The service we received was outstanding the respect and patience they showed my family was outstanding. My dad was very ill before he passed and when we went to see him in the beautiful parlour they have he was like his old self. We as a family can not praise this company enough for making the hardest time in our life's go so smoothly and respectfully.

Excellent  from the very start, very helpful, they organised a lot which was a weight off for the family. The full day went beautifully my Granda got the best send off and that thanks to the team at Glasgow independent funeralcare.
