  • 5 Jolene Stewart 6th Apr 2026

    We cannot thank Stephen McCosh Funeral Directors enough for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed during one of the most difficult times in our lives following the loss of our father.




    From our very first contact, Stephen, Mark, and Gina treated us with genuine kindness, patience, and respect. Every detail was handled with sensitivity and dignity, allowing us the space to grieve while knowing everything was in safe and capable hands. They guided us through each step of the process clearly and thoughtfully, never rushing us and always ensuring our wishes were honoured.




    The service itself was beautifully arranged and a true reflection of our father’s life. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile made a lasting impression on our whole family.




    We are deeply grateful for their support and would highly recommend Stephen McCosh Funeral Directors to anyone in need of a compassionate and professional funeral service. Their care made an incredibly difficult time just a little more bearable, and for that, we will always be thankful.

  • 5 Claire Morehead 29th Mar 2026

    A huge thank you to Gina, Marcus, Thomas and every other person at Stephen McCosh who helped in making my dad's funeral as easy as possible for my family. My father passed very suddenly, without any plans for his burial in place. From the initial phonecall, they immediately made me feel at ease, advising me of every step that I needed to take while McCosh's handled everything else smoothly and respectfully, nothing was too much trouble. I have recommended Stephen McCosh to others and can sincerely say they allowed me and my family to give my father a peaceful and dignified burial.

  • 5 David Smith 14th Mar 2026

    Stephen McCosh funeral directors are truly remarkable people. My father passed away unexpectedly and they were incredibly helpful. They also showed immense compassion for my mum, sisters and nephew Linda and Gina. The undertakers were unbelievable and the pastor was a lovely person who made the house service perfect. The crematorium service was fantastic too. 

    Thankyou for everything 
    David.

  • 5 Kirsty Cusick 25th Feb 2026

    We cannot thank Mccosh Funeral Directors enough for the care, compassion, and professionalism they showed our family during such a difficult time. From our very first conversation, they treated us with genuine kindness and respect, guiding us gently through every step of the process.




    Their attention to detail was exceptional, and nothing ever felt rushed or transactional. They took the time to listen to our wishes, offered thoughtful guidance when we needed it most, and ensured that everything was carried out with dignity and grace. The service itself was beautifully organised — a true reflection of our loved one and a comfort to everyone who attended.




    What truly sets Mccosh apart is their warmth. At a time when emotions are overwhelming, they provided steady reassurance and handled every aspect with sensitivity and care. We felt supported throughout, and that meant more than words can say.




    We are deeply grateful and would wholeheartedly recommend Mccosh to anyone looking for a funeral director who combines professionalism with genuine human compassion.
