We were very happy with the service from D. Walsh. They were professional, supportive and communication was very good and appropriate. Thank you so much for looking after our mum so well. We would definitely recommend their services, thank you

Our family used D Walsh Funeral Directors for our mum’s funeral. Victoria was very kind and compassionate throughout our whole experience. She supported and guided through a very difficult time with professionalism and respect. We would highly recommend her and her team

What a fantastic service. Krystle is a great asset to the company she made us feel so comfortable as we had never arranged a funeral before. She took all the stress out of the whole process and was respectful throughout. When I went to register my dads death and I told them who we were using she said “oh your in very good hands” and she was right.
