Exceptional Service from Chris and his team at C M Walkers Funeral Services. Chris went above and beyond to care for my partner Davy with dignity and respect. The care and compassion shown was second to none and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much for introducing us to Val who totally understood Davy and his character which truly made a sad day into one of great celebration. Thank you from myself and Davy's family for making a difficult process as easy as it could be and the day itself into a loving lasting memory of Davy. I highly recommend Chris and his team for their services and I would also like to say in what can be a really worrying time financially the charges are very very reasonable.

From initial phone call to the actual funeral we have nothing but praise. Chris was a true professional with a caring consideration for our family and so much respect for our mum.

About Us

CM Walker Funeral Services guide families in Gateshead and across North East England to organise a respectful and dignified funeral for their loved one.

They are available 24 hours a day to provide expert advice on every aspect of the funeral arrangement process. The professional and caring funeral home are happy to discuss needs with you beforehand and liaise with government agencies, coroner, clergy, cemetery or crematorium to plan the entire service.

CM Walker’s offer direct cremations which is a great alternative for those who prefer a simple, minimalist service. Following the cremation, a memorial service can be organised for close friends and family.

For those who prefer traditional arrangements, CM Walker’s are able to organise everything from getting a humanist or religious minister, to providing a coffin and nameplate, to funeral transport (hearse and limousine) and coffin flowers. A chapel of rest available at the premises can give families a quiet space to grieve.

They are also to provide bespoke funeral arrangements for those who want to celebrate the life of a loved one. Some options include motorcycle funerals, London Bus funerals, or with a horse drawn carriage or vintage lorry.

You can even choose to customise your coffin to reflect your loved one’s hobby, favourite band, sport team or location. Those who prefer environmentally friendly option can have their own coffin made from cardboard or wicker.

At a very distressing time, CM Walker Funeral Services help families cope with their grief by proving round-the-clock care and advice through every step of the way.
