I visited 3 other funeral directors and at none did I receive the the personal attention offeed by A P McDonald. I was shown into a small office, offered tea or coffee and had the whole procedure explained in detail with costs. I was give a copy of what was explained together with a brochure before I left. I was assured they were available at all times to be available and so they proved to be. They did not ask for money up front offered me an invoice for the already agreed cost within seven days of the funeral. I am very pleased with the care and attention I received and cannot recommend them too highly.

Paul and your team Words cannot express how much we want to thank you for taking such good care of us both before and at Philippa’s funeral. You were so caring and compassionate and I don’t believe we would have survived without you. You showed a concern which went above and beyond a normal duty and you shared with us in the celebration of her life. Thank you again  Jenny

  • 5 Sue Cremin 24th Mar 2021

    From the day my husband passed, I have been looked after and guided through this difficult time with care and understanding. If I needed any advice they were at my side immediately. The drivers were just as understanding and I felt I had a family assisting me not Funeral Directors. They were my guiding light.

  • 5 Elaine Petherick 3rd Mar 2021

    Paul could not have been more helpful. I felt confident and reassured all the way through from the initial meeting to the day of my father's funeral. He was professional and compassionate, nothing was too much trouble. If I had a concern or a question, Paul put my mind at ease with either a phone call or message.
    I would not hesitate in recommending A.P McDonald Funeral Services.

    Paul and Ashley were always at the end of the phone or email, very attentive, thought of the things we had forgotten or not considered, but also open to our suggestions and wishes. I hope I will not be in this position again, but if I am, they will be the funeral directors I go to.
