Southport Funeral Care

01/05/2026

I recently entrusted Southport Funeral Care with my husband Stephens direct cremation after his unexpected death and wanted to express my heartfelt gratitude for the care and sensitivity shown throughout the entire process.

From first contact, the team treated me with kindness, respect, and genuine compassion. Everything was handled with quiet professionalism and dignity, which brought a great deal of comfort when I needed it most. The arrangements were explained clearly, no pressure—just thoughtful guidance and understanding especially for certain unusual requests from me which were fully accommodated.

The service was simple, the level of care was anything but.

Len and Dave dressed in full funeral livery, Len walked in front of the highly polished hearse on its approach to the crematorium. My husband's handsome face was displayed on 2 TV screens with his name. Len and Dave stayed with my husband until the entire music I had chosen was played to the end and the curtains had closed parting with a respectful bow to acknowledge his departure.

It meant so much to know that my husband was in safe and respectful hands. The attention to detail and the calm, reassuring manner from Len and Dave made a painful experience easier to bear.

I am truly grateful for the support I received and still receiving whilst arranging my husband's 'celebration of life' party. I collected my husband's ashes the day after which allowed me to bring him home quickly.

I would highly recommend Southport Funeral Care to others needing a caring and dignified service who showed genuine compassion and solicitude.

On leaving the crematorium, another direct cremation was waiting to go in. It arrived in a van with no ceremony.
I know I made the right choice.

Thank you again for everything.

After trawling through several Funeral Directors , I found myself face to face with Dave Jackson at SFC - you only get one chance at a first impression and that was that !!! What a truly amazing business , caring, compassionate, extremely well priced and nothing , and I mean nothing , was too much trouble! From start to finish Dave was there for us if we needed help or advice . He arranged everything including a Piper at the church ! Thank you Dave , you will get many recommendations if you treat everyone as you did us - well done !

There are many ways to say goodbye and not all of them look like a traditional funeral. This afternoon a family gathered in Southport Funeral Care's Eden Chapel for a simple, intimate goodbye before a direct cremation. It was a calm, supportive space - and a reminder that even the smallest ceremonies can hold much meaning.

This is why we do what do..
Here when you need us most.

From the moment I walked through the door of SFC and was greeted by Dave, I instantly knew we picked the best.
A very warm smiley Hello, I replied my mum has just passed away but I don’t know where to start’. Dave said let’s have a chat and get comfy, I’ll pop the kettle on.
Nothing what so ever was too much.
He kept us informed of everything and was super quick with response.
Dave took care of everything - including the bagpiper I so badly wanted for my mum.
On the day of the funeral, they were all so extremely professional and attentive. The coffin was exactly as they said it would be decoration wise.
They did my mum proud and I know she’s smiling down on us proud as punch for giving her such a warm, amazing send of she truly deserved.
I hope to never have to arrange a funeral again but if I had to, this will be my first place to be.
Brilliant from start to finish - thank you from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

As National Funeral Planning Awareness Week begins, SAIF is encouraging people to start the conversation about their funeral wishes.

These discussions can feel difficult, but they often bring reassurance — helping families feel more confident, informed and supported when the time comes. Taking a little time now to share preferences can ease pressure later and ensure that decisions reflect what matters most to you.

Independent funeral directors Southport Funeral Care play a vital role in these conversations. Through local knowledge, personal care and trusted relationships, they help individuals explore choices at their own pace and in a way that feels comfortable.

This week, consider taking a small first step — a conversation over a cup of tea, coffee noting down a few thoughts, or simply letting someone know what feels important.

Every conversation helps families feel more prepared, more supported and more at ease when it matters most.
