We are one of the very few truly independent Funeral directors on the Isle of Wight. Throughout our years of serving the bereaved we have earned the trust of the local community that is so important at such a difficult time. At a time of loss, it is important to know that a caring and respectful Funeral service is available.
We are truly humbled to receive such wonderful letters & cards of thanks from our families and have a selected just a few of them for you. Meeting Paula & Paul was an incredible gift for me, these wonderful sincere lovely people treated me with such kindness and love.
I was able to share with them my thoughts and feelings, I was able to talk about my lovely Brian or Bri as I affectionately called him, and his incredible sense of humour and the lovely, kind and caring person he is, I say is because that's how I see him.Brian was treated with the utmost respect and dignity, tender care and a wonderful attention to detail.

If you are not expecting a large amount of mourners and would prefer a more intimate and personal service then we are able to provide this. Having to think about your own funeral arrangements can be an uncomfortable thing to do, please take a look at what plans we provide. There are often occasions when, for reasons of practical necessity or choice, a funeral service must be a simple one.
Having to discuss your own funeral arrangements is not something that everybody wants to talk about, we understand that. Thoughtful preplanning can secure not only your own peace of mind, but that extra bit of comfort and reassurance for your family that you will receive the funeral you want and deserve.
There are often occasions when, for reasons of practical necessity or choice, a funeral service must be a simple one and it is not appropriate for mourners to be in attendance. Our Simple Direct Cremation service offers a direct transfer of the deceased person from our private Chapels of Rest to their final resting place at a time and date which compliments our diary.

There are no words enough that express our heartfelt thanks .
My first contact was emotional and difficult but Paula made me feel so at ease .She was patient, kind and understanding . She wanted to listen to me and get to know about my beautiful mum that we had so suddenly lost .
My brother and I were treated with care , concern and attention at all times . They made the entire process of making difficult decisions easier and we were not rushed at any time .
Due to the circumstances the funeral was delayed a while and yet we were given absolute reassurance that our Mum was in the best care

From our first phone contact Paula made it clear that she and her team would do everything they could to look after both my mum and me at what was obviously a difficult time. She was good to her word. She was professional, empathetic and immensely helpful. I would like to thank everyone at P. Walsh for helping me ensure my mum received the send off she wanted and deserved. I highly recommend this family run business, they will look after your loved one and you.

Losing a loved one in itself is a great time of grieving, arranging a funeral and making so many important decisions is emotionally draining and stressful, but having made my first job to select a Funeral Director the burden was lifted and the support fantastic from the onset. A big and sincere Thank You to Paul & Paula Walsh of Paul Walsh Independent Family Funeral Directors, 70 Wilton Park Rd, Shanklin, PO37 7BU. The devotion shown to us was invaluable, efficient, and highly personal. I recognise your compassion, thoughtfulness and truly fantastic support. More people should know about your services
