★★★★★ Peter and family would like to thank everyone at houghtons funeral directors Runcorn for the respect and dignity they showed to our loved one who sadly passed. They went above and beyond to make this tough time more beareable for the whole family and nothing was too much trouble for them to help us in anyway they could in the lead up to the service. Then on the day the celebrant they arranged gave a beautiful dedication. We would not hesitate to recommend haughtons to anyone who is going though the loss of a loved one.
★★★★★ Could not fault these amazing people, when we lost our pa . Very understanding and went through everything with us. Amazing and we can't thank them enough. Bless you all. Just amazing.
★★★★☆ Really helped my elderly friend who was given exactly what she wanted for her husband and at a price that beat the cremation only on TV and even local homes based in and around Runcorn Old Town. They went beyond for her and delivered her husband's ashes to her doorstep even taking them indoors and making sure she had someone to contact etc.
