Tony Charlton 4th Feb 2022

We came across C.M Funeral services by chance when our mother passed away as they are a local business and we are chuffed to bits we did From the first phone call with Chris we were in safe hands he guided us through the process with a professional touch what was second to none he has a special quality that makes you feel at ease during one of the most difficult times in our lives He came out to see us and go through the details without trying to push any agenda he has a natural professional attitude to his profession he sorted everything out from the casket to the flowers and the music plus the order of service and even sorted an excellent celebrant called Tracey he sat with us and the price he quoted was far cheaper than we expected with no hidden extras guaranteed and no matter how many times we altered the service he did it without question Chris even past my mother's house and got out and walked the hearse down her street so her friends and neighbours could pay their respects The day of the funeral went without a hitch and I would like to finish by thanking Chris from the bottom of our hearts for his first class service and we would not hesitate to recommend his services thank you Chris

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.

At a very distressing time, CM Walkers Funeral Services help families cope with their grief by proving round-the-clock care and advice through every step of the way. They are available 24 hours a day to provide expert advice on every aspect of the funeral arrangement process. The staff at this professional and caring funeral home are happy to discuss all of your options with you, and they will be on hand at any time if you need help or advice.

  • 5 Tony Charlton 4th Feb 2022

    We came across C.M Funeral services by chance when our mother passed away as they are a local business and we are chuffed to bits we did
    From the first phone call with Chris we were in safe hands he guided us through the process with a professional touch what was second to none he has a special quality that makes you feel at ease during one of the most difficult times in our lives
    He came out to see us and go through the details without trying to push any agenda he has a natural professional attitude to his profession he sorted everything out from the casket to the flowers and the music plus the order of service and even sorted an excellent celebrant called Tracey he sat with us and the price he quoted was far cheaper than we expected with no hidden extras guaranteed and no matter how many times we altered the service he did it without question
    Chris even past my mother's house and got out and walked the hearse down her street so her friends and neighbours could pay their respects
    The day of the funeral went without a hitch and I would like to finish by thanking Chris from the bottom of our hearts for his first class service and we would not hesitate to recommend his services thank you Chris

  • 5 Vivien Allan 20th Sep 2021

    Mr Walker delivered a fantastic service for my dad’s funeral. He was very interested to hear of my father’s life and listened to the service and eulogies. He put us in touch with a lovely lady to deliver the eulogy. He also organised live streaming for my niece who lives in Qatar. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services. 

  • 5 Louise Prudhoe 10th Aug 2021

    Very professional and personal service provided by Colin and his team willing to help with anything and nothing was problem to them highly recommended

  • 5 Winifred McGillivray 3rd Jul 2021

    I would highly recommend this firm. As the deceased my wife's Aunt lived in Washington and all the family stayed in Scotland we relied on their advice and support throughout the whole procedure. Chris in particular was excellent he organised everything down to the last detail. On the day of the cremation his staff and himself carried of the ceremony with great dignity.
    I thank them all.

    Mr John Mcgillivray

  • 5 Emma Nelson 17th May 2021

    Was the 1st time I had to arrange a funeral.
    Chris @ CM Walkers Funeral Services was very helpful/respectful on the information given and required on the passing of our Dad.

    Thank you once again
    Emma and Daniel

  • 5 Brian Hall 17th May 2021

    It was important to me that the director I used was expert in dealing with a modern covid safe funeral. This was the case and Chris more than met my expectations. It was a fair price and everything I wanted was included such as flowers, order of service, a limousine, a minister or humanist of your choice and everything else you would expect. A truly professional service and a pleasure to do business with. Would recommend.

  • 5 Lynne Hill 17th May 2021

    Couldn't rate Chris and the team more highly. Nothing was a problem and the cost was extremely competative.

  • 5 Grant Bell 9th Apr 2021

    With no notice at all and based on Google reviews we quickly selected CM Walkers above that of a national brand to take care of my Mam. Chris advised his team would be there within 2 hours which they were and took her under their care.
    Chris’s support and guidance to the family has been amazing and went above that of the expectations which we believed were possible. He helped to arrange the service, cars and flowers to which we are eternally grateful.
    Chris is a great guy and helped settle nerves on what is obviously a hard time for the family. His team at the service were accommodating and very professional and although i would ideally never need to use his services again i would have no hesitation and would highly recommend him.
    Thanks again for everything Chris and for us it was great to meet you at such a hard time and also help to support local businesses.

  • 5 Susan Huntley 1st Apr 2021

    Excellent service from start to finish. Would recommend very highly 

  • 5 Judith Dole 2nd Mar 2021
