We have never had to organise a funeral before and where nervous going in linzi made us feel very welcome it was if you where talking to a friend nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff .Scott and Kyle where very respectful when they brought my father's body home and on day of funeral we couldn't of asked for any better .the staff kept us informed of what was happening every step of the way Thank you all for your support

Laura Williams 8th Feb 2020

Our mum passed away under tragic circumstances and had quite bad wounds and bruising due to her fall and surgery - Scott was nothing short of amazing in fixing her up and i can’t tell you what it meant to us to remember her like that rather than when she passed in hospital. On the day Stephen and his staff were nothing short of amazing so gentle and considerate with the family and everything so professional and dignified while maintaining a personal touch. 

Linda Pollock 8th Feb 2020

Excellent service, very sensitive to our wishes, gentle and caring and no sense on our part that this was a profit-making Company! Highly recommend McCosh and will not hesitate to avail ourselves of their services in the future. We cannot speak highly enough of the staff. Our heartfelt thanks to all of them.
