Funeral directors in Liverpool

14 funeral directors with 32 branches in Liverpool City Council’s area, with published prices where they exist. Free listing, nobody pays to appear.

Compiled 16 August 2026. Last updated 16 August 2026.

Direct cremation in Liverpool: from £1,245

A direct cremation is a cremation with no service and no mourners present. The funeral director collects the person who has died, arranges the cremation at a time set by the crematorium, and returns the ashes to you. You can hold a memorial separately, whenever and wherever you want.

The crematorium charges its own fee on top of the funeral director’s charges, £924 locally. Some firms include it in the price below and some add it, so check which applies before you compare two figures.

Liverpool Community Funeral Service

Liverpool City Council has partnered with four funeral directors to offer a low-cost 'community funeral' costing up to £1,000. It covers collection of the deceased, an oak-style casket with an engraved nameplate, chapel-of-rest care, and arranging and supervising the funeral. The £1,000 is the all-in service cost, with no separate cremation or burial fee.

Fixed price, cremation

£1,000

Ask the council or any of the four named partners to confirm the scheme is still running before you rely on it.

How we built this list

Every price here comes from the firm’s own published price list or the council’s own published fees, with a link to the source and the date it was last verified. Where a firm publishes no price, we say so instead of estimating. No listing is paid for and none can be bought. Spotted something wrong?
