Very pleased with the service supplied especially at a very sensitive time.
5Loraine Brown18th Mar 2021
Waters & Sons have been absolutely brilliant all the way through this very difficult time. They made things straightforward for us from the start, as well as being so understanding. Tony, Alison and Becky were excellent and a credit to the company. Everything went very well on the day of the funeral - including the weather! A special thanks to Liza Riggway, who conducted a lovely service. My dad would have definitely approved.

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.
5Mark Jukes6th Mar 2020
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.
