Came across Owen's website looking for a funeral director for my father's funeral. Their website was laid out well, information was clear. I did not approach them in advance and my first face to face interaction was with the funeral operatives who took my father into their care in the middle of the night. Professional, kind and compassionate and timely. The following morning I called Owens and spoke to Alex, our funeral director, who runs this company with her mother. My family and I went in to make arrangements. Alex sent a list of questions for us to discuss before our appointment..eg limo numbers, coffin types, flowers, clothes, it was a comprehensive list that covered everything. To discuss everything before we attended to make arrangements, was extremely helpful saved time and we were all in agreement! The premises are bright airy and modern and we sat i front of a co.fortable fire on a cold day. Before we left Alex asked what music dad liked..in unison we replied country and western, Alex replied oh thats good Ill play some for him while he is with us! We took clothes in and dad's favourite aftershave. We chose not to view but the option is there. The day of the funeral Alex arrived at the house, her uniform was splendid, the funeral operatives were excellent, our lovely driver was so respectful but had a quietly fab sense of humour, needed to deal with my family. The celebrant,Jeanette was organised by Alex and comes highly recommended. Alex skilfully and compassionately guided us through the whole process and my family and I could not be more grateful. I highly recommend using Owens Funeral Service for professionalism, compassion and value for money. Thank you for making a sad process and easy one.

I cannot thank Lorraine and Alex and the team at Owens funeral directors enough . In a time of emotional upset and grief they were absolutely professional and caring from the out set . The service was beyond our expectations, kind and caring and nothing was too much to ask . They guided us through a difficult time and I cannot thank them enough . From the bottom of our hearts we can’t thank you enough .The Mountford family !  ❤️

  • 5 Kevin Ramsden 16th Mar 2026

    We recently used Owen’s Funeral Service for our dad’s cremation.

    From the moment we stepped into Owen’s Funeral Service in Liscard Village and met Alex we knew our dad would be taken care of in the most respectful way and our family would be well looked after.

    Alex went above and beyond to make sure each and every detail was perfect, she made the saddest time of our lives a little more bearable. 

    The professionalism from Alex could not have been any better, her kindness, thoughtfulness and reassurance was exemplary.

    We would 100% recommend Owen’s Funeral Service.

    On the day of our dad’s cremation 12th February 2026 Alex and the team were caring and supportive to our family.

    We are heartbroken to have lost our dad (Ted) but so grateful to Owen’s and Alex for making everything so much easier during those first few painful weeks.

    You offered us the best advice and our wishes were met at all times.

    Thank you for everything Alex.

    A personable approach is always what you need in these very sad times.

    You deserve a 5 star rating.

    Thank you again 

    Di and Kev xx

    Mum died at home

    We chose Owens as we wanted a highly rated independent funeral directors for our dads funeral. They were excellent from start to finish. Nothing was too much trouble, their pricing was also clear and unambiguous. I dont think we could have placed our beloved dad in to better hands. We would have no hesitation in recommending them. Its just a pity that we cant give them more than 5 stars

  • 5 Andrew Forshaw 27th Feb 2026

    Amazing I really needed to find this company
    We were I a gorride Jam
    When my mum passed away L& Genwould not pay off her funeral allowance as she got got to pay her monthly she had dementia so it's not on..But Ownes funrals stepped in and let me pay In chunks and very kindly gave me some discount as they could see I was panicking
    From the first day to the wake I felt that they were with me as the hardest time in my life
    I cared for my for 6 years with a horrible dementia desiease

    Alex was a super star I would recommend to go with Owens so the care and attention can be yours to at a very difficult time
    This is what we need back in our communities a proper caring small family business

    My mum looked impeccable when we went to see her

    If you have got quotes for more I wouldn't go with any other firm then Owen and the quote could be less then you think

    Forever thank you to Alex and team

  • 5 Elizabeth Allen 27th Feb 2026

    The friendliness, professionalism, and total compassion shown during, and after, the process of arranging the cremation and internment of my husband's ashes could not be faulted - they went over and beyond the usual call of duty to ensure everything was to our wishes. My family and I highly recommend Owens, and when the occasion next arises will most certainly return to their services.

    They are amazing!
    They truly care for your loved ones as well you and your family.
    Their support is unmeasurable and cam’t do enough for you, nothing is too much trouble for them,
    Their individual personal touches are why they stand out from the rest. 
    We would not have had as much precious time with our dad, had we had chosen anyone else.
    They certainly are the best in their field. 
    We are and will be forever grateful to all the Owens team. 
    They are like family to us now xx

  • 5 David Cox 3rd Feb 2026

    From the first, point of contact I was most impressed with the
    professional yet caring service provided by Owens. a family business personally supervised by a mother and daughter team of Lorraine and Alex. my late dearly beloved wife, Tanya could not have been in better hands. to prepare her for her final journey. The business premises and Chapel of rest, were spotlessly clean, and luxuriously furnished and all my arrangements both at the crematorium and at the Thanksgiving concert, to celebrate my wife's life, were carried out to the last letter. I would have no hesitation in recommending Owen's Funeral services.

    Hi David, Thank you for taking the time to express your sincere gratitude. It really was an honour to look after your dear wife during such a difficult time. Thoughts are with you always, Kindest regards Alex, Lorraine and the Owens team x

    Owens Funeral Services delivered outstanding care during a very difficult time. Lorraine and Alex handled my father-in-law’s funeral with genuine compassion and attention to detail. Every request was met without hesitation, and they consistently went above and beyond to support the family in every way.

    They communicated clearly, guided us through each step, and created a respectful and dignified service that reflected exactly what we hoped for. They were patient, understanding, and always present when needed even in out of hour times.

    Their professionalism and empathy made a hard experience much easier to manage. Im so grateful for everything they did and would confidently recommend Owens Funeral Services to any family looking for trusted support. Gary & Susana

  • 5 KATIE THOMAS 28th Nov 2025

    My dad had started a funeral plan with Owen's a few years ago. He unfortunately passed suddenly, and I am grateful he chose this place.

    Lorraine and Alex, from the first meeting and throughout, have been the most caring, understanding and compassionate pair. Nothing has been too much trouble, and everything has felt personalised. This difficult time has also brought me comfort, when I have first hand seen the care they have for my dad, and myself. 

    I am forever grateful for everything they have done, and I have never seen a hearse so beautifully dressed. From plenty of conversations had, they became to know my dad's likes and dislikes and without any ask, they added many personal touches that my dad would have loved.

    Thank you so much Lorraine and Alex for caring for my late dad, Dave Thomas. Xxx

    lorraine Murphy replied
    Hi Katy, Thank you for your kind words of appreciation. The pleasure was all ours to take care of your lovely dad and his final farewell. You did him so proud. Best wishes Alex, Lorraine and the Owens team x
