We first used Chris in 2017 when my father in law died . He was so helpful , caring and professional. When my mother died later in the same year we contacted Chris again. The funer ... al she wanted was totally different to that of my father in law . Chris excelled himself even loaning my uncle a jacket as he had left it on a train while travelling to the funeral . My Dad passed away in August 2022 we contacted Chris and again got a fabulous service . My family and I highly recommend Chris and thank his team for their dedicated service .  more

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.

    Within the family we have used CM Walkers funeral directors a number of times in the last few years. When my mother passed away on 10th October I never had any hesitation to use them again for her funeral. Chris has a very calming manner and is very understanding of the family's needs at this sad time. He is very professional and informative and explains the procedures and will help wherever possible. I would recommend them to anyone without any hesitation.

  • 5 Robert Mawson 24th Oct 2022

    Chris has been kind and considerate through the process. He was upfront about fees which made a big difference. I would highly recommend his services.

  • 5 Dean Peacock 24th Oct 2022

    Chris Walker and his team were great, nothing was a voter and made sure everything went smoothly. Can not fault them. Chris checked with me daily. Also the Humanist (Dale Cox) Chris recommended made the day really special. 

  • 5 Christine O Donoghue 23rd Oct 2022

    Chris Walker and his associated funeral businesses, which included Lyndsey, the Celebrant, Joanne, the Florist and Michael, the Printer, did a superb job of helping us to arrange our mum’s funeral, as we would like to think she would have wanted it. They were all incredibly helpful and professional in guiding us through this very difficult and emotional time, especially Chris. This is now the second time we have used Chris’s services and cannot recommend him enough.

  • 5 Allan Gowland 28th Jul 2022

    Chris was very attentive and supportive throughout the process. Barbara’s wish was for a direct cremation, Chris ensured that he fully communicated the process and ensured that we’re happy with details. He returned the ashes to the family in a timely manner. We would definitely recommend him and will be using him for further matters when required.

    Chris was very professional, understanding and friendly from the immediate contact we made. He made all the family feel confident in the service he could deliver to say goodbye to a special person. Chris kept in constant contact and made things easy for the family. Chris and his team of staff, including the humanist, Lyndsey Bell, were amazing. We can highly recommend anyone to use Chris Walker Funeral Services.
