The Story of A B Walker Funeral Directors in their 200th year
Hear about the family and the profession & the challenges of the moment
-
A B Walker is a seventh-generation business, and has been in the Walker family for five generations. Started by Mr Benjamin Dunn in 1826, it was passed to his grandson-in-law Alfred Blyth Walker in 1882, and has remained in the family ever since. The current owner is Julian Walker TD DL.
Julian will talk to us about the history of A B Walker – the family and the profession, including a review of the funeral profession, the challenges of the moment and some of his memories of 30 years of funerals.
Julian’s grandparents were active members of Reading Civic Society for around twenty years.
This is a one off talk created for the Society.
Whilst the event is organised for Reading Civic Society members it is open to all. Donations of £5 per head from non-members are requested on entry.
There is no need to book.
