  • 5 Ian Shaw 4th Apr 2022

    Bryan, Shirley, Stacy, Raab and the rest of the team were amazing. Sadly I had to arrange a double funeral - they help all the way.

  • 5 Aileen Turnbull 21st Mar 2022

    William Black provided a very good service regarding my late aunt . The funeral was faultless and their response to any queries was immediate. They were extremely helpful as I don’t live locally , they were always  available at the end of the phone if required 
    Special mention to Shirley , I turned up without prior notice and she made me feel nothing was to much bother .

  • 3 Hamish Reid 28th Feb 2022

    We were both distressed and offended at the initial interview on the day of my mother’s death to be forced to sign a disclaimer allowing the undertaker to dispose of my mothers ashes should we fail to pick them up on time . This was badly handled and caused us distress . We also felt that far too much emphasis was placed on obtaining a ‘ credit history ‘ at the initial interview . I suggest that centrally driven protocols and processes be reviewed . Otherwise we were happy with services provided.

    The service we were given by William Black Funeralcare of Brechin was excellent. Their staff are all highly competent in their roles but, more than that, they were all friendly, understanding, helpful and kind in their dealings with us. They made a really difficult time for us easier to bear.
