    We as a family could not praise Laura and her team enough. Laura went above and beyond to make sure my precious mum had the beautiful send off she deserved. Nothing was too much trouble for Laura, she put us at ease from the first moment we met her. She takes her position very seriously which shines through with her professionalism, compassion and making us as a family feel we were her number one priority. Laura kept us updated with everything regarding the arrangements and even contacted us just to make sure we were ok. Laura is a credit to your company and amazing at her job.

    Laura was my funeral director, she has been supportive and understanding all the way through leading up to my dads funeral, the help and advice/guidance I received over the phone and by email as I live near London and trying to arrange a funeral wasn’t easy, she made it easier for me. Would like to thank all at WM Gilchrist but especially Julie, Derek and Laura. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart, for the advice and work all of you put in, to make his last day Rememberable.

    Very good and caring and thoughtful and could take as long as I wanted when I was going in to see my wife. Time was no object for them. They are well organised when it comes to the funeral day. Also they try there utmost to keep costs down to a minimum. And very friendly people couldn’t do enough for you very good at keeping you up to date as to what’s happening. If I was ever in that situation again I would use them 100%
