    Rohna was amazing and very helpful at organising and arranging my dad's sudden funeral couldn't fault her at all But tht where the good Ends my Dad's PHOTO was "forgotten " by a Paul
    Which was xpressed several !times before the funeral that it was to be placed on the coffin
    The herse pulled up outside our home n the men didn't even greet us and when we got to the crematorium and the coffin bearers where asked to come out to bring the coffin in the men there where very formal In tone and completely rushed us to get the coffin in and when the curtains closed the staff couldn't get our family and friends out of the crematorium quick enough.

    Rona and Pamela's professionalism and kindness when arranging my Mother's funeral helped us through a difficult time. They really are a credit to Walter Johnston and Sons.

  • 5 Colin Knox 27th Nov 2023

    A very professional and personal service was given. Your staff took their time to go through all the options available to us and allowed us the time we needed to discuss as a family what we wanted. Your staff were understanding and patient with us. The care we and my late mum were given was excellent and my thanks to them for ensuring mum was well looked after while in their care until the funeral, allowing us to visit her in the undertakers when we wanted right up until the day of the funeral. The day of the funeral was very well organised by the undertaker staff and we as a family were grateful for their respect, care and professionalism throughout the whole process. Throughout they kept us informed of the process from our first visit to them right through to collecting mum's ashes.
    Thank you .
