    We as a family found the staff at both the Erskine office and Lady Lane in Paisley we’re very respectful and helpful in helping us with all of the arrangements.Andrew at Erskine was particularly kind and helpful with all the necessary forms and arranging the celebrant for the service. On the day of the funeral everything went as planned. Since that day we have had many kind remarks on how well the service reflected our late mother.
