I can’t thank Scotmid enough for all their help and support in organising the funeral for my husband, Kenny.  The flowers were beautiful and the Humanist service lead by John Jones was perfect.  Alex, our who lead the proceedings did everything to make it run as smoothly as possible.   Danielle and Richard who set everything up were great.  Everyone made an extremely difficult time go perfectly.   Thank you all so very much.

5 Peter McNamee 30th Nov 2019

I cannot give enough gratitude and praise to the Portobello branch of scotmid funeral directors, especially Gillian Harvey who dealt with myself and my brother from the outset. She helped us with all aspects of organising my mums funeral and her friendly yet professional manner made the process easier for us to deal with. Also a big thank you to the staff from scotmid who drove our cars and carried out the proceedings at both the church and crematorium. I believe Christine was the lady who led the proceedings from scotmid, she along with the rest of the staff were very smart in appearance and professional in every respect of their duties.
I cannot give higher praise, thank you to you all for making my mums funeral go so smoothly. Thank you from Peter & Eddie McNamee.

5 Kevin Falconer 20th Oct 2019

From the beginning of what is a very difficult process we were treated with the utmost dignity and respect.
We dealt with Gilian throughout and she could not have made things easier for the whole family. From ensuring the day went as planned, facilitating family viewings, organising the statutory as well as the emotional needs and the smaller details like remembering all of our names throughout the process. We were treated as valued friends, not just customers.

5 Sharon Street 12th Oct 2019

Our family would like to thank Gillian Harvey who has been absolutely wonderful. 
She guided us through everything with sympathy and quiet humour when needed it especially my father.
Nothing was too much trouble and everything went and was perfect on the day.
Many thanks to everyone involved at a very difficult time.

From the day we arranged our initial meeting with Scotmid Funeral Directors the organisation of our mum's funeral was carried out in an efficient, friendly and professional manner. We received excellent advice from Hillian Harvey and the staff on the day of the funeral carried out their duties effectively.We as  a family would have no hesitation in recommendingScotmid Funeral Directors to relatives or friends.

The welcome, help and understanding given to us really helped ease the pain of having to arrange a funeral for our dearly loved brother. Gillian was absolutely excellent and all the staff were so very professional and supportive throughout. Nothing was too much trouble and they made sure everything went way and above our expectations. Staff/team to be very proud of. Thank you again

5 Audrey Hunter 30th Jun 2019

The whole team were very professional and comforting from arranging everything until we were dropped off at the wake. They listened, offered good advice/ options. Arranged for a retired minister who was amazing. Thanks to the team we managed to create a very personal goodbye for our dad. That in itself has helped us as a family to recover from our loss. Nothing was too hard to ask and arrange. A special thank you to Gillian and Philip. These two are an asset to Scotmid! Thank you so much to the whole team.
