Simon and Jason From Aldermoor were very professional, caring and showed compassion in arranging my dad’s funeral in these very strange times. Everything went smoothly and although numbers were limited, they did everything they could to ensure that my sister and I could say goodbye to our dad In the way that we wanted to.

5Mr Richard Travers30th Mar 2020
We were greeted by Tracy, who treated us with compassion and respect. She listened to our wishes and told us she would do her best to meet them all, which she did.Tracy guided us through all the formal documentation that was required. On the day of our beloved daughter cremation, Tracey was there with us, guiding us. Jo Saunders took the service, and captured the very essence of our beloved daughter. The service was beautiful. There is so much more l could say about the service we had from Walter's and Sons, sadly not enough room. So a very big THANK YOU to Walter's and Son's, Tracey and to Jo Saunders.

From the very first enquiry with Tracey, everything was perfect. This for me was my first experience of arranging a bereavement and it was all done very well. Everything was straight forward and Tracey kept in touch and double checked every detail. Highly recommended to anyone - sincerely. We couldn’t have asked for more and the Celebrant was fantastic also. We used a great chap called Adrian, and he was faultless in every way. As I say, I’d certainly recommend them to anyone.
