“So I am finally ready to talk about the absolutely amazing customer service and care my family and I received from Walker's Mortuary, LLC when laying my big brother John Boykin to rest. My brother was killed in Tulsa Oklahoma so his body had to be transported back home and Tulsa was slooooowwww. Synetra Deloach, the director was so extremely patient with constant follow up and tracking of what they were doing. Her kind spirit and beautiful smile was so comforting and warm to us every step of the way. When my brother came home, Walkers had to take care of him and when I tell you it look like my brother was asleep in his casket. He looked EXACTLY like himself. My family and I am extremely thankful we chose them. Thank you Walkers for your love and care for us. We really appreciate you! - THOMASENIA BLAND”
