  • 5 Arthur Rose 14th Feb 2023

    The service from David at Glasgow Independent Funeralcare was excellent and I can't praise it highly enough. It was a real comfort at a very difficult time to have someone to offer assistance and guidance at every aspect from the outset through to the funeral itself.

    I couldn't fault anything David or his team did and felt that they went above and beyond at every step and my thanks go out to them for all the help and support they gave.

  • 5 Avril McIvor 12th Dec 2022

    We can not express fully how amazing David and his team are words are just not enough.  Their care and attention to detail with compassion is second to none.   We were petrified at the thought of the process of arranging our beautiful nieces funeral having never had any experience of this.  David walked us through it all step by step and made a most difficult journey easier.   
    We felt cared for as a family, confident that our nieces wishes had been respected and all done with a calm and ease manner that we needed 
    Our biggest compliment is that my partner and I are signing up to have David and his amazing team look after us in the future when our time comes.  
    Thank you David and team you brought us peace, focus and humour at a time when we felt we were in the eye of a horrible storm which was battering us at all ends

They made everything effortless at such a hard time.

Thanks again.

The funeral survive was  so perfect, thanks to David, I cannot recommend him highly enough, he truly was a godsend to both me and my family during our time of grief

  • 5 Sandra McInnes 29th Jun 2022

    I would definitely recommend . Craig made the whole process very easy at a very difficult time . I left with a check list on what I had to do which helped a lot . On the day of the funeral the empathy that they showed to me and my family was second to none . 

  • 5 Lynne Dill 24th Jun 2022

    Honestly the best service.
    You can tell David actually cares and it's not just about making money.
    We hired him for my dad's Funeral and because of his service all my family are changing their plans over to use them.
    It's sad to think of the future Funeral plans but if I was to go with these guys I honestly know I would be happy and in safe hands. (I know I probably would need to be safe hands at that point but you know what I mean 😅)

    Side note. David made my 4 year old son feel very special waking with him at the front.
    It was very lovely and emotional for us all "in a good way" wish I could upload a photo to show the moment.
