We can’t thank you enough for all the work you all put in, it was 1st class. You also helped us through difficult and upsetting times with all the professionalism. Everything was perfectly done. The young lass Laura was an absolute gem, but as we say everyone got 10/10. Many Many thanks.

    All parts of this difficult process were handled with sympathy and discretion. I must commend Laura Wood, who was outstanding. Laura showed a caring and compassionate approach and excellent people skills. Laura made everything “ bearable “ and went out of her way to help….thank you, Eileen,Gavin and Alistair Mitchell.

    I cannot speak highly enough about the service we received from Wm Gilchrist Funeral Care in Aberdeen, particularly from Steven McNally. His care, compassion and attention to detail are excellent. At such an emotionally difficult time with so many things to think about, it was comforting to know that everything was taken care of by Steven. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Ultimately, we were delighted with how the funeral service went.

  • 5 Ron Livingstone 3rd May 2022

    Should mention that I know personally, the Undertaker who looked after things for my family. Having said that, the service provided by him and all who assisted him was impeccable. It was mostly conducted by phone and online since my son and I were isolating in the early stages of planning.
    When we were able to visit the premises to view the body, the ladies who assisted were courteous and helpful. At the funeral itself, Alex (the lady who chauffeured us) and the other assistant were also courteous and most helpful.
