Susan Rankin 29th Jun 2025

Not enough stars to express my appreciation to all at Stephen McCosh funeral directors. From 1st point of contact they were excellent, going above and beyond to help bring our mother home from Scotland. Professional from start to finish. Special thanks to Mark, our main point of contact and also Marcus and the girls in the office, nothing we asked of them as a family was a problem. Thank you from our family, a better send off we couldn't have wished for.

    Stephen McCosh handled my Mums funeral a number of years ago so I had no hesitation in going back to him for Dad's. From beginning to end everyone we dealt with were extremely respectful, courteous and professional, offering advice and guidance where needed. Following the initial meeting every arrangement we asked for was made for us, communication was fantastic, the day itself was seamless, we did not have to worry about a single element. The service we received made a difficult day so much easier. Thank you.
