Karen guided us through the process of arranging my dad's funeral in such a personal manner. Every step was explained making our decision making simple. Colin the funeral director and his team took care of everything on the day of the funeral so respectfully and professionally. Our family would like to thank them all for looking after Dad. I would highly recommend Wm Gilchrist Funeral care.

    Brilliant service from them.  Cannot thank Karen, Colin and the rest of the team enough, especially Karen, for the care and compassion shown to myself and the family.  It is obviously a horrendous time for anyone to go through but I felt totally at ease with Karen from the first moment and I truly appreciate the attention given to my husband whilst he was under their care until his funeral.  I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.  Maggie Pirie

    This was the second time that William Gilchrist has arranged a funeral for our family and we were again very pleased with the kind, helpful and professional standard of care shown to all the family. We had the pleasure of meeting up with Karen Fraser, who helped us with the funeral of our mum almost 3 years ago. She was very compassionate in all areas. Thank you to Colin on the day of the funeral, everything went smoothly and was perfect.
