About Knox & Son Funeral Directors
Knox & Son Funeral Directors have been established in Warrington for over 100 years, and we still occupy the same premises on Orford Road, that we started out in all those years ago.
Through the generations we have learnt to adapt our services to suit the families of today whilst still retaining our traditional values and beliefs. Providing the highest service to each and every family we have the honour of serving, we pride ourselves on attention to every detail.
If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, please come and see us in our funeral home, 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 us.
