AB Walker, Funeral Directors Avis 

Being allowed to consider each element of the procedure at my own pace, without any pressure.

Considerate and friendly staff.

Reasonable price for the service provided.

What can I say. Jordan was absolutely outstanding. She organised everything for us because we live in Ireland. She handled everything with the upmost care and efficiency. She kept us informed at every stage. She is a star. AB Walker are very lucky to have her.

I had to deal with death of my husband in the summer of 2025 and I chose AB Walker because as a family we had used them for my parents.
From the time they picked up my husband from home, nothing was too much trouble, no question too mundane and no matter how busy, they always found time for me.
Anna guided us through all the details we needed to know, the thing AB Walker could do for us and the things we had to do had clear deadlines so there was no mix up.
Even the drivers of the hearse allowed us to touch and see the coffin before we left home, our car driver was happy to engage in conversation and they were all so kind to us, especially as there were children under 10 attending the funeral.

For their attention to details, their kindness and graciousness I would absolutely always recommend them every time.

Everything you did was excellent no problems at all

Very Professional team who work very closely with you to meet your funeral requirements and be supportive through difficult times.

I would like to thank the great team at AB Walker Reading ,
Especially Clare who was both extremely professional
But also so very kind during such a sad occasion.

Having recently dealt with AB Walkers Tilehurst branch, I can honestly say that they could not have been more supportive. Every single staff member that we dealt with went above and beyond. A special thank you to Becky in the office you made a very difficult and challenging day beautiful. Thank you

Jess was absolutely amazing when dealing with her regarding my father. After her initial call and contact she was empathetic and informative, in the end the family made a decision to take a different route - not due to the funeral directors performance at all - and they were supportive and continually informative. When calling and speaking to different members of staff it was exactly the same response. Simply superb service.

A confident and compassionate meeting to talk about and book mums funeral service. All communication clear and thoughtful. On the day everything went to plan and was beautifully carried out.

Emily and Jordan were just exceptional with their help and compassion looking after the family when I lost my Mum. Nothing was to much trouble and they made the whole process just a little bit more bearable knowing they were there looking after us and Mum. I would recommend AB Walker and would not hesitate to use them in the future.

All details covered, nothing was too much trouble, communication was always prompt and reassuring. At a difficult time, the calm, dignified and caring approach of all staff was appreciated

Everyone who was dealing with my dear husband’s funeral was kind, caring and understanding. Thank you so much, you were there when I needed you!

A B Walker acted with sympathy and dignity through out the period that they were looking after my Dad. Nothing was too much trouble. A very sad day was made worry free.

I cannot rate AB Walker Caversham high enough. 5 star is an under rating!
From the 1st call, to say Jenny had passed, I spoke to a real person, I think his name was David. Totally throw me, when he answered after just 2 or 3 rings. No pressing this button for what ever or leaving messages on voicemails!
He was very professional when he & his colleague came to take Jenny. They made a very emotional time, a little bit easier.
The 2 ladies in the Caversham office, Melanie & Louise, were brilliant. Really helped me through the whole process. Even doing a couple of things for me, that I wasn't up to doing.
Nothing seemed to much trouble for them. Even letting me sit in the front office a few times, just talking with them, about Jenny. They gave me the time & helped me & our children, when we went to view Jenny a couple of times. They made me feel I could have stayed there all day/night if I wanted.
David & his team were great at the cemetery. Helping guide us through the whole process, to Jenny's final resting place.
I have left instructions with my children to use the same office when it's my time to join Jenny.

From the first contact with AB Walker to the day itself I felt supported and knew I could contact them if I had any questions and they always replied promptly. This gave me great comfort at a very difficult and upsetting time in my life.

Heidi who I dealt with had a compassionate, kind, helpful and professional approach. I would also like to give a special mention to Susie Mitchell, the Celebrant , who provided invaluable help when getting together the order of service for my husband’s funeral and conducted the service in a warm and deeply personal way.

Could not have asked for a more sensitive and supportive experience during our bereavement. Caring, professional and transparent. Clare was very helpful and so easy to work with. The team who collected our loved one were wonderful. The lady on reception was warm and friendly. The team on the day of the funeral were superb. Highly recommend this exceptional service.

Internment of Ashes went ahead with no problems - electric mini was great publicity

A very attentive, professional and discreet company. They have years of experience and it shows. They took care of everything which made a stressful and emotional period manageable.

Professional and compassionate approach to everything concerning the passing of my husband, from the organisation to the final part of the funeral.
