Gramps passed away in 8th January this year, As a family the care and compassion from Gill, Pete and Emily was exactly what we needed at that time. We were at ease knowing Gramps was in the best care. The team inspired me so much that after the funeral I left my career as a pharmacy manager and I now work as an arranger for another dignity branch in Maghull. Gramps had a wonderful celebration of life thanks to Gornalls x
Thanks to you all we will be forever grateful as a family, with love from the McGraths x

My son Aidan died on 7th August 2026. He was only 43 years old. He had a partner and two children. From the moment he died I and my two daughters contacted Pete, the Funeral Director for his assistance and organising my son's funeral. We decided to have the Service at Greenacres, a beautiful forrest location near Rainford. Organising this ran smoothly and we were kept informed of everything we needed to do from Pete. We visited
Greenacres and discussed options for a scattering of ashes. The day of the funeral came and this was a beautiful moment for everyone at Greenacres. Everything was perfect and my sincere thanks to Pete and his Team for all the help he gave to me and my family. Gornell's Funerals is to be highly recommended.
