I just wanted to say a heart felt thank you from all the family for your wonderful care, kindness and sensitivity. You truly helped us through everything to ensure that we had a beautiful service to celebrate the life of a beloved husband, father and Poppo - and we are so deeply grateful to you. We were particularly touched by you taking the route passed the road to “Plants Galore”. Steve would have been so delighted with that. I would also like to thank your lovely drivers for their part in the day.

After losing both my parents in a very short time period, Claire and the whole team were amazing, supportive, respectful, and compassionate. I would absolutely recommend them when you are in the sad and unfortunate position I was in. Walter Parsons make the whole process more bearable, the very best thing, is they make the day go very smoothly.

A massive thank you to all at Walter Parsons funerals Crownhill, for making the process of our Mums a little less stressful. Having the funeral plan in place, and having their support and expertise through every stage of the preparations, was such a great help. The process from start to finish was excellent. Everything that we asked for was perfect, the flowers they arranged were beautiful and the service sheets were lovely. The car drivers were so respectful and nothing was too much for them. We cannot recommend Walter Parsons enough.
