What people say

★★★★★
I highly recommend David and the team at William Houghtons, garstang road. My dads sudden passing was a heartbreaking time for us all but David made this process somewhat easier. Nothing was to much trouble, he went above and beyond. David talked us through everything, showing compassion and empathy. The respect he gave to my dad and my family is something i cannot put into words and something i will always remember. The funeral went smoothly, it felt like Angela Gill (celebrant) truly knew my dad. From the bottom of our hearts, Thank You to David and the team involved with my dads funeral

I contacted William Houghton after the passing of my Mum. From the very beginning the service was brilliant. We were greeted by Liam who dealt with us very proffessionally. We were given updates regularly. The whole team were brilliant. Thank you for being there and taking care of my Mum.

Very sadly a second elderly relative has passed away (see earlier review) and without hesitation we asked William Houghton’s’ to make the arrangements. David at the Fulwood branch was, as previously, extremely professional and dealt with all our requests in a sensitive and efficient manner; dealing with the Church and Crematorium, arranging the live streaming, preparing the Order of Service and everything else involved. On the day everything went smoothly, with the whole team supporting us in a caring and compassionate manner to ensure a good send-off for my Father in Law. Very much appreci

We contacted William Houghton’s after a very distressing experience with another funeral director, and the difference was remarkable. From the very first call, the team were kind, compassionate, and professional. In particular, Liam showed exceptional care and understanding, guiding us through every step with patience and dignity. We are so grateful and would highly recommend their services.

William Houghton funeral directors was recommended after my ex-husband passed away. As l had never organised a funeral before l had no idea where to start, along came David from the Fulwood office. He explained everything to me in a compassionate, professional, friendly and helpful way. He gave expert advice on the type of coffin, flowers, music, the service etc.. No problem was too much for him. The price he quoted was the price l paid, no hidden extra charges. On the day of the funeral everything ran smoothly and to perfection. The flowers were beautiful and the service thoughtful. Angel
