Fantastic service from start to finish.  Karen very quickly put us at ease and explained everything very well.  On the day everyone was really helpful I couldn’t have asked for a better send off for Dad.  Thank you 

Sally Shaw 31st Jan 2022

A highly professional service from beginning to end, with friendly, supportive and understanding staff.  The second time we have used Walkden Funeral Care in as many years and both funerals were really lovely.  Thank you.

Everything was perfect and can't thank Karen at cheethams enough

    The service provided was excellent and the staff could not do any more to help us through this sad time.

  • 4 Alan Leedham 29th Dec 2021

    It was an efficient service;but it’s what l would expect for the considerable cost involved and provided by a long established company whose business is focused entirely upon death and bereavement.
