I want to thank walker and morrell funeral directors for the care you have shown us when my dad passed away. Joe was the first person we saw and he has been with us throughout, always very compassionate and helpful, we would not have managed without his support. Thank you Anne and Maria.

I first met Joe at St George's Care Home when my mam sadly passed away. Joe was so caring and friendly, he has a very approachable manner.When my brother and I went into Walker & Morrell's in Washington, we found Joe to be professional. He was very helpful and supportive. He made a heartbreaking time so much easier, nothing was too much trouble. Joe helped me through this difficult time with his professional courtesy and reassurance.I would, without a shadow of a doubt, recommend Walker & Morrell's in Washington. Thank you

We cannot thank everyone enough for giving our mam a good send off, one she deserved, we know she would have loved it.
