What people say
★★★★★ From the start to finish Alex was outstanding. His service, compassion and will to achieve everything you possibly want is above and beyond. I couldn't recommend him anymore. He jumped through hoops for me and my mums funeral and everything was absolutely perfect, even down to little extra things he done to make sure we was comfortable and happy throughout. He sure knows how to do a good farewell. He dressed the part and looked very smart and lead the service with pride. I'm so thankful for everyone at Frank Dooleys.
His professionalism is absolutely amazing and he's always willing to answer

★★★★★ No room for improvement all the team were absolutely amazing. From start to end so much compassionate care and consideration. Made a hard time a little easier we could thank Alex, Debbie and the team enough. Thank you it is very much appreciated. Nothing was ever too much trouble for them.
★★★★★ Frank Dooley , Widnes have overseen both of my parents funerals and more recently my husband's funeral. I cannot praise them highly enough for their empathy and kindness at this heartbreaking time. I felt completely at ease leaving him in their hands. Their compassionate assistance at guiding you through the whole process when you are mentally in pieces cannot in my opinion be bettered.
