    I cannot recommend Glasgow independent funeralcare enough. From the minute I called I knew I was in good hands. The service provided was outstanding and the support from David and his team has been nothing short of amazing. They are compassionate, understanding and empathetic. The send off they helped me give my dad was beautiful. I had no clue what I was doing but David arranged everything he could and kept me updated every step of the way. Even family members commented on the excellent service provided. Hopefully I don't have another funeral to plan anytime soon but I will definitely be going with this fantastic team at Glasgow independent funeralcare.
