Anderson Funeral Directors
Our family strive to offer the best for your family
Anderson Family Run Funeral Directors are based in Whitby Village, Ellesmere Port. We are a family run funeral home. We are not associated with any other funeral directors in Ellesmere Port, Chester, Wirral or anywhere else, making our services professional and personal to every family we care for. We are fully qualified, professional and dedicated funeral directors.

Know that you are in safe hands
In a rapidly changing industry many family run funeral directors have been sold to large corporations and quite often some still maintain the old family name. Anderson’s remains 100% owned and managed by the Anderson family alone. We offer traditional values, professional services and an unwavering dedication to the calling of being a funeral director. The day to day running of Anderson’s is carried out by ourselves, making each part of our service in Ellesmere Port both genuinely bespoke and personal.
We believe it is our responsibility, as funeral directors, to offer suitable services to bereaved families and to advise families in the correct manner; the choices you make are our responsibility. Choice is important, there should be no regrets, but when the burden of cost for one of those choices falls on the bereaved, the accountability and sense of responsibility of your funeral director is of vital importance.
Reassurance that we are a trusted Independent Funeral Director
We are members of SAIF, The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors. SAIF is a trade association whose members are all independent funeral directors. The funeral service they offer is not part of a national or international conglomerate or chain but is privately owned and managed. In fact, a large proportion of SAIF members’ funeral homes have been run by the same family for generations.
Independent funeral directors are known for their high standard of service and a caring, traditional approach to their local communities, 24 hours a day, 365 days of the year. By choosing a SAIF member when the need arises, you are assured of a trusted and caring professional who is dedicated to serving the needs of the community. SAIF Members must adhere to a strict Code of Practice and are subject to inspections from SAIF.

EXCELLENT Based on 129 reviews Christine Sass31/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. A heartfelt thank you for all the staff at Andersons. The dignity, empathy and professionalism they showed us while arranging mums funeral was second to none from initial introduction to the aftercare after mums funeral. Also the pure finesse of the service in church and at the crematorium. All the staff are courteous and it was fine details such as placing Forget Me Knot badge on the coffin, placing mums jewellery in a lovely little box, passing daughters a flower to hold during the service and the attention to detail while laying the floral tributes at each service and the wake. This all made mums final journey beautiful and flawless which is what we all wished and hoped for. Shortly after mums funeral I attended another funeral, again delivered by Andersons and the staff recognised me and took time to ask how I was. I would highly recommend Andersons and cannot thank them enough. Kerrie Pickstock24/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Helen Williamson22/07/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'd like to thank everyone at Andersons for the care and compassion they gave to us when dealing with our mums funeral. Everything was dealt with respectfully and with such dignity, nothing was too much trouble. It's the little extra things that make the difference. From the detailed timetable of the funeral to the consideration for my frail dad, the tissues and water readily available in the cars to the umbrellas for people leaving the church who were caught in an unexpected downpour. Every need was met. Thank again for supporting us through the most difficult time in our lives. Christina Shuker17/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I wish I could give 100 gold stars. When my beloved husband David passed away there was only one Funeral Director I wanted to contact, that was Andersons. I wanted the very best so that my family and myself would know that he was in safe and caring hands. From the phone call to make the appointment with Ryan through to the funeral our every request was handled with dignity and sensitivity. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Every phone call, those little touches that David and his team do so well and so effortlessly. The chats with Ryan, Geraldine and Estell when I couldn't make a decision over the smallest thing. The respect shown throughout the whole process of the funeral will remain with us all. Thank you so much, you are OUTSTANDING. Nichola Ames12/06/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Words can't describe the most wonderful service that we received from everyone at Andersons. Anderson's looked after our Mum after she recently passed away. Mum had chosen Anderson's years ago and had made the funeral arrangements with Dav & Catherine - every single request Mum made years ago was delivered. The level of professionalism, respect, dignity, genuine sympathy and guidance given to myself and our family during this difficult time was just impeccable. Every single person who came into contact with Anderson's, the nursing home, the vicar, every guest and family member have made a point of complimenting Andersons as they stood out as excellent. The attention to detail and little touches- tissues, bottles of water. sweeping roads and driveways, cones on the road, the respect shown to the hearse and coffin, nothing was too much trouble or overlooked. They are the elite of funeral directors and truly wonderful people. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Phil Riley21/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Anderson’s are nothing short of absolutely superb. Whether it’s the office and the organisation, to the team on the day, just flawless. Highly organised, predicting and planning for all eventualities, yet not losing that compassion that’s very much appreciated. Having entrusted the closest of relatives to Anderson’s, on 3 occasions in 12 months, they were absolutely critical in designing and executing the most perfect (and different in each case), respectful and appropriate day on all cases. This service displays great integrity and honesty, organisation, compassion and shared ideas to make the awful day a memorable and positive experience. Such a personal service from Anderson’s. Thanks Dav, Sarah, Ryan, Karl and the rest of the team, you are all fantastic in what you have done for our family Sharon Steadman01/05/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
