Chris carried out my brothers funeral over three years ago so I had no hesitation in asking if he would help me organise my mothers and take her into his care. He was there every step of the way and organised everything to perfection , her wicker coffin was absolutely beautiful with flowers around the side and top
I would not hesitate to recommend him to close friends

Chris and his team were fantastic. The care and attention to detail was great and ensured that my brother’s funeral was exactly what he would have wanted. Chris was so understanding and easy to work with, staying in regular contact and taking care of us as well as my brother. We truly felt that my brother was in good hands, giving us comfort. As a family, we can’t thank Chris enough for everything he did, during the worst time.

Chris from C M Walkers was very helpful at a very difficult time! I explained to him what Mum had wanted and he did exactly what Mum and the family wanted. I was totally lost with the process, having never arranged anyone’s funeral before. Chris helped me every step of the way with all the paperwork before the funeral, the funeral process and answered any questions I had! I recommend C M Walkers to anyone who needs these services!

I would like to say a big thank you to C M Walkers for everything. The care and service received from them was exceptional. Chris was brilliant. From our initial meeting to plan Mam's funeral, he listened and helped guide us through the process taking away our stress. Thank you for looking after mam (Mary Atkinson) and giving her the send off she deserved. From the moment you took her into "your care", to taking her on her final journey it was done with dignity and professionalism.
