Knox & Son Funeral Directors have been proudly serving the Warrington community for over 100 years, operating from the same premises on Orford Road that the business originally started in. Founded by Joseph Caldwell Knox as a coachbuilder and carriage master, the business has passed through several generations of dedicated funeral directors, building a reputation for professionalism, care, and traditional values. In 1960 the business was sold to the family of Liz Greenwood, retaining its historic name and highly professional reputation, and in 2025 it joined Funeral Partners Limited, a group of over 280 funeral homes across the country.
The team at Knox & Son are committed to creating tailored funerals that reflect the unique life of each loved one, providing personal attention to every detail. They offer a comprehensive range of services including cremations, burials, green and woodland funerals, unattended cremations, and repatriation, as well as products such as memorial masonry, coffin ranges, and floral tributes.
Available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year by telephone, the team prides itself on being there whenever families need them, whether by visiting the funeral home, arranging a home visit, or simply calling for guidance and support during a difficult time.
"Having used two different funeral directors after losing both my Father and mother-in-law recently, I can honestly say Knox were by far the best. There were too many nice touches to list, but they did a magnificent job."
— Martin Thorley
"Alan was kind, caring, showed empathy throughout the meeting and provided the details we needed without overloading us with information at a really difficult time. Scott directed on the day and he was amazing — all very kind and understanding of our needs on such a sad day."
— Joanne Bradley (about Alan Hodgkiss)
"I was in sheer devastation, weepy and lost. I received a phone call from Knox who were so warm and caring they instantly put me at ease. Jo was empathetic, kind and so friendly — nothing was too much trouble."
— Cath Lewis (about Jo)
"Special thanks go to Kirsty for her empathy, care and support. They all played a part in making a very difficult, sad time that little bit easier. We never felt hurried, and we felt that Dad was in good hands and that he was treated with dignity and care."
— Tracy Taylor (about Kirsty)
"They made us feel like we were the only family that they were supporting. We would not have got through this whole experience without them. The funeral was in fact perfect. Our Stephen would have loved it ❤️"
— Deborah Dolley
"As we passed Knox, Jo was stood there to pay her respects — a truly beautiful touch. My Mum was looked after so well here and I honestly can't thank them all enough. They made an unbearable situation somehow manageable and stress free. Me and my family will be forever grateful."
— Cath Lewis (about Jo)
