    Paula and the entire team at G. Burgess & Son Funeralcare in Ellon, provided us with a highly professional yet extremely caring service. Their professionalism significantly reduced the stress caused by our sudden loss and Paula was a big part of that. She talked us through all of our options in a caring, empathic and sensitive way and I remember feeling grateful for her supportive and kind manner at such a difficult time. The funeral service itself was perfect in every way and again, everyone involved was exceptional in their care, understanding and professionalism. Many thanks to Janet Adie who arranged the Order of Service and provided a beautiful eulogy which again reflected the amazing service provided by G Burgess & Son Funeralcare. Thank you Janet, Paula and everyone at G. Burgess & Son Funeralcare for providing such an excellent service.
