Mears and Jackson Funeral Directors, located at West Cemetery Lodge within Warrington Cemetery on Manchester Road, is part of the wider Mears Family Funerals group — a family-run organisation with over 100 years of experience caring for the bereaved across four generations. The branch is dedicated to honouring the lives of loved ones with kindness, dignity, and the utmost respect, offering personalised support through every step of the funeral arrangement process.
As part of the Mears Family Funerals group, the Warrington branch upholds the same core principles that define the wider organisation: personal service, professional staff, and exceptional value. Families are guided by experienced local staff who can assist with a full range of services including bespoke funerals, basic funerals, direct cremations, memorials, repatriation, and floral arrangements.
The group is committed to transparent and open pricing, fully compliant with the CMA Funeral Market Investigation Order 2021, with standardised price lists clearly displayed. Disbursements are charged at cost with no mark-up, ensuring families receive honest, compassionate support at a fair price during what can be one of the most difficult times of their lives.
"I just wanted to say how grateful I am to Helen and Lindsey at Warrington for all their help and the compassionate way they dealt with my mum's funeral. They couldn't have done any more at what was a really difficult time."
— Stephen Seddon (about Helen, Lindsey)
"They are so caring and compassionate. Helped us all the way through this very sad time. Nothing was too much for them. They understand your needs with a personal touch to their service and with such respect. We thank you all from the bottom of our hearts."
— Carron Walker
"If your searching for a company that goes far above and beyond, amazing staff from the start of a traumatic situation right through to the end and more. Outstanding compassionate staff that greet you with calmness and great understanding unique to you. Then this is a company you can truly trust and feel at ease."
— Gail Lawton (about Lindsay, Phil, Chris)
"Lindsey went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly and was always available to talk things through. Phil's experience and dedication shone through on the day of the funeral and we couldn't have asked for a better send off for mum."
— Becky Ashwood (about Lindsey, Phil)
"Having received a shocking service from Kenneth Dewey in Altrincham (in which we cancelled the funeral arrangements) we approached Mears & Jackson, who were very respectful and caring. Many thanks yet again to all your staff, especially to Lyndsay who went over and above to help with the arrangements. THANK YOU IS NOT ENOUGH."
— Mo C (about Lyndsay)
"With the limits on mourners Lindsay arranged for the cortege to stop outside Mums flat complex on the way to the crematorium, so her friends could pay their respect, what we didn't expect was Phil to walk in front of the hearse for 500 meters stop in front of the flat. So moving. So respectful."
— Neil Phelps (about Lindsay, Phil)
