Title

We strive to deliver a first class service, one which would only be acceptable to a member of our own family. We believe, maintaining this strong ethos through our staff and by training them to the highest standards of the profession, we are able to consistently deliver this service to our clients.

In 1951 the whole business was moved to this address in the centre of Plymouth, where Walter and Beryl Parson used part as the family home. Situated on the edge of the city centre, Salisbury House has retained its original character, in keeping with its surroundings and also houses our School of Funeral Directing.

Vikki Macneill, Emma Hunter, and David Parslow are the resident Funeral Directors at the St Judes and Plymstock offices, and are always on hand to offer advice with no obligation.

Our St Judes office serves Plymouth City Centre, Peverell, Mannamead, Hartley, Efford, Stoke, Devonport, Keyham, Milehouse and the surrounding areas.

Huge gratitude for the professionalism, caring attitude and efficiency of the Walter C Parsons team in Plymouth.
A special mention for Emma who dealt with us brilliantly all the way through from our first contact. She kept us fully informed and made sure everything was in place very quickly despite the arrangements having to be made across the New Year break and a 250 mile distance between us. The choice of Celebrant to lead our ceremony was perfect.
We would highly recommend the company, your loved ones will be in very safe hands.

Walter.C.Parsons are a professional and excellent funeral directors. They guided me with compassion from beginning to end and took care of everything. They buried my beloved wife with the utmost respect and dignity, and I can't thank them enough.
Great people and great company.

A dear friend of mine died suddenly and I am so glad that I got in touch with Walter C. Parson Funeral Directors. They were the only one out of the four that I called able to help me immediately with issues that I faced. Then when I met the funeral director he put my mind at ease. He was able to help so much in designing a funeral around the character that my friend was. Everything on the day of the funeral was perfect, I cannot praise them enough. Thankyou to all the team at the St Judes Branch. You were brilliant

David Parslow and his team were magnificent in organising my late wife's funeral. It was a traumatic time for my family and I but David and the team handled everything with great sensitivity and experience. Highly recommended.

Walter C Parson were excellent in handling all aspects of my husband's funeral. In a time when I wasn't thinking straight they took the pressure away and all of my worries out of my hands. They suggested a number of different options for my daughters and I to consider. From the time I left my house for the funeral everything went smoothly and they lead and guided me. I have since recommended them to lots of people and I will continue to do so.
