Dear Emma and Aisha. Words can not describe or express how wonderful, caring & friendly you lovely ladies both are. Over the past month you both have looked after my Dad with love & care. We never felt rushed & you always gave us lots of time with him. Always very friendly & welcoming both on the phone & in person, both always happy to help us and support us. Today was the day we laid our Dad to rest. Emma was our funeral director she was absolutely amazing. Thank you Emma and Aisha for all you have done. With love Rachel & Family xx❤️

Walter Parsons of St.Jude's have arranged three funerals for me in the last couple of years and have been, kind and thoughtful of everything. Nothing is too much trouble, they explain everything and I did nothing it was all done for me. The funerals were prepaid years ago with no additional costs. The initial meeting can be quick or you can take your time, there is no rush, you go at your own pace. I cannot recommend them enough. Many Thanks Sue Costello

I would like to say thank you to all the members of staff that helped on the day of my uncles funeral. Aisha and Emma wow just wow, what caring, compassionate and diligent ladies. I can’t thank them enough. Having Emma there on the day leading the funeral was so comforting. Aisha sorting the paper announcements and order of service etc which were all amazing! A true credit to the Walter Parson team. At such a sad and difficult time they made things incredibly easy. They truly deserve recognition. Walter Parson have done a few funerals for our family and I can’t recommend them enough.
★★★★★
Huge gratitude for the professionalism, caring attitude and efficiency of the Walter C Parsons team in Plymouth. A special mention for Emma who dealt with us brilliantly all the way through from our first contact. She kept us fully informed and made sure everything was in place very quickly despite the arrangements having to be made across the New Year break and a 250 mile distance between us. The choice of Celebrant to lead our ceremony was perfect. We would highly recommend the company, your loved ones will be in very safe hands.
★☆☆☆☆
Heard mixed reviews about the company so myself and my husband contacted the branch at the end of Salisbury Road in regards to my fathers passing, only be to greeted with the most uninterested sounding person on the other end of the line. I mentioned my experience to a family friend and she said she had not had the same experience but that the company is known for “blowing hot and cold”. Not the best experience while trying to grieve. Ended up going with another funeral directors just off of Laira bridge who were fantastic.
