I would highly recommend Jill Glencross funeral services. Can I especially thank Claire for everything she did to help make a difficult time less stressful. From start to finish she has been there for both myself and mum and we will always be grateful to you all 🥰

Peter Pighills 4th Mar 2024
My father died at the great age of 98. We had heard good reports about Jill Glencross FD, and when we first met undertaker Peter Watson, we knew we were in safe hands. He had a mixture of gentle humour and respect for my father, and nothing was too much trouble. He kept in touch until the funeral, that time when you’re in limbo. The funeral itself went like clockwork. He phoned a couple of times after the funeral to make sure we were ok.
