  • 5 Karen Down 5th Sep 2023

    Sue and James at Walton & Taylor were incredibly supportive and made the whole process of planning the funeral simple and pain free. Everything went very well on the day with music exactly as planned and an excellent choice of celebrant (selected by Sue following our discussion). All the suppliers were excellent - flowers by Pauline in Hillmorton wee absolutely beautiful and she incorporated Rosemary from my garden in remembrance of my friend Rosemary. Order of Service was excellent as was the slide show tribute. I couldn't fault them on anything - and would highly recommend!
