    From the very first contact Jen was kind and compassionate, making sure we were all ok and organising everything the way we wanted it for mum. Ray was the same on the day of the funeral, guiding us through what was a difficult day. Highly recommend Wm Gilchrist at Bucksburn.

  • 5 Neil Mckerron 13th Dec 2022

    Dedicated, compassionate, professional and genuine - nothing was too much of a problem for Jen and Ray who were extremely helpful and supportive throughout the entire process. The facilities and service were exceptional-thank you so much, you did a fantastic job and made a real difference during an incredibly difficult time in our lives. Above all, thank you for the respect and dignity that you showed ,without exception, to our beloved family member. 

  • 2 Jacqueline Scott 7th Dec 2022

    The staff were professional but I had to wait from the 5th November until the 10th of November for a wooden coffin with a cost of my mother lying in your establishment of over £1000.00 
    I find this cost unfair as this was not due to any fault of mine or my family as we wanted my mother home to rest as soon as possible 
    Stephen kept his word and my mother was brought home at 8.30 pm on the 10th of November 
    I had to get Laura (I think that was her name )to come to the house the next day to do my mothers hair and makeup she did an amazing job but my mother was sent home to rest not looking too good
    I would like to thank the staff involved with my mothers passing

    Wm. Gilchrist handled all the arrangements on our behalf and we were very comforted by the way everything went. Very professional and considerate.

  • 5 Scott Robertson 20th Sep 2022

    The service that I received for my Mother Patricia Robertson was absolutely superb, I couldn't fault them. Jennifer was brilliant, her attention to detail and willingness to help, was fantastic. I have to say that, at that time when you are at your lowest, it is a huge burden lifted, knowing that everything is being taken care of by people who know what they are doing, and genuinely care both about the customer and the deceased....
    Thank you again.
    Scott Robertson

  • 5 Alison Sim 12th Sep 2022

    Can’t thank Jennifer and Laura enough for everything they did.    They were both fantastic caring as well as being professional.   I will recommend their services to everyone.    Thanks again Alison and Sarah
