there to take my calls or respond to my emails whatever time of day.

  • 5 Linda Williams 1st May 2020

    Very professional, excellent service, compassionate and very accommodating with any requests

  • 5 Patricia Bimbe 29th Apr 2020

    I had never heard of Barringtons Funeral before but after a single phone call I found them to be very accommodating and emphathetic whilst being professional. They lightened the pressure of arranging Etienne's funeral considering that he passed on unexpectedly when we least expected it. Above all the live streaming of the funeral made it possible for those who couldn't physically attend to be part of the procession. Etienne's funeral was watched all over the world including USA AFRICA and EUROPE. We thank you Barringtons Funerals.

  • 5 Patricia Lawrie 27th Apr 2020

    As a family , we cannot thank everyone at Barringtons enough for all their care , compassion and sensitivity throughout the whole planning of our Dear Mum Yvonne’s funeral. It came at such a strange time and they helped and guided us through all the restrictions that are out of everyone’s control right now, and with their help we managed to give Mum the beautiful, well thought out funeral that she deserved. Thank you so much and especially to Clare and Julie for all your kindness. Trish and Family

  • 5 Susan Roderick 26th Apr 2020

    Barringtons funeral home made such a difficult task at such a difficult time, as easy as it could be. The service received from Claire throughout has been exceptional.

  • 5 Lesley Owens 22nd Apr 2020

    Having known Neil (the Funeral Director) personally for over 40 years, our family knew Sylvia's funeral would be in safe hands. Considering the situation with restrictions due to Covid 19, everything was dealt with, with a minimum of stress. We can't thank Barringtons enough for their professional yet personal service.
