At a very difficult time for our family from the moment we spoke with CM Walkers Funeral Services we immediately felt at ease. Chris was very helpful and took away all the stress in relation to planning a family members funeral arrangements. I would definitely recommend CM Walkers Funeral Services who offer an excellent and affordable service.

Myself and my family are really grateful for the services provided by CM Walkers Funeral Services back in February. They made a very difficult time that little bit easier for me and my family. This was our first time planning a funeral and as it was our mam, we really wanted everything to be perfect for her and CM Walkers ensured that this was the case. The support and kindness we were shown by all was lovely and we really appreciate everything that was done by Chris and the team, not forgetting Dale & Michael K. Thank you all so much.

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.
