"The staff remained professional and showed empathy during the family's time of bereavement. They were very supportive during the funeral arrangements."
— Beverley Ramhi (about James, Sue)
"James always listened to what we wanted and actioned it accordingly. His mannerism, communication and delivery was outstanding. We feel very fortunate to have found them."
— Charmaine Turner (about James)
"They looked after our daughter with the utmost respect. Sue and James are extremely professional and approachable. They made sure our requirements were dealt with to the letter. Nothing was too much trouble."
— Michael Prendergast (about Sue, James)
"Words cannot adequately express the manner in which the team at Walton & Taylor looked after my wife and me. Nothing was too much trouble. They were so supportive at the Funeral Service."
— Christopher Pacey-Day
"We had a customised coffin and James helped with the design and getting it to absolute specification and perfection, it was simply a work of art. James and his staff not only delivered but went beyond our expectations. It is definitely a very caring and bespoke service."
— Charmaine Turner (about James)
"They opened their doors on Sundays so that I could sit with my wife as she lay in her coffin. They dressed her in some of her favourite clothes. They were happy to let me sit with her at the Funeral Home as long and as often as I wanted. People remarked to me 'Walton and Taylor made a difficult day more bearable for us all'."
— Christopher Pacey-Day
