  • If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

We first booked into Jonathan Walker Funeral. Shannon who dealt with us first was friendly but I did find it hard to get through on the phone. Always busy promised to phone back but slow returning my calls. Making arrangements with the priest was actually done by myself. The priest even said they never emailed him! After a few weeks, we then found out our dad was then moved to Shirley. No email no phone call until I started chasing. Now I will say the Girls at Shirley were lovely and couldn't apologize enough. It was also nice for a person to answer the phone straight away not a machine. Now the funeral wasn't cheap but charging £20 to visit your loved one just seems a bit harsh. Thankfully the day went without any hassle and it was beautiful. They seemed very professional and lovely..

Claire and her colleagues were indispensable. We were guided through every step in preparing for our fathers Funeral. There was a great deal of organisation, Chapel of rest, being received into church, arranging the priest, organist, liaising with the crematorium, Limousines, flowers etc. We would have been lost without the tireless help of Claire and all her colleagues at Johnathan Walkers Funeral Directors. Our heartfelt thanks for everything you have done for our family and the wonderful send off our father had. He would have been so proud.
Response from Jonathan Walker Funeral Directors

Jonathan Walker provided a 1st class funeral service for my dearest aunt. The staff were really helpful and guided us at ever step of the way. Communications were excellent and the staff very respectful & professional. The whole process was also less stressful by using the dignity funeral plan that we had put in place.
I would highly recommend Jonathan Walker Funeral Services to anyone.
