McCallum & Tritton & Sons (Bootle Branch)
A business born out of friendship McCallum & Tritton and Sons, Funeral Directors in Liverpool In September 1952 Douglas McCallum and Charles Tritton formed a lifetime business partnership. They were close friends prior to the outbreak of world war two, during their apprenticeships as motor mechanics at the garage of J.B.Hepburn at Bridge Road, Blundellsands. Douglas served his time in the army during the war based in the Dodecanese. Charles did his national service in Germany from 1946-1948. When re-united, Charles and Douglas completed their qualifications as mechanics and decided to become self-employed. Upon the retirement of Eileen and Kevin Tritton the company is now run by Andrew Stones who’s 35 years with the company resulted in him becoming a partner in 2011 and he continues to maintain the principles which were set up by Charlie, Douglas and Eileen when the business was set up. Andrew is ably assisted by qualified funeral directors David Bray and Ainsley Ottley.
