  • 5 Allison McGovern 2nd Jan 2024

    I would highly recommend West Derby Funeral Care. From the very first visit with Louise she was so lovely as was Chris. Everything ran smooth, they always kept in touch with arrangements. They definitely went the extra mile. Excellent service

  • 5 Christine Barry 2nd Jan 2024

    At such an upsetting time when you lose a loved one, you want the people you deal with to arrange your loved one’s funeral to be kind, sensitive and personal to you as a family. Louise, Chris and Pam all had such qualities and guided us seamlessly but sensitively through the whole process as I’d never had to arrange a funeral before. Louise even went the extra mile by sourcing a similar coffin elsewhere just incase the one we’d chosen couldn’t be made in time, given the Christmas holiday. Pam was very kind when she opened up on Boxing Day for us to visit Colin and Andy was lovely on the actual day of the funeral. All in all, they made a stressful, upsetting period so much easier to bear.

    I would like to thank Louise, Chris, Kelly and Pam for their outstanding kindness to me whilst arranging my mums funeral. They thought of everything and eased any anxieties I had.

    Many thanks!

  • 5 Alex Poole 11th Feb 2023

    The whole group who looked after us, gave the caring and consideration these hard times need, Louise was so understanding and excited at our take on how to send my dad off, which spurred me on to do the best I could. Andy, took time to make sure we all had exactly what we needed to give my dad a trip to his service worthy of his life and lifestyle, even if a few holes in the road got in the way, Andy made it work. I couldn't thank you enough. Fabulous all the way xxx
