The Wokingham branch is part of a wider network of local branches, each committed to delivering care, compassion, and understanding to families during their most difficult times. The team guides families through every step of the funeral arrangement process, offering a fully personalised service to ensure the farewell is right for both the individual and their loved ones.
Services available include cremation, direct cremation, burial, and green and natural burials, alongside comprehensive support with planning the service, coffins, funeral transport, flowers, catering, and order of service. AB Walker also offers prepaid funeral plans, bereavement support, memorial masonry, and an online shop for urns, keepsakes, and memorial jewellery. The company is a member of both the National Association of Funeral Directors and SAIF (Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors).
"AB Walker were caring, professional and well organised, and extremely helpful in sorting out issues in making arrangements."
— Pauline Jorgensen
"They have now carried out two funerals for me. They are attentive, responsive and caring — nothing is too much trouble for them. They provide excellent advice on the whole process from beginning to end."
— Simon Daughters
"I cannot praise Bev and staff enough for the help and support arranging our uncle's funeral. His son and I paid one visit and everything was arranged and booked in that one visit including the programme, the flowers — they even recommended a venue for the after reception. It took a lot of pressure off us and the service was stunning, everybody commented everything was spot on."
— Patricia Mayes (about Bev, Kat)
"The team have supported me from the evening my mum passed to the delivery and installation of the memorial stone. The communication was incredible throughout making a very tough time that bit easier. I know mum was in such good hands. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
— Mandy Jarvis (about Heidi, David, Charlie)

You probably don't need to pay for the funeral yourself
The estate will likely go through probate, which means the funeral costs can be paid from the estate. You need a probate specialist to make this happen.
