Simon Gray 9th Mar 2026

James and Sue had a calm, respectful manner. They were efficient and patient as we sought to get the funeral details correct, so everything went smoothly on the day. We couldn't recommend them highly enough.

Gill McWilliams 1st Mar 2026

I could not have asked for better treatment from start to finish. They were respectful and considerate every step of the way. Everything was dealt with to make it as easy as possible for me at the most awful of times. I only know the names of two of the staff but James & Sue could not have made the time from death to after the funeral of my loved one any kinder

    We cannot thank James and the team enough for the care, compassion, and sensitivity shown to us during such a difficult time. From the very beginning, we were guided gently and professionally through every step of the process. Nothing ever felt rushed, and every detail was handled with dignity and respect. Their kindness and reassurance brought us great comfort, and we are truly grateful for the support they gave our family.

    Both Sue and James have been kind, helpful and efficient in helping me through the process of arranging and attending the funeral of my husband. Everything went very smoothly on the day thanks to their discreet presence and attention to detail. This is not the first time I have used Walton and Taylor and I returned to them because I found them so good when I had to arrange the funeral of a good friend a couple of years ago. Many thanks to the whole team.

Communication has been fantastic and all the support we needed to arrange the funeral. We can't thank you enough. James and Sue you are both amazing.
