One of the most important differences families notice with Southport Funeral Care is that you deal with a qualified and experienced Funeral Director from day one.
When you contact us, you won’t be speaking to a call centre, an administrator, or someone relaying messages. Instead, you will speak directly with a Funeral Director who will guide you through each step of the process and personally handle all of the arrangements on your behalf.
Southport Funeral Care is a multi-award winning, independent funeral directors run by directors Mr E Mawdsley and Mrs K Mawdsley.
As a local family business, we have proudly supported families throughout:
Southport • Ainsdale • Formby • Hightown • Ince Blundell • Churchtown • Banks • Hesketh Bank • Rufford • Ormskirk and surrounding areas.
The quality of our work is defined by consistency, integrity, and respect for every family we serve.
We understand that trust is essential during difficult moments, which is why every interaction is handled with professionalism, discretion, and genuine care. Our approach is guided by clear principles rather than fixed routines.
Every family is treated with empathy, patience, and genuine respect during every interaction.
Clear, calm support through all decisions, paperwork, and arrangements, without pressure or confusion.
Peaceful, well-maintained spaces designed to offer comfort, privacy, and a sense of calm.
Every farewell is tailored to reflect the individual life, values, and wishes of each family.

A fully arranged service that allows family and friends to come together to celebrate and remember a life.
Services tailored to reflect the life, personality and wishes of the person being remembered.

We are always here for you. Whether you need immediate help after the death of a loved one or would like to talk to someone about planning a funeral ahead of time
Your loved one remains in our care throughout. For many families, this brings great comfort — knowing the person they love stays with a team they know and trust from beginning to end.
They are looked after within our own facilities, here in Southport. We believe personal care should remain local, offering reassurance, continuity, and the highest standards of dignity and respect.
We personally take your loved one to the crematorium in our own hearse. They are never treated as a process, but always as an individual — with compassion, respect, and the care every life deserves.
At Southport Funeral Care, we believe families should have the time and space they need to remember their loved one.
Within our premises we have our own Eden Chapel, allowing families to spend quiet moments together in a peaceful and private setting.
Unlike services at a crematorium or church where time slots are restricted, our chapel provides flexibility and comfort for families who may want something more personal.
