  • 5 Donna Neal 14th Jan 2023

    During a very difficult time in our lives, we recieved informative information which was explained if we didn't understand anything, in a sensitive manner. What I really liked about Walton & Taylor is that they listened to what we wanted and our Mum's style. They did amazing with the suggestions given for the service sheets and found our mum a glitter coffin! All their work made the process less stressful during a sad time so I would highly recommend their services.

  • 5 Richard Parry 2nd Jan 2023

  • 5 Claire Green 6th Dec 2022

    Thankyou so much for the patient,kind and gentle way you guided me and my family after the death of my mother. As she died abroad we were all concerned as to how to bring her home,and the formalities that would entail. James, looked after everything. I can speak for all my family in saying that all our last minute adjustments, and worries were listened to in a very professional, but supremely caring,personal and caring manner, nothing seemed too much trouble to James.
    I also want to say that the celebrant he recommended,( Catherine), conducted the service in a beautiful and utterly kind and gentle manner.I am also grateful to the chaps who respectfully drove the hearse and extra car, timing the journeys to perfection, and carrying my mother to the crematorium with with great respect and care.
    My thanks to all involved in giving us a fitting goodbye to our mother.
