"Julie and Josh couldn't do enough for us after the loss of my dad — they kept checking in with us and gave us so much help to give my dad the best send off he deserved."
— Diane Seddon (about Julie)
"Barringtons really did make everything so much less daunting. The team from start to finish were all amazing and I really do think they should be recognised for the outstanding work they have done. I will be forever grateful to Barringtons for making my dad's final farewell so beautiful."
— julie wardil
"Angie came to the house to make arrangements which really helped my Dad. At no point was there any attempt to oversell or add unnecessary expense. On the day, the dignity and compassion shown by all the staff was exceptional. Thank you for making a difficult time a little bit easier."
— Sandra Lamb (about Angie)
"As well as going through all the formalities with care and compassion, Beth took the time to understand who we are and what we needed for our mum. We wanted a Celebration of life to really reflect the bright, vivacious and unconventional woman that she was, and Beth helped us realise that."
— angelique stephenson (about Beth)
"Claire with her calm manner, explaining everything and giving us the time to take everything in — she was the rock we needed. No question was too silly, like 'can my mum wear her pyjamas to be cremated in?' The answer was yes."
— Beverley Pearson (about Claire)
"Julie is an absolute earth angel made for this job. Julie went above and beyond — her dedication, care, respect and compassion was just outstanding. Losing our beautiful mum crushed myself and my brothers. Julie helped us and made everything run smoothly. We are truly blessed to have had Julie alongside us as we laid our amazing mother to rest. The lady is worth her weight in gold."

My Mum passed away with a massive heart attack in the early hours at her care home.We asked for Barringtons to look after her. Josh came for her and from then on we knew mum was going to be looked after. Claire in the formby office was amazing no questions are to silly like can my mum wear her pyjamas to be cremated in. The answer was yes 💛 I was nervous i would be upset organising mums funeral. But Claire with her calm manner and explaining everything and giving us the time to take everything in. She was the rock we needed. The order of service booklets where beautiful.The funeral at Southport went smoothly and we gave mum a lovely send off Thanks to Barringtons The respect for mum and all of us was a great comfort Thank you for everything

We have used Barringtons on a number of occasions when family members have passed and this is due to the care, compassion,empathy and real understanding of listening to how we wanted to celebrate the last journey of our loved ones. My father recently passed away and I know that Barringtons really did make everything so much less daunting my the team from start to finish were all amazing and I really do think they should be recognised for the outstanding work they have done throughout the whole process of of dads funeral. I will be forever grateful to Barringtons for making my dads final farewell so beautiful

An absolute pleasure to deal with David and his team through such an awful time. Barrington's made the whole process so easy to navigate and it was faultless from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for exceptional service and those extra little touches that make you smile at an otherwise upsetting time. Thank you Barrington's!

A huge thank you for firstly looking after our Dad with dignity and respect, listening to our wishes, for the care and professionalism you and your team provided during Dad’s funeral, Beth, Paul, Dave and Josh thank you so much. From the very beginning, you were very comforting during such a difficult time for our family. We felt supported at every step, and your compassion truly shone through in everything you did. Thank you for helping us honor dad’s life in such a dignified way. Your efforts meant the world to us. Lots of love from Rita, Kerry and Colin xxx💙
