Codes of Practice
Caring Attention
Care
Walter C. Parson provide a funeral service for those families who need us at a time of grief. We pride ourselves in the personal service we provide, acting professionally at all times, and conducting ourselves with sympathy and understanding.
Service
We are convinced that the service we offer is second to none, and part of our commitment is continual training to enable all of us to maintain and continually improve this high level of service. Trained staff are available 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Through our qualifications and professional associations, we have contacts throughout the United Kingdom and abroad. We have exhaustive reference points in place to assist us in satisfying the most complex of concerns.
Commitment
As part of this service and commitment, we will explain all details and at the same time give every request, however small, our full attention. We hope this will convey the commitment and integrity of each and every member of staff.
Tradition
We are proud to be Plymouth's only independent family owned and family run Funeral Directors who have built our reputation on tradition since 1842.
