Thanks to Rachel and Deb and all at Hunters in Ormskirk for their professionalism and care. It was very reassuring to have everything run so calmly and smoothly at a difficult time. With special thanks to celebrant Debbie Wells whose insight and intelligence helped make a special day.

Rated 5/5

Our experience with Hunters Funeral Directors was exceptionally positive in every respect. They arranged a meaningful funeral for us, respecting our wishes in every aspect. The staff were professional and compassionate and their attention to detail means so much at times like this, we were never rushed, there was lots of understanding. I recommend them wholeheartedly and thank them for all their care.

Rated 5/5

Hunters, Ormskirk, come highly recommended by my family for the care and support they have shown us when dealing with the death of my mum. Deb and Rachel showed enormous empathy and concern towards my dad and myself. Andrew, who lead the funeral on the day was professional and attentive. Our celebrant, Dave, has received many compliments for the delivery of the service at West Lancashire crematorium. An upsetting but uplifting day. Thank you x
