About Us

CM Walkers Funeral Services in Washington are here to guide you through organising a respectful and dignified funeral for their loved one.

CM Walkers offer a range of funerals, from direct cremations to totally bespoke arrangements with options that include motorcycle funerals, London Bus funerals, and horse drawn carriages or vintage lorries!

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 options can have their own coffin made from cardboard or wicker.

For those who prefer traditional arrangements, CM Walkers are able to organise everything from getting a religious minister or humanist celebrant to lead the service, to providing a coffin and nameplate, to funeral transport (hearse and limousine) and coffin flowers. A chapel of rest is available at the premises, giving you time to say goodbye to your loved one in peace.

    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.

  • 5 Margaret Watson 11th Feb 2022

    I would not hesitate to recommend CMWalkers to friends , family and colleagues .

    The website set out the competitive funeral & cremation packages available which meant we could consider this as a family, before Chris came to the house .

    Chris was very professional,
    compassionate , easy to talk too and ensured we knew exactly what to expect on the day .

    We had every faith that the day would run to plan which it did.

    I would definitely use Chris again.

    Chris and the team were excellent from start to finish. They treat us all with respect and dignity. Nothing was too much for them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Thanks again for everything you have done for us.
