★★★★★
Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. Highly recommended. From start to finish David at William Houghton Funeral Directors provided an outstanding and professional service, was clear and transparent about everything, answered all our questions and took care of all our needs. They were able to take care of everything we requested and guided us through it all, including the order of service and live-streaming both ceremonies. On the day, both the church service and the cremation were conducted with the utmost dignity and respect, and everything ran so smoothly. We are incredibly gratefu
★★★★★
Sadly my family has had two funerals to organise in a little over a year. We used Houghtons (Longridge branch) for both and we couldn't fault the service. Approachable, understanding, flexible and utterly professional, both on the day and in the preparations.
★★★★★
William Houghtons have been kind, respectful, and really professional on all levels. Nick has made this sad process alot easier. We would recommend WHFD to take care of all your funeral needs and send off. We couldnt of asked for a smoother send off for our family member. Nothing was too much for their team. Alison the celebrant was calm, empathetic and helpful. Thankyou to everyone involved. Finally Samantha did a beautiful job of our flowers on behalf of WHFD. Emma

We were delighted with the care and respect we received from David and all the team at the Fulwood branch. Their help and attention to detail helped at what is such a difficult time - would definitely recommend them.

William Houghton's made our Anna's day very special. Tom who looked after us was very compassionate and went above and beyond to help us, we're really grateful for his help.
