 We used Walkers Funeral Services on recommendation, and I can honestly say they went far beyond my expectations to make my Dads funeral the most perfect send off anyone could wish for. Chris’s experience, suggestions and help made the whole process  seamless. Great value and lovely people…

Really helpful and compassionate.

The service from CM Walkers was exceptional on the passing of my dear father. A very personal and caring family business that did everything to ease our suffering. The florist was superb and flowers were beautiful. The celebrant delivered a lovely eulogy. Could not speak highly enough of all involved. A big thankyou from the Potts family.

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.

  • 5 Clint Irving 30th Sep 2021

    I was more than pleased with the personal service we received from Chris Walker who helped make a difficult time very easy to get through.
    Personally, I liked the fact that a fixed and competitive price was quoted.
    A funeral is carried out at an emotional time and cost is not something that most people like to discuss but is nevertheless important.
    I would therefore recommend CM Walkers to anyone requires a friendly, efficient and dignified service throughout. Clint Irving.
