  We used Harold lilleker when my son died it was a few year's ago drew Myles and mark did such a beautiful job nothing was too much trouble . But i must say the only thing that let's this wonderful company down is the place where you see your loved ones for the last time. So many people have said they found it heartbreaking because it did not look like a funeral home. Please try sort this out because your the best in the business and this is definitely letting you down many thanks

  Drew and his team are exceptionally professional. At a deeply upsetting time nothing is too much trouble and they go above and beyond to make the occasion a special time to remember. Special thanks to Rebecca at the Whittington office, she was always there when we needed her and helped out immensely. Thanks all.

  Losing our mum suddenly left us all in shock,over previous years family had used the co op recently we saw alot about Harold lilleker,they looked excellent so we chose them to look after mum,I always thought funeral directors were there to take care of everything but after the initial meeting with them it really did seem like we were the ones having to do the chasing.They told us they would collect mum on the Friday and ring us by Tuesday so that we could visit mum in the chapel of rest,we ended up ringing them on the Thursday to see if mum was actually with them ,when we eventually got a time arranged our family arrived and were lead around the side of the house to what I can only describe as an outhouse, l was shocked to have the door opened and there was mum surrounded by a few chairs. We didn't want to all go in together so those waiting stood outside the door watching the owner polish the cars ,we found this totally disrespectful, we'd asked that they made sure mums hair was like her picture but her hair was exactly how I left her at the hospital,swept back from stroking her head I ended up getting water and curling her fringe ,mum had a spot of blood on her chin this was still there. They had offered an obituary on their website,we filled in the paper and sent the picture to find out 2 days before the funeral they had lost it and asked a few questions over the phone,not at all like the obituary we wrote. The day of the funeral,they were late so late the man walking Infront of the hearse walked around 20 steps and jumped back in the car. After mums cremation I arranged to collect her ashes a few days later, when I arrived at the time they gave me I rang the bell a couple of times to see a man walking over to me in the yard and hand over mums ashes,I felt like I'd been to buy something from an ad. Maybe I was expecting too much ,maybe if I'd spent alot of money things would have been different maybe they were having an off day.

  My family and I would like to thank Harold Lilleker and Sons for arranging the funeral for my wife. From the first phone call to them all the way to her funeral, they were very respectful and compassionate to my wife and all the family. I would like to thank Drew and his team also Rebecca for arranging the details of the funeral also helping with the slideshow and music at the crematorium. Also the small things that made the service personal to my wife, the little touches such as my wife's name with an angel (her maiden was Angell) being carved into the coffin. We didn't want a conventional service and Nigel Turner was suggested to take the Celebration of Life service, he was excellent.

  I wish I had heard of "Harold Liliker" funeral Services when my mum passed a few years ago. Drew was very, very courteous, warm, pleasant and sympathetic in dealing with our family on the passing of my son Joseph. He put my mind at ease and his team was excellent in everything they did to help us. Everything was handled with the greatest of respect and dignity and I couldn't have wished for better. Greatful thanks to Drew, "Harold Liliker" independent Funeral Services for making such a very sad and traumatic occasion bearable. I highly recommend your Services and what you did for my son. God richest Blessings. ❤❤❤

  When my dad passed away Harold Lilleker & Sons were appointed to carry out his funeral. Being from out of the area I’d never heard of them and had my reservations. Jordan made contact and very quickly put my mind at rest. He took care of absolutely everything leaving me to grieve. Harold Lilleker kept it traditional but added subtle personal touches to make it personal to my dad, like the walking cane was my dads favourite football team, the order of service cards were bespoke to my dad (not the regular style although these were available if I wanted them), the coffin had a carving of the Crooked Spire in it. All these subtle additions made my dads funeral MY DADS. I can’t thank Harold Lilleker & Sons enough for how they treated my dad (and us) during these trying times and feel the only way I can pay tribute to them is by giving an honest thankful review. Jordan, A special Thank You for all your help and support.

  I can't recommend Drew and his team highly enough. From the first phone call in the early hours when my father in law passed to his funeral yesterday Drew and his team were so compassionate caring and understanding. Nothing was to much trouble and the care and dignity they should my father in law was second to none. They made his passion for Liverpool FC shine through with so many personal and unexpected touches from everyone wearing red ties to the Liverpool FC carving on the coffin. Even Drew's walking stick had been wrapped with Liverpool logo's. Harold Lillikers made a very sad and upsetting time so much more bearable. Thankyou Drew and all of your team

  Peter (Undertakers) is one of the most caring person that I have ever had the pleasure to met, he should be called " St Peter"... he totally understands and gets how its important to us who have been left behind on how we are feeling...he knows how important it is to do our love ones justice to be able to get our funeral plans just how we want them at a difficult time... I would also would like to personally thank the funeral bearers for their part in today service you all helped me more than you will ever know for this I will be forever grateful to you all...I totally agree and highly recommended Harold Lilleker & Sons Ltd - Independent Family Funeral Directors to all my families and friends it's not about the money with this company it's about compassion, honour, respect and dignity from the minute you phone them or walk through their door... Thank you Rebecca for all you help & support you gave me yesterday you made a difficult time so much easier for me to deal with... I hope that your new premises goes strength to strength... I would also would like personally thank Rev Joe Morris at St Bartholomew's Church Old Whittington and everyone who helped me to get through today... "Joe you are one in a million" you have always got time for everyone that you meet your an Angel in disguise. Big thank you for everything you did for me today..your husband is a credit to you and your church he's such a caring and compassionate person xxx
