Our Facilities

Our funeral home on George Street, in the heart of St Helens, has been designed and developed from the ground up, bringing together welcoming spaces for families and friends with modern, purpose-built facilities for the professional care of those entrusted to us. 

​

Considerable thought has gone into every aspect of the building, from the atmosphere experienced by visitors to the specialist facilities operating discreetly behind the scenes. Our aim has been to create a funeral home that combines traditional standards of personal service with modern thinking, equipment and practices.

Purposefully designed. Beautifully presented. Equipped for the highest standards of care.

A Warm Welcome

Our open-plan reception area offers a comfortable, welcoming environment, whether you're calling in for an informal conversation, a comfortable seat and, of course, the kettle is never far from being switched on.

Visiting Us

Our central St Helens location makes us accesible to people visiting the town centre. However, ongoing developments and parking arrangements can sometimes make travelling to us by car less straightforward. If you're planning a visit, particularly for an appointment, please feel welcome to contact us beforehand. We'll gladly offer guidance on the most convenient arrangements available at the time.

A Private Space for Arrangements

Our dedicated arrangement room provides a comfortable, private setting in which to discuss funeral wishes and arrangements. Whether you're considering the possibilities, making decisions following a bereavement or simply looking for guidance, the room offers space to talk openly, ask questions and consider your choices without feeling hurried.

Our Chapels of Rest

We have two beautifully appointed, modern chapels of rest, each with its own air-conditioning, providing peaceful and private surroundings for those wishing to spend time with their loved one. We understand that visiting a chapel of rest is a very personal decision. Some people find comfort in spending time with their loved one, while others prefer to remember them as they were. We respect both choices. Visits are arranged by appointment, allowing us to prepare the chapel appropriately and ensure privacy and uninterrupted time together. Between visits, the person who has died rests within our dedicated temperature-controlled facilities, where their care and dignity remain our priority.

Professional Care Behind the Scenes

Beyond the areas ordinarily seen by visitors are the specialist facilities that form an essential part of our funeral home. Our spacious, secure, temperature-controlled care facility sits alongside a modern, purpose-designed mortuary, equipped to support the professional preparation and care of deceased people. These facilities have been developed with careful consideration of modern professional standards and the direction of future regulation within the funeral profession. Although much of this work takes place away from public view, we believe the quality of these facilities is every bit as important as the presentation of the rooms that familiies and friends visit. The standards of care we provide should always be of the highest standard.

Our Vehicles

Our investment in quality extends beyond the funeral home itself. We have a dedicated fleet of funeral vehicles, with the pride of our collection being our brand new, top-of-the-range Mercedes-Benz Hearse and matching Limousine. Combining elegant presentation with modern comfort and engineering, these vehicles reflect our commitment, to providing funeral transport of an exceptionally high standard. Our fleet also includes a dedicated care and response vehicle, used for the dignified conveyance of deceased people from their place of death into our care. All our vehicles are housed within secure garaging facilities away from the town centre, where they can be maintained and prepared for their duties.
