from the start they all were great, mum was taken good care of and for that ill be forever thankful as this was my first ever one to arrange they helped with everything, again thank you

Darren Johnston 29th Mar 2021

Honestly couldn’t have asked for a better service from start to finish. This company took on everything I asked for and done it better than I could ever  could have imagined. I’d like to thank David and the rest of his colleagues who took on my daughters funeral and done it on a personal level and made the whole process so much easier to deal with, so once again a big thank u from the johnston family for all ur care, attention to detail and looking after my daughter 

Brian Lennox 27th Mar 2021

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.
