Annie Brown 5th Jan 2023

The service we received from the team was excellent, from the very first phone call and right through until after the funeral service. Collette Campbell was so professional and helped us so much. Michael Jackson was also very helpful and we felt that my late husband was treated with the utmost respect and dignity.

  • 5 Alexander Macdonald 4th Nov 2022

    The organisation and presentation of the entire funeral, by Alexander Bain Funeralcare, was 100% and I would certainly recommend them to others. I should like to particularly thank Collette Cambell, for her expert advice and help throughout the entire duration of planning and conducting the funeral of my wife Ann Macdonald.
