Craven's Funeral Homes in Liverpool & St Helens, Merseyside
About our company
Walter Craven started arranging funerals in the early nineteen twenties from premises at No.2 Broadgreen Road in Old Swan, Liverpool. He had been brought up in St. Helens but moved to Liverpool in the Great War.
The early fifties saw the acquisition of Craven Lodge in Broadgreen Road, then an elegant old house, since replaced by our modern purpose built premises.
The present Chairman, Derek Craven, joined the firm in 1963, since which time the company has been fortunate to become associated with Charlett's, Leadbetter & Murphy, Moar & Butler and Maddock & Sons Funeral Services along with funeral homes at 
Liverpool Road, Huyton and Lugsmore Lane, St. Helens. His son, Charles, joined the company in 1993 and became a Director in 1999.
All of our premises are furbished to a high standard and it is our current policy to buy new Limousines and to change them regularly, so ensuring that the quality of our vehicles matches that of our service.
Our staff are available to help you 24 hours a day every day of the year; we are as close as your nearest phone. We offer a full range of pre-payment funeral schemes.
Our private Chapels of Rest are open every day
Monday - Friday: 8.30am - 8.30pm.
Saturday: 9.00am - 12 noon.
Sunday and Bank Holidays: 10am - 12 noon & 2pm - 5pm.
(Different hours apply to our other branches' Chapels of Rest).
We are a well established, independent funeral service, family owned and run since 1925, committed to providing the highest standard of care and service to each family that we serve. Our company has grown through establishing a high reputation and through personal recommendation.
We believe that a funeral should be as individual as the person who has passed away. We, therefore, offer a wide choice of services which can be tailored to the needs, wishes and requirements of each family.
Please take care in selecting a funeral service. The information given is designed to be clear and self explanatory but if you do have any further questions please contact us. We can visit you at home to make funeral arrangements or to advise on memorial selection, if required.
