    About Frank Dooley & Son Funeral Directors

    Frank Dooley & Son Funeral Directors was founded in 1910. Over a century of community involvement and eminent professionalism enables us to provide the very best help, advice and guidance, before and after bereavement. 

    Our family endeavours to be as helpful and thoughtful as possible. At Frank Dooley & Son Funeral Directors we understand the pain of loss and treat all those who call upon us as our wider, extended family. We will provide comfort and reassurance at this difficult time. 

    We have conveniently located funeral homes in St. Helens, Nutgrove, Haydock and Widnes and are proud to serve the people in those communities of many different cultures and faiths, as well as those with no religious beliefs. Our Nutgrove and Haydock funeral homes have their own service venues. 

    The team will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. 

    Here at Frank Dooley & Son Funeral Directors we also offer a prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
