Very good service. A lovely funeral organiser who kept in touch and was always available to answer questions. Everything went very well and was so easy.

Very sensitive and helpful. No hard sell. Funeral director gave timely guidance on the day sensitively and unobtrusively, and the pall bearers were very respectful. The funeral administrator was very organised, and went above and beyond to arrange for the ashes to be buried in a casket of our choice.

Melanie at the Caversham office and the team dealt with my late father's funeral arrangements beautifully. They were really helpful and understanding and treated the family with kindness and respect.
Everything went smoothly, both leading up to the funeral and the funeral itself, the service was lovely and the flowers were beautiful.
We want to pass on our special thanks to Don who looked after us all on the day and suggested that my sister & I walk with him in front of the hearse, which was a lovely touch.

The experience of losing someone can be very traumatic and Rachel from the Thatcham branch made the whole process as simple and effortless as possible. The compassion she showed towards me and my family was exemplary and I would not hesitate in recommending AV Walker to anyone.

Walkers took such wonderful care in planning my wife's funeral. Francesca in particular went above and beyond in helping with everything at such a stressful time. Nothing was ever too much trouble.

At what was a traumatic time for me and my family, following the death of my husband, Walkers provided a very professional and sensitive service. Their help, advice and kind manner was very much appreciated as we were guided through the whole process and this helped to make it more manageable.
