A.B. Walker & Son has served Henley-on-Thames and the surrounding Oxfordshire area since 1826, when the business was founded by Benjamin Dunn before passing to Alfred Blyth Walker in 1882. The firm has remained in the Walker family for five generations, now led by Julian Walker, with his wife Nicola Kirk, a practising solicitor, serving as a non-executive director.
With over 200 years of experience and nine branches across Berkshire and Oxfordshire - including Bracknell, Caversham, Maidenhead, Reading, Thatcham, Tilehurst, Wokingham and Woodley alongside Henley - A.B. Walker offers traditional, direct, burial and green/natural funeral options, memorial masonry including new stones, repairs and grave tending, and an online store for ashes urns and memorial jewellery. Bereavement support and in-memory giving through the Memory Giving platform round out the family's offering.
The firm has also committed to environmental sustainability, operating as carbon neutral with a stated target of reaching net zero emissions by 2026, and combines that modern outlook with genuinely personal, round-the-clock support and transparent, no-hidden-fees pricing.
