  • 5 Isobel Stewart 12th Feb 2024

    Karen and the team made a difficult time as easy as it could be, dealing with the entire family (my mum, brother, our partners and myself - his daughter) with the utmost sensitivity and tact. From initial consultation to viewing my father’s body period to the funeral, to the funeral itself, Karen made it as straightforward as it could be for us. I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others and am extremely grateful for their care. 

  • 5 George Kemp 29th Jan 2024

    No problems at all and everything arranged very efficiently

  • 5 Gary Watt 29th Jan 2024

    From the initial enquiry relating to my fathers repatriation, Karen was Professional, Knowledgeable, Caring and Helpful.

    From the Start of the repatriation process, Karen communicated regularly which provided a sense of comfort knowing my fathers current situation. Karen started arranging the specifics in advance of my dad arriving home, which certainly made the the process easier.

    Karen was outstanding and went over and above in my opinion, arranging meetings to fit with people dialling in from different time zones. When my Father was returned home, Karen contacted immediately to reassure my family, he was in their care and ensured he would be looked after. During the time my Father was in their care, Karen again demonstrated her appreciated commitment by arranging certain things which on an occasion, it appeared she was actually in her own time.

    Karen's advice and arrangements for the service were valued by my family and contributed immensely to ensure my dad received the best send off my family and friends could have wished for. I also have to praise Karen for responding to a request that ensured my fathers ashes were returned quicker than expected, which guaranteed part of him returning to a country and place he adored.

    I would like to Thanks Karen and her Team at Walter Johnston & Sons for their exceptional professionalism during the service. Their conduct ensured my family were put at ease during the challenging time.

    I absolutely recommend Walter Johnston and Sons and a particular mention to Karen who was outstanding.

    Linda was very helpful in assisting us when we were making arrangements for my mums funeral. Karen and the drivers took great care of us on the day of the funeral. It was a difficult day but having such a organised and professional team with us was very reassuring. Many thanks to them all.

  • 5 Douglas Smith 15th Jan 2024

  • 5 Christine Thompson 4th Jan 2024

    From the initial phone call to the final car journey to the tea afterwards, I can honestly say that the team did phenomenally. It all went smoothly and everyone we dealt with (big thanks to Susan, Linda and Karen) was so caring and professional. 

  • 5 Veronica McAdam 3rd Jan 2024

    My family and I found all the staff at Walter Johnston and Sons Funeralcare, Renfrew, to be caring, approachable and very professional. Susan and Linda assisted greatly by keeping us informed at each stage of the arrangements for my brother Peter. The staff who assisted at the services, Pamela, Karen and Ailish, were also found to be kind, caring and professional and made a very difficult time more bearable by ensuring everyone knew what to do and when.

  • 5 Kimberly Shearer 2nd Jan 2024

  • 5 Angela Lees 2nd Jan 2024

    Karen and staff were extremely kind and caring. 
    The level of service I reviewed was outstanding. 
    The extra care and respect to detail on Andrews day went above and beyond. 
    Karen helped made this experience less distressing but was a support to me during h and after. With genuine care compassion and her words bringing me comfort.

    Thank you

  • 5 Dianne McAtear 11th Dec 2023

    Always have used Walter Johnson for all family passed previously and as usual they didn't let us down. Courteous and sympathetic. No hard sell and when I changed something a couple of days after appointing them it was no trouble for them to do. Very good service.

  • 5 Craig Willison 5th Dec 2023

    I am more than happy with the service provided both in the pre organisation and on the day itself.....made a sad time easier and thank you

  • 5 Robert Airlie 22nd Nov 2023

    Thanks to all the staff especially Andrew who was Funeral Director on the day, also Tony who was our driver, both were very professional and very considerate in our time of grief. As we're Linda and Susan. Many thanks to all.

  • 5 Mhairi McCormack 21st Nov 2023

    We suffered a terribly tragic bereavement and chose Walter Johnston as our funeral directors because my family has always used them. Right from the start of all the ladies couldn’t have done any more for us. They were so understanding and kind. It was a difficult situation that none of us have navigated before but they kept us informed at every stage. They were so empathetic it made me feel at ease dealing with everything. Nothing was too much trouble. Pamela, Susan, Linda and Kelly the driver were all excellent at what they do and made the worst time in our lives slightly more bearable. 

  • 5 Elizabeth Brines 8th Nov 2023

    very nice helpful caring staff could not have been any more helpful to myself and my family at this very sad time

  • 5 Lorraine Santangeli 8th Nov 2023

    The way my Partner Thomas's Funeral was conducted on the day was very respectful. The Funeral Director on the day called me in the morning which i thought was a lovely touch and the way she walked in front of the Hearse to the top of the road was particularly moving to me. I was treated very well when organising Thomas's Funeral as both our families were when we went to view Thomas in the Funeral Parlour. My family have always used Walter Johnstone because of their high standards.

  • 5 David Fisher 8th Nov 2023

    The whole process was done in a compassionate and professional manner by all concerned with great respect for this difficult time of my life.

  • 5 Doreen Tighe 17th Oct 2023

    Walter Johnson and Sons provided a professional and caring service for my father on his death. Their support in the planning and organising of his funeral was invaluable in assisting us in preparing for his funeral. The funeral directors support on the day of the funeral made a difficult day more bearable. Our sincere thanks for your service.

  • 5 Alan Jamieson 16th Oct 2023

    I was very happy with the care and support given to me through this sad time, Pamela talked me through everything in a very professional, without her help I didn’t know what way to go, and the service itself was exactly what I wanted
