Walker's Funeral Service

Walker’s Funeral Service is a family-owned and independently run business based in Newton-le-Willows and Sutton, St Helens. Through a combined wealth of experience, we are delighted and privileged to be able to provide a comprehensive range of services to local families during and after their most difficult time of need. Owner and head funeral director, Richard Walker, has been in the profession for many years, lending families much needed compassionate support and guidance throughout the funeral arrangement process. Aided by office manager, Jennifer Walker, and funeral operatives Stephen Walker, Alan Jacks, Lee Hoath, Frank King and Vinnie Monaghan, Walker’s Funeral Service guarantees the very best care for your loved one.
