Excellent service received … no unnecessary extras pushed on us. Good value - well delivered!

Eric John McWilliam 12th Aug 2022

All arrangements leading up to, and on the day of the funeral were handled very well. What was disappointing was to arrive at a pre-arranged appointment to collect my late father's casket to find that the Bucksburn office was locked and in darkness. Apparently due to staff changes and duplication of arrangements by another member of staff.

David Fyvie 8th Aug 2022

I am so pleased that I went to Wm Gilchrist after the death of my wife. They arranged the funeral to perfection and I couldn’t fault anything. Special thanks to Nicole for her professionalism. She made the process easy at a very difficult time.

  • 5 Gilbert John McCallum 3rd Jan 2022

    First class service from first to last. Our Funeral Director Colin Forbes was outstanding and nothing was too much trouble. 
    Walking in front of the hearse for a bit as we left the church was a lovely touch and as my 91 year old father had forgotten his walking stick Colin gave him his staff when we got to the cemetery. 
    The final act of total caring and kindness was when at the graveside the rain came on. Colin took off his coat and put it around my dad’s shoulders as he only on his suit.
    Colin is a credit to William Gilchrist and many many thanks to you all for making the loss of our loved one as bearable as possible.

    The help and advice and follow up calls from them was exceptional.
