Fantastic service from start to finish. Our Funeral Director Steven McNally was caring and friendly but still very professional. The funeral itself was exactly what we wanted for mum and all our wishes were catered for to the letter.

  • 5 Edna Findlay 30th Jan 2023

    Susan and the team could not have been more helpful. My daughter and I were still coming to terms with the sudden death of my husband and Susan went through the process for arranging his funeral slowly, giving us time to think things through. There was no pressure to commit and at every stage were told to take our time. Susan replied to any queries straight away and on the day everything ran smoothly. When we were in the office, a few days after our first visit, Susan told us she had seen David (my husband) and he was very peaceful. I found this most comforting. I would definitely recommend William Gilchrist Funeralcare. Thank you for the care and compassion shown to us during this sad time.

    Excellent professional service from start to finish. Our funeral director Karen was fantastic.
