CM WALKERS FUNERAL SERVICES REVIEWS

I was more than pleased with the personal service we received from Chris Walker who helped make a difficult time very easy to get through. Personally, i liked the fact that a fixed and competitive price was quoted. A funeral is carried out at an emotional time and cost is not something most people like to discuss but it is nevertheless important. I would therefore recommend CM Walkers to anyone who requires a friendly, efficient and dignified service throughout.

Wouldn"t use anyone else, this is my 3rd time using CM Walkers in 4 years. What a team they are go above and beyond in helping and making sure everything runs smoothly as it could. Well done Chris and the team.

Chris offered a personal service and took on board all our requests. Customer service was excellent and the webcast was well received by family who were unable to attend.

WALKER & MORRELL FUNERAL DIRECTORS REVIEWS

Amazing people very helpful and caring , ammiee went out of her way to help my daughter get finger prints of my dad who had passed away so she could get a necklace made as a surprise gift for me . Great service from beginning to end ,, highly recommended.

They showed compassion and empathy from the very start. Always there to support in every part of the process to help and guide you through it all. A very difficult time eased by knowing they were taking care of all arrangements.

Would certainly recommend them, Aimee and the team were excellent, very professional and helpful, cannot fault them for their service and understanding at this very sad time.
