    The service provided by David & his team from start to finish was absolutely impeccable. We couldn't have asked for anything more, down to every last detail and the care, compassion and respect shown at the parlour and outwith.
    David even took the time out of his personal time to come to the house several times to finalise details.
    We cannot thank you enough for giving my nanna the send off she deserved.
    Thank you so much, for everything

    I honestly cannot thank David enough for the help and support for my husband’s funeral. David was very professional from the get-go and went above and beyond on our requests. The family have previously used David’s services for my sister’s funeral in 2023 and I felt very comfortable to make contact again for my Husband. Even coordinating 9 porsche 911s to follow / lead the funeral cars. I am not one to write long reviews but just know that I am incredibly grateful for everything. Thank you so so much.

    We cannot thank David and his team at Glasgow Independent Funeralcare enough for the service provided.

    From the initial telephone call, to the funeral service of my Mother in law, David took care of everything. The empathy and care shown throughout, made a difficult time a lot easier. David and his staff go above and beyond and we will be forever grateful for the care, professionalism and support provided in ensuring the best personal tribute to her life.

  • 5 Margaret McMahon 17th Sep 2024

    On the passing of Mum, David gave his all. He treated Mum with dignity and respect from the first telephone call to her final moments at the cremation.
    He was always at the end of the telephone phone to answer any questions we had. It made a very difficult time bearable with his support. He listened and took an interest in the person Mum was. Nothing was too much trouble.
    David and his team gave a 5 star service for which we will always be grateful for.
