    Using Davie and his team for a second time and again they go over and above to make a difficult time just that bit easier. Amazing service from start to finish ensuring my dad got the best send off he deserved.

  • 5 Aimee Boland 13th Nov 2023

    I couldn’t thank David and the team at Glasgow independent funeral directors enough, the care and support they offered our family when loosing our dad especially it being our first ever loss was next to none and will never be forgotten, the service they provided was beyond expectations and the care they provided for my dad at the end was exceptional. I will recommend them highly. 

  • 5 Andrew Johnston 1st Nov 2023

    David was excellent throughout the whole process and made sure a special send off was had. Would highly recommend. 

  • 5 Dylan Clark 19th Oct 2023

    When my brother passed, it took my family all by complete shock and we didn't know where to begin with the next steps of arranging a funeral and everything else that comes with it. We got in contact with Glasgow Independent Funeralcare and from then forward the process was as seamless as possible.

    Every stage of the process was explained in as much detail as we required (often several times over) and then the staff at Glasgow Independent Funeralcare took care of everything else. We were kept informed at all times and the staff were available 24/7 which was a huge support to the family at what was an extremely difficult time.

    Everything that the family requested, albeit not particularly easy to deal with requests, was catered for without any hesitation which shows that these guys will go the extra mile to give the best possible send off to a loved one.

    To all of the staff at Glasgow Independent Funeralcare, and in particular David, we'll be forever grateful for the immense support you showed our family at the most difficult of times.
