“I want to thank Walker Mortuary on behalf of my son passing. They were awesome to us from the very beginning to the end. They showed compassion, patience, and kindness. Frank was the best as was Ester and all we dealt with. They let me cry and offered tissues, smiles and hugs. Very knowledgeable about the whole process. Made sure the honor guard was ready even though we had to wait for the airplane. They still call us to make sure we are doing the best we can and if we need anything else. Best mortuary ever.”
