The kindness and compassion that James showed us, at a very difficult time, helped us enormously and will be remembered. From the minute we visited the funeral parlour he guided us through the process, and offered gentle advice regarding arrangements for Mum’s funeral. Communication was excellent at all times. James and his colleagues were very professional and understanding throughout. Finally, the Celebrant (MR) who James put us in touch with, did an absolute brilliant job in leading the service and captured everything about Mum after only a short home visit to discuss the service. We would highly recommend all the services as above, as they helped make for a sad but joyful day.

I cannot thank the team at Walton & Taylor Ltd enough for the incredible care, compassion and professionalism they showed after the passing of my partner. From our very first meeting, Sue guided me through the entire arrangement process with patience and gentleness during such a sad time. Walton & Taylor Ltd helped give my partner the beautiful, thoughtful send-off they deserved and I would highly recommend their services to anyone in need of a caring and dedicated funeral director.

Walton &Taylor provided an excellent service as we were recommended to use them and I have no hesitation in recommending their services. Professional, caring, excellent communication, attention to detail and recommended a vicar to deliver our service who was excellent. Thank you
