The team at A B Walker could not have handled the arrangements for my brother’s funeral any better! Everyone commented on the lovely service led by Chris Brown which truly reflected his life and character. So thank you to everyone involved. We would definitely recommend this company. Very professional and respectful

We couldn't of wished for any better. AB Walker Thatcham were incredibly well presented and professional, no request was to big. Jazz bands, modern clean Jags, Tailored attire, printed coffin. A company fit for the best. Special mentions go to Carolyn for being great and making time for us even though we did not have a formal appointment! Lee and the conductor Tony for being fantastic and making us relaxed and smile on such an important day. You did my father proud. Thanks again Beacroft Family

I was dreading today as it was my fathers funeral, but the professionalism of both Carolyn of Thatcham branch and Tony from Reading made the service more bare able. Derek Dunn spoke eloquently about Bob, despite the restrictions due to Covid we were made welcome and all the family and friends felt it was a wonderful send off for my departed father. Thank you and I would recommend AB Walker.

We recently used A B Walker and Son Ltd Funeral Directors to arrange my late Step-father's cremation at Thatcham Cremation. The whole service that we received was completely professional and compassionate. Things were offered in a very clear and straightforward manner with no hidden costs. The Hearse, Driver and Pall Bearers were superb. They were punctual, smart, and sensitive to the needs of us all. The leading man spent time talking to my mum and even went to retrieve the flowers from the coffin that we had not originally asked to keep. He was sensitive, polite and I could not have asked f

AB Walker handled the funeral of my dad and they were exemplary. Both professional and warm at the same time, they made an awful event as painless, bearable and pleasant as was probably possible. Thank you, AB Walker (especially Carolyn and Tony) xx
