Owen Baker Funeral Directors Ltd is described by those who have used its services as a funeral director in Withington that handles arrangements with consistent care and respect. Customers writing about their orders describe the professionalism shown from the first contact through to the funeral itself, noting that they were kept informed at every stage and that nothing felt rushed. A theme running through the feedback is the empathy displayed by the team, with named members of staff such as Tim, Spadge and Kimberley singled out for going beyond what was expected.

Reviews repeatedly mention the personal touches, including a horse-drawn carriage for one service and a coffin chosen by the family, as well as the celebrants and ministers arranged on the family's behalf, among them Vinny. Families note that the funeral of a brother, mother or father was treated as if it were the team's own, with particular mention of support for an LGBT deceased person and their civil partner. The pricing is described by customers as fair and, in one account, lower than other funeral directors while including more. Arrangements for the send-off were organised thoughtfully, and the care taken with the deceased was praised.
