My Family and I cant thank David and his staff enough, they made what was a very traumatic time a whole lot easier for us every step of the way. David was honest and did not try to ...  sell or recommend stuff for his own personal gain. He treated my family with the up most respect and dignity and carried out our wishes to give my dad the best possible send off we could have asked for. We would highly recommend Glasgow independent funeral care. Thanks again for everything. more

    Couldn’t have asked anymore from David and Craig, first class care of my Dad from the moment he was taken into their care. All arrangements taken care of with the minimum of fuss and nothing was too much trouble for them. Both guys interacted fantastically with family and friends and were very welcoming at all times and they went out their way to ensure everything went smoothly in the build up and on the day of my Dads funeral.  

    I would highly recommend Glasgow Independent Funeralcare, you won’t be disappointed.
