Behind the scenes, our workshop plays an important role in helping us care for families.

Today, Mark was looking after the bespoke coffin furniture chosen by our families, making sure every detail was prepared with care.

Our new branding work continues at our wonderful Henley-on-Thames branch.

Monty has been hard at work ensuring the presentation of our facilities reflects the high standards of service we provide every day.

We can’t wait to reveal the finished result and invite local residents to join us for a friendly drinks reception and a chat.

We attended the National Funeral Exhibition last week. It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with industry peers, meet new people and reconnect with friends in the industry. Seeing the new ideas across the sector helps us continue to improve and innovate whilst keeping our passion for service and care front of mind. It is a privilege to see how partners are evolving to further support families. There are some fantastic new additions to our service offering that we will be implementing at AB Walker. A big thank you to NEF 2026 organisers and to all suppliers we met over the few days. We are excited to continue to work with the best in the industry.

We are incredibly grateful to the families who take the time to share their experience with us on Trustpilot.

At what is often one of the most difficult times in life, words such as “caring”, “compassionate”, “supportive” and “professional” mean so much to our whole team.

Every review is a reminder of the trust families place in us, and the responsibility we have to guide them with care, dignity and attention to detail.

Thank you to every family who has shared their kind words. We never take them for granted.

There are still a few places available on our upcoming Link Bereavement Course.

Grief can feel isolating, but having a safe space to talk, listen and feel understood can make a real difference.

Our complimentary five-week course is designed to gently support people after the death of someone close. Held in a small group at our Reading Head Office, the course offers time to explore grief, share experiences and connect with others who may be feeling something similar.

The course is suitable for those who are around 3 to 6 months after a bereavement, or later, when they feel ready.

To find out more or apply for a place, please visit:

Or call us on 0118 957 3650.
