I would highly recommend Walter C Parsons who arranged my Mums funeral for us. Both Vikki and Shona showed compassion and kindness and made a difficult time more bearable. They were efficient, inspired confidence and made sure I was fully informed of any developments. I feel they went above and beyond to look after us. Thank you so much.

Thank you to Vikki and Sarah in the Plymstock office, for all your compassion and care with arranging my Mums funeral in August. At an incredibly sad & emotional time, you made us feel comfortable being in Barton, and even made us laugh while we worked through the details you needed to know, to progress things. I cannot thank you enough for your support and kindness. You are both a credit to the company.
★★★★★
Having used Walter C. Parson for a number of family funerals, they were an obvious choice for us when our Mum recently died. We cannot thank Vikki, Sarah and all of the team enough for their continuous support, genuine compassion and total professionalism, at such a difficult time.
★★★★★
The second time now that I have chosen Walter Parson for their funeral services. I can't imagine that anyone else could offer such a professional yet deeply caring approach and understanding for all the arrangements that we needed to encounter along the way. Both Sarah and Vicky became "family". They listened with compassion to our requests and with their guidance made a sad time into a truly remarkable and very memorable experience. We thank you from our hearts for the love and respect that you gave to Dad on his final journey.

From the very moment I walked through the doors which I was unprepared for I was made to feel welcome and not alone. This has been the first time I have ever had to make arrangements for a funeral and this was a hard challenge as this was for my mum, who was and always will be my world, best friend and my guardian. I wanted to ensure I gave her everything she wanted and Vicky and the team helped to achieve this and more based at Plymstock. The commitment to delivering an outstanding service made a significant impact, and I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge their efforts. From the moment
