Types of Funeral Services We Provide Across the Wirral
At Owens Funeral Services, we understand that every life is unique and every family’s needs are different. We are here to gently guide you through the choices available, helping you create a meaningful and respectful farewell in Wallasey, Birkenhead, West Kirby, Bebington, Bromborough, New Brighton and the wider Wirral area.
Our compassionate team is here to walk with you at every step - from choosing the type of service to arranging all the practical details. We offer a range of options to suit personal wishes, cultural traditions and budget considerations, always delivered with dignity, care and respect.
Traditional Funeral Service
A traditional funeral provides a familiar and comforting way to honour a loved one’s life. This service usually includes a gathering with family and friends, readings, music and a formal farewell. It can end in either burial or cremation depending on your wishes.
Families who choose this option often value the sense of ritual, reflection and shared remembrance it offers.
Cremation Funeral
Cremation is a deeply personal choice and one of the most commonly chosen options in the UK. You can choose to hold a full service at a crematorium with family present — with or without religious elements — or organise a more intimate gathering afterwards to celebrate a life well lived.
We will support you with respectful arrangements at local crematoria across the Wirral.
Burial Funeral
A burial funeral allows family and friends to say goodbye in a traditional setting, offering a physical place of rest and remembrance. Whether you choose a cemetery, churchyard or natural burial site, we guide you compassionately through every choice.
Eco and Natural Funerals
For those who lived with environmental values close to their heart, we offer green and natural funeral options, reflecting a gentle return to nature. These can include biodegradable coffins, minimal impact services and woodland burial arrangements where available.
Direct Cremation & Simple Farewells
If you’re seeking a simpler, more affordable option, a direct cremation offers a dignified way to care for your loved one without a formal service beforehand. You may choose to hold a memorial or celebration of life at a separate time that suits you and your family.
Personalised & Alternative Services
Every life has a story — and sometimes families want something truly personal. Whether it’s a celebration of life, a religious ceremony, a humanist service, or a unique tribute reflecting your loved one’s passions, we are here to help you shape a service that feels right.
