Elizabeth Foster 26th Dec 2019

Excellent service from the initial visit to discuss and organise the funeral for my husband to the actual funeral. They were professional, respectful and kept me well informed on what was happening and answering any queries I had. On the day of the funeral everything went smoothly and exactly as I had hoped for, on what was obviously a very emotional day.

Christopher Watts 3rd Dec 2019

Thank You so much to the entire team. The requirements were to a very tight schedule. These are MOT'S: Moments Of Truth. When everything has the potential to go wrong and the effort and dedication paid off and W&T delivered.

Sharon Smart 29th Nov 2019

James, Sue and the rest of the team at Walton & Taylor were extremely helpful, informative and happy to accommodate all our requests for my father’s service (from the piper to the tartan rug to the extra photos in the order of service). Their attention to detail and regular communication with us during the planning period was great and the service itself went exactly as we had wanted – a truly uplifting celebration of my dad’s life, which he would have loved. When you have never organised a funeral before, it can be a very daunting prospect at a time of great emotion. Walton & Taylor guided us sensitively through the process and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else coping with a bereavement.

    Incredibly professional, sensitive and accommodating to all our needs and requirements.

    I was overwhelmed with their attention to detail and ensuring the funeral was exactly as planned. I would certainly recommend them to anybody who needs their services.

    Very kind and helpful staff. Very professional service all carried out with great dignity 
    Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. 

  • 5 Kerry Cheridjian 9th Aug 2019

    James was able to organise white cars for my Mum’s funeral to meet her wishes, and also arrange for the wicker coffin to be sprayed white. He also liaised with the venue for the wake and the church and crematorium  to ensure we were able to have exactly what we wanted for the day. They helped us truly celebrate my Mum’s life in a way she would have loved. 

  • 4 Andrew Gibbs 26th May 2019

    After an initial couple of blips with the order of service the firm was very good. The day itself was organised immaculately and could not have gone better

  • 5 Adam Smith 25th May 2019

  • 5 Michael Whitley 28th Apr 2019

    James and his team dealt with everything so professionally and emphatically.
    Care and attention was given at all meetings.
    I would recommend Walton and Taylor to anyone having to deal with berevment.

  • 5 Carole Merriman 3rd Apr 2019

    I chose this funeral director because it is totally independent of the Co-op organisation.
    James who runs the Rugby office was professional throughout. He was calm, and accommodated all of my suggestions and last minute changes. I am not very computer literate and preferred the face to face meeting or phone conversations we had to finalise details. Thankfully my son was able to help with the computer stuff.

    I will be pleased to recommend Walton and Taylor to friends.

  • 5 Thomas Morgan 22nd Mar 2019

    A compassionate and caring service.

  • 5 Sam Walsh 15th Mar 2019

  • 5 Lucy Hawkins 22nd Feb 2019

    More than satisfied with the service of Walton & Taylor. Having never organised a funeral before I found them extremely helpful and professional 

  • 5 Penny Poulter 12th Feb 2019

    James and Sue couldn't have been more helpful, they understood completely how we wanted the funeral day to go and delivered without a hitch. Thank you so much to you both.

  • 5 Margaret Tuite 1st Feb 2019

    From start to finish, our dealings with Walton & Taylor gave confidence of their ability and willingness to provide a courteous and considerate service at all times. They could not have been more helpful, not over-zealous, but sufficiently knowledgeable to share their expertise and thus lift from me particularly, as the widow, the burden of not knowing which way to turn first in our loss. Well planned, well executed, Thank you.

  • 5 Donald Kildin 22nd Dec 2018

    they did every thing that was asked of them with great respect thank you

  • 5 Helen Palmer 17th Dec 2018

    Walton & Taylor provided a great service, delivered with kindness and empathy. They made a very hard time easier for myself and my family.

  • 5 Deborah Harvey 7th Dec 2018

    They were excellent nothing was too much trouble. I’d recommend them to anyone. 

  • 5 David Noble 24th Nov 2018

    I would like to say that, all the people who where involved with my mum's funeral were of the highest integrity and professionalism.



    Thank you so much.

  • 5 Karen Rowles 23rd Nov 2018

    My Father passed away in 1987 and Walton and Taylor were the funeral directors who were charged with his arrangements. So impressed with the care and dignity shown for my Dad, my Mother stipulated to us that she wanted Walton and Taylor's to care for her when her time came.
    Sadly that time came this year.
    From start to finish they were fantastic and showed the same care and dignity as they had 31 years earlier.
    We were never pressured into anything we didn't feel comfortable with and allowed to instruct them without any "sales chat"
    Thank you James and Sue for all the care and guidance you showed us when arranging my Mothers funeral.

    Not a criticism but maybe tell family when the deposit is due. I am aware that it is stated on the back of the invoice, but I failed to read it at the time and I was mortified when you had to remind me.
    God bless and hope to see you when my time comes

  • 5 Jean Smith 20th Nov 2018

    a very professional and dignified service through out, could not have asked for more. thank you.
