3 Best Funeral Directors in Blackpool, UK

This is the third time I have used Hollowell and Sons Funeral Directors and as was the case previously the service has been second to none. This time we had Tim-Parker-Simms and from meeting Tim at the Lytham Road office to the day of the funeral nothing has been too much trouble and he has been helpful in every way. Tim helped with the music, ordered the flowers and put the Obituary in the paper for us. The celebrant Martin Bryant was fabulous and made a lovely service with the very limited information we knew about this relative who has worked under the National Secrets Act. We received positive comments about the service from attendees about the funeral, the flowers and I can honestly say I wouldn’t use any other Funeral Director in Blackpool. Sadly my Mothers funeral was out of town and conducted by the Co-op which was far more expensive, very impersonal and not in the same league of the three funerals Hollowells have conducted for family members and the services of friends I have attended.

From the second we picked up the phone to Hollowell & Sons the night my father passed away, we cannot fault one of them in the slightest. Kind, caring and an all round warmth about their behaviour as we had to tread softly as an entire family. Our funeral director Anthony, a man we could not have asked more from! He felt apart of the family as soon as he shook our hands the following day. To sum up with using too many more words. If you lose a loved one, there is no better caring set of people about D Hollowell & Sons to guide and support your family through a hard time.

I would also like to thank you so much for the excellent service we received from you and your staff on the day. Everything was carried out to perfection, and Caterina and I are most grateful to you for your kindness and thoroughness throughout.

I felt that Layton Funeral Directors looked after me and were very reassuring, which is what's needed in times of enormous stress and grief experienced when a close relative passes (in this case my mum). Susan is very approachable and they are prepared to be flexible and tailor a funeral accordingly if you have any issues or special requirements. I have to say that I was very moved when, after leaving the church, the lead funeral director 'paged' the hearse for fifty yards and before getting back in, gave a very long deep bow to the hearse, and that moment will stay with me forever as it showed absolute respect and dignity for my mum - very impressed.

I would like to thank all the staff, but especially Andrew & David for the superb service in dealing with my Brother's funeral. Everything was carried out out in a personal, but professional way. Nothing was too much trouble, and all matters were dealt with, in a caring & sensitive way.

I'm fully satisfied with the Susan who works here for all her help regarding sorting out my mum's funeral. I couldn't be more grateful and happy of the whole funeral arrangements 5 star's.
