    This was the second time that William Gilchrist has arranged a funeral for our family and we were again very pleased with the kind, helpful and professional standard of care shown to all the family. We had the pleasure of meeting up with Karen Fraser, who helped us with the funeral of our mum almost 3 years ago. She was very compassionate in all areas. Thank you to Colin on the day of the funeral, everything went smoothly and was perfect.

Stiubhart’s delivery of the funeral service was superb.

    The service provided by Karen at WM Gilchrist has been perfect, she has been caring and professional all throughout. We couldn't have asked for a better funeral director to guide us through the process of arranging my mums funeral. She is a huge credit the company. We had a brief dealing with Colin too and he was also kind, caring and professional. Thank you for making this hard time just that little bit easier.

  • 5 Graeme Reid 10th Feb 2023

    Totally professional in arranging all aspects of the funeral. Service went off seamlessly and Colin looked after us with warmth and respect. Karen who made the arrangements was warm and caring and made all points of the funeral arrangements seem easy and removed all stress from the family. My father couldn't have been in better hands.

    Thank you to everyone who looked after Mum.

  • 5 Alexander Angus 16th Jan 2023

    Wm. Gilchrist cannot be faulted for the services received in honouring the memory of my late and eldest sister, Gill Smith. The arrangements were made with a minimum of upset and the humanist  service was conducted in a sincere and compassionate manner.
    The chapel at Kaimhill was a lovely space for family and friends to gather in remembrance. Many thanks to Karen and her dedicated team, for a memorable day that Gill would have been very happy with. May she now rest in peace. Thank you 🙏🏻
