From the moment I contacted Scotmid the professionalism was excellent. Very respectful to the family but most importantly very respectful to the person that has passed. They made it a very easy process, especially in these difficult times. They carry out the wishes of the family too the letter and for this I am grateful. I would certainly recommend them.

Excellent and very professional service, the whole team from start to finish could not have done more in this difficult time. The webcam allowed the extended family to watch (this included family In Australia & Canada) and should definitely be extended after lockdown is lifted. I would like to single out Susan McGlame for special praise as she was the main point of contact and was a great comfort at such a difficult time. Again, a big thank you to the whole team.

    You all went above and beyond to make it as near as possible to a normal service. considering the situation we are in with this virus running rife.
    Your staff and the Celebrant did amazingly well.

    We dealt with Candice for the arrangements and all was handled respectfully and professionally. Current Covid arrangements were explained and the plan was executed excellently by Christine and her team on the day. Our Dad was comforted and looked after as principal mourner at our Mum's funeral. A big thanks from the family.

    A wonderful and understanding team. They provided supporting and caring services right from the first time we contacted them which made it so much easier for the family at this very sad time.

  • 5 Richard Tipping 11th Feb 2020

    The team at Scotmid (Forrester Park) were so helpful at what was a difficult time. Their support and guidance from first meeting to the ceremony, and afterwards, was excellent. I cannot thank them enough for supporting me and the family to celebrate Kath's life in way we wanted.

  • 5 Janine Christie 30th Jan 2020

    My Dad and I received an excellent service from Susan and the team. It made arranging my Mums funeral a much less difficult experience than we imagined and everything was carried out to the highest standard. A kind phone call the day before the funeral alleviated all our last minute worries. We would highly recommend Scotmid Forrester and would like to thank you very much for all your help.

  • 5 McCombie Lesley 28th Jan 2020

    We found Scotmid Funeral services gave us an excellent service. They dealt with everything with compassion. We would like to thank Candice for her caring manner and Danielle as they both helped us through a difficult time with my father's funeral.

    Thank You .

  • 5 George Birrell 21st Jan 2020

    The organisation of my mother’s funeral was absolutely superb. From the moment I contacted Scotmid Funerals until the last mourner left the cemetery their professionalism  was supreme. They covered every detail in a relaxed and sympathetic manner and offered advice and guidance on every aspect. Everything was covered down to the last detail and what I thought would be a strenuous and difficult exercise turned out to be simplicity itself. Susan, whom I dealt with from the beginning, to Richard, who was the funeral director on the day of the burial, covered everything,and every eventuality, down to the smallest detail. This was Alpha plus service of the highest calibre. It was so good those who attended thanked me for putting on such a good show and I, of course, shamelessly took the credit when it really lies with the Scotmid team.  Thank you.

    I would highly recommend the services of scotmid to all. We as a family have had 4 funerals done by scotmid in the last 2 years and every time they have been exceptional the level of service and care has been outstanding. Darren and his team made such a difficult time in our family life that little bit easier due to their care and professional attitude. We could not thank them enough. 

  • 5 Claire Gardiner 20th Jan 2020

    The staff did everything in their power fulfill our wishes to farewell our Mum. Everything was fone to the highest standard. The staff were lovely, polite and courteous making us feel at ease and able to cope with our grief at this difficult time. Susan is a wonderful, caring person, couldn't have asked for a better person to guide us through the process. Ian on the day was caring and respectful to our Mum and ourselves. Phillip who was unfortunately sick on the was kind and led us through process the day before. All in all would recommend this company to anyone.

    They were a great help in a time like this. They were able to take a lot of the pressure and stresses of planning etc. out of the equation and advice what to do, then take the lead and do it for you. Thank you very much for your help!

  • 5 Scott Sneddon 4th Jan 2020

    The service we received was excellent especially Christine on  the day of the funeral. She made sure my mother was fully aware that she could make her own decisions and that everything would revolve around my mothers wants. Christine made us felt at ease during the day.
