Barringtons is a family business owned by David and Claire Barrington. We support the families we work with to arrange a funeral service that is a true reflection of the person who has died. We will spend time with you to establish what you would like and how we can make it happen. We don't like to say no to requests and will try and be creative to incorporate any special requests.
"Her compassionate approach and attention to detail truly eased our grieving hearts. Communication with Debbie was prompt and consistent, which made the whole process more manageable. We are grateful for her exceptional service during this difficult time."
— Chew W. C (about Debbie)
"I went around 8 different funeral directors trying to decide who to go with and we ended up coming back to Barrington's for no other reason than Debbie. Debbie herself went above and beyond from start to finish. If we could give more than 5 stars then we would."
— Amber Reid (about Debbie)
"We were able to visit mum and have a chat over a cuppa with Debbie who was also a great listener in our hour of need. I'm sure most who have dealt with Debbie will say the same thing, she is a superstar and thanks for helping us grieve and being there."
— Patrick Neary (about Debbie)
"So much love and personal family input went into every detail of my little Brothers Funeral and Debbie and her team matched this perfectly with the level of respect and warmth that they showed throughout. We just knew that we were being looked after by a pure hearted lady…Debbie Fraser and her team: Josh Rice, Dave Morgan, Mike Kelly and Dave, the driver of the LFC Hearse… Yes, we sent my Brother off in True Style YNWA xxx"
— Leanne Campbell (about Debbie Fraser)
"As an ex funeral director myself of 10 years in Australia, Debbie was the only funeral director who told me everything I needed to know without me asking one question. There was no upselling, she listened to what we required and what my dad required, and delivered a great service with kindness and compassion and seriously went that extra mile. Thank you Debbie for everything, you are a lovely person for the position you hold."
— Andrea MCCARNEY (about Debbie)
"Walking into Barringtons with my brother to plan the funeral of our younger brother and my brothers best friend was one of the hardest things to do. Little did I know I would have to then plan the funeral of this brother who passed 6 days later. David and Debbie have been amazing, from the moment I walked in they have been supportive, kind, caring and understanding. Every detail was meticulous with a real understanding of what my two brothers were to each other and us. They have gone above and beyond and 5 stars doesn't seem enough for what they have done."
— Helen Bilbao (about Debbie)

So much love and personal family input went into every detail of my little Brothers Funeral and Debbie and her team (at the Netherton branch) matched this perfectly with the level of respect and warmth that they showed throughout. We cannot thank them enough for taking good care of our ‘Little Ken’ and for the reassurance they gave us all. They listened, supported, truly cared about our feelings and all in the most Professional yet kind hearted manner. We highly recommend them and speak very highly of them. Simply the best. We just knew that we were being looked after by a pure hearted lady…Debbie Fraser and her team: Josh Rice, Dave Morgan, Mike Kelly and Dave, the driver of the LFC Hearse… Yes, we sent my Brother off in True Style YNWA xxx

Debbie helped us with every aspect of Mums funeral and it was perfect. Nothing was too small or too big; Debbie made sure it was done for us. I would absolutely recommend Debbie and Barringtons to anyone. Just amazing.

This was the first funeral we had to organise and we had no idea what we were doing. I went around 8 different funeral directors trying to decide who to go with and we ended up coming back to Barrington’s for no other reason than Debbie, who runs the Netherton branch. We instantly got a good vibe from her and we were not disappointed with our decision. As a whole the company was spot on, they were perfect with every aspect of the arrangements that needed to be made. But Debbie herself went above and beyond from start to finish, she ensured we got the best prices, had the dates changed for the whole funeral for us when we had to change it and is without a doubt the friendliest person we’ve ever met. We cannot thank her enough and, of course, the company she represents. If we could give more than 5* then we would.

From the moment we contacted Barrington branch in Netherton and spoke to Debbie we knew we had made right choice. From day 1 she showed immense compassion, and guided us through whole process. Coffin was amazing and no request to add to it was any trouble. Debbie always kept us updated with the process. We were able to visit mum and have a chat over a cuppa with Debbie who was also great listener in our hour of need. The funeral itself was very professional and drivers/Debbie immaculately dressed. I'm sure most who have dealt with Debbie will say same thing, she is a superstar and thanks for helping us grieve and being there.
