When you choose a funeral director and go through all that's involved in arranging a funeral you are allowing us into your lives at an incredibly emotional time. We feel it's only right that you should know a little about us too. We are Robert and Karen Quinn, a brother and sister who are Wirral born and bred - we both love our Peninsula and are so glad we found a place in it's heart where we could start the next chapter of our own journey.
We are by no means new to the profession. We were raised by parents who successfully began and grew their own independent funeral business. They both set a wonderful example instilling in us a strong moral compass to treat people as you wish to be treated; both in business and in life.

Services
When we built our premises we did so with all our clients in mind. We are fortunate to be able to offer private parking outside our door and have a wide electric front door. Our whole building is on one level and is wheelchair friendly. To complete our service we can now offer our own purpose built, wheelchair access vehicle, which integrates seamlessly with our hearse and limousines.
When a friend or family member passes away at home, be it their own or a relative's, telephone the person's GP and inform them of the death. One of the practice doctors will then visit to confirm that the person has died. If the call is made out of practice hours an on call doctor will make this visit (please be advised this can take some time).
You literally pay in advance for your funeral and fix the cost at the current price. The Funeral Directors' service costs are then guaranteed when you die. Costs outside our control, such as cremation fees or someone to lead the service, can be included in the plan. Although these are not fully guaranteed, the growth of the plan will cover these in the majority of cases.
We have surely all seen the plethora of adverts from funeral insurance companies attempting to scare us into submission with figures of 8,000 for a funeral! The cost of a funeral is no small sum, on average 3,400 but as with all things this depends upon the choices made and this sum can go up or down.
We feel it is incredibly important to be transparent about the charges involved in arranging a funeral with us and appreciate that not everyone has the time available or feels comfortable with telephoning or visiting all the funeral companies they want to approach when obtaining prices for their services.

We chose Karen and Robert to organize my mum’s funeral back in May, and I’m so glad we did. Karen ensured every aspect of the funeral was taken care of while giving us the freedom to define a service that was fitting and personal to my mum. Robert worked with the utmost professionalism and dignity on the day. Together they’re a wonderful team and I can’t thank them enough for having helped us at a difficult time.

Organised my Father's funeral at the start of May. Karen and Robert are such lovely, genuine people, and this comes across in everything they do. Very professional and caring, they put their all into making the process as simple and easy as possible. The service was lovely and very fitting. We are so glad we chose them.

Losing your mum is an awful, heartbreaking time. I can honestly say that as a family we don't know what we would have done without the services of Rob and Karen. They are both true professionals with such a lovely warmth and kindness about them. They offer the feeling of a warm reassuring hug during one of the darkest times in your life. Nothing was too much trouble and they showed such kindness and respect to us as a family but most importantly to our lovely mum. We were able to sit with mum in such lovely surroundings looking out onto the garden, so peaceful to say our last goodbyes. Their attention

After the passing of our daughter I found myself in need of a funeral director, not something you think about until you are in need of their services.
A recommendation from a close friend put me in touch with Robert Quinn and his sister Karen. Robert and Karen were amazing, taking care of so many things and allowing our family to properly plan for our daughters final journey.
Robert and Karen are lovely people who immediately put you at ease, extremely professional and nothing was ever to much trouble, even during weekends and evenings.
I would strongly recommend Robert Quinn Funeral Directors

I have to echo the comments of my husband following the passing of our daughter. I want to add that our daughter was in the Chapel of Rest for 2 weeks, and we were able to visit her any time we wanted without question. The room was so tranquil, overlooking the garden. The way Rob and Karen cared for our daughter gave us much comfort. They both made an extremely traumatic experience as calm and dignified as is possible, and I'll never forget their compassion.

Karen and Robert were excellent in helping us arrange Dad's funeral - from the outset when we first called them to finalising the arrangements on the day. They struck the right balance of compassion and practicality, providing us with helpful suggestions to ensure that the funeral reflected our wishes and Dad's personality; nothing was too much trouble for them, and they really helped us put the arrangements in place easily. Highly recommended.

With the modern offices setting the mood for a perfect send off the service received by Robert Quinn and co is second to none. A personal touch, nothing is too much trouble, the whole process is so much easier than any other funeral directors. Add to the mix the warmth from a wonderfully professional celebrant I cannot recommend this group of people more highly. 5stars is not enough.

A highly recommended extremely professional funeral directors. Robert and Karen took care of our mother’s funeral with the utmost care and respect, not only to our mum but to us all as a family. Whilst paying attention to detail nothing was too much trouble. Definitely a five star outstanding company we would highly recommend. Thank you Robert and Karen for all your care, attention and professionalism at this very difficult time.

Robert and Karen made a difficult time a lot less stressful with their respectful and friendly approach. They immediately made you feel at ease and as if nothing was too much trouble. Their premises are light, airy and welcoming and the whole experience was very positive. They really do go the extra mile to make sure that all goes well and they have a kind and attentive approach. We would not hesitate to recommend them.
