Situated at the end of Costly Street, and beside the town hall, this office was opened in 1989 to serve the people of Ivybridge and the wider South Devon area. Our resident Funeral Directors Keith Peacock and Shaun Harrison are always on hand to help and guide you through required procedures.

At our Ivybridge office we offer local direct cremation, competitively priced simple funerals and completely personalised traditional funeral services. Fully guaranteed pre-paid funeral plans are also available.

A big thank you to Walter Parsons ( Ivybridge) Sarah, Sharon ,Shaun and the rest of the staff for taking care of us from day one and for looking after Uncle George on his final journey. Everything went like clockwork and we were very pleased with the whole very caring and compassionate process. Lovely service thank you Tricia Stringer for that. Would certainly recomend Ivybridge branch.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a review. I am so pleased that everything went as smoothly as possible at such a difficult time. I have passed a copy of your review on to Sarah, Sharon, Shaun and their team with my very grateful thanks. Best wishes John Ware Managing Director

Walter Parsons were absolutely amazing. They did my Dad proud when arranging and conducting his funeral. And they took such great care of him. They looked after me, my brother and my Mum. And made what was a painful and emotional time that little bit easier. And that is all we could have asked for. From start to finish they were caring, compassionate, thoughtful and professional. And the day of the funeral went as perfectly as we could have wished for. I highly recommend them. I would like to give special thanks to Shaun and Sharon who are both wonderful people and were so nice, kind and guided me through everything from start to finish and also after the event. Going above and beyond. And I would also like to thank Jonathan Shaddock who conducted the service for us at Walter Parson’s request. He was also wonderful.
Response from the owner:Dear Mr Ridgway, Thank you for taking the time to write with such kind comments about the team here at Walter C. Parson. I am so pleased that you felt everything went as smoothly as possible and the service you were provided was of the highest possible standard. My Great-Grandfather would be extremely proud. I have passed your comments on to Shaun and Sharon with my very grateful thanks. May I, on behalf of the Company express my thanks again for leaving us such a fantastic Google review. With very best wishes, John Ware Managing Director
