The Leam Lane funeral home is led by funeral director Samantha Rutherford, who is supported by colleagues Nicola Lynn and Natalie Holywell from other Walker & Morrell locations. In addition to its new Leam Lane branch, Walker & Morrell operates funeral homes in Washington and on Old Durham Road in Gateshead.
