Elizabeth Walker

Owner

When I retired from UNC and joined my husband, Allen Walker, Jr. at the funeral home, I began a journey that has been amazing and challenging beyond words. When Allen died suddenly, I was overwhelmed but committed to maintaining the company and serving the communities – our neighbors. And to this day, I am proud to affirm that Walker's Funeral Home continues to be dedicated to giving the best and most compassionate service. "Our Family Serving Your Family since 1922" says it all.
