Owens Funeral Services, a family-run independent funeral service in Liscard, recently celebrated their 6th birthday and won the title of Best Value Funeral Service in Wirral. The family-run independent based in Liscard has also been given another Certificate of Excellence from Three Best Rated for the 4th year running.
Owens, dedicated to providing exceptional service with love and compassion, has garnered over 231 5-star reviews on the Funeral Guide platform. The funeral directors’ ratings website has ranked Owens top, and their commitment to keeping costs down for families has also earned them top value rankings.
The best value in Wirral, Owens offers cremations for as little as £695, with the cremation fee at Anfield costing an additional £394 and £475 for Landican cremations, meaning cremations with Owens can cost as little as £1089 in total. With the cost of living putting people under more pressure, Owens is committed to keeping costs down despite their own costs increasing.
The family is keen to keep funeral care independent, personal, and local, as opposed to people going to big national online companies. Some of these companies are not even registered funeral directors, but they provide a transfer service to many locations throughout the country. Owens guarantees a personal and professional local service, ensuring that the loved one will remain in their care from the first point of contact until the day of cremation.
Mother and owner Lorraine said:
“We pride ourselves in treating people like our own family and delivering the very best service with the utmost compassion for people in their darkest time. We also understand that it’s been difficult for people out there, so we’re committed to making cremations and funerals as affordable as possible.”
Daughter Alex added:
“It’s great to be recognised as the best value funeral directors in Wirral as well as the best rated, also receiving another Certificate Of Excellence by Three Best Rated. What truly means the world to us, however, is the lovely words, cards and flowers we receive from families . To know that we’ve helped them during their time of need is very reassuring.”
The family has developed a great reputation for going way above and beyond for bereaved families while keeping costs to a minimum. One of the things they offer is a ‘memory tree’ at their Liscard premises, with a personal bauble dedicated to each loved one they look after, and they also provide families with forget-me-not seeds.
Additionally, they offer a bespoke jewellery service in which Alex personally handcrafts ashes into beautiful, personalised pieces. Additionally, they self-fund a memorial service every December for all the families who have lost loved ones. The annual memorial service is held at St. Alban’s church in Wallasey, and each family member is given a bauble to place on their Christmas tree at home after the service.
One recent customer said:
“Thoroughly recommend Owens. From start to finish attention to detail, care and availability excellent. All staff are brilliant, especially Alex and Lorraine who were so lovely and thoughtful at such a difficult time. Costs were very competitive so you don’t need to look elsewhere. My dad’s funeral was perfect and my mother couldn’t be more pleased with the service. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
Another said:
“We met Alex at Owens after calling other companies. No one matched her kindness, professionalism and sensitivity. Shocked frankly by others’ attitudes, the difference between them and Owens is immeasurable. We would now trust no one else for any circumstances. Nothing was too much trouble and she and Owens made what was one of the hardest times as easy as possible.”
