Due to family being here from overseas for only a short period, we had to arrange the funeral of my mother very quickly. Angela and Stewart were amazing at doing all of this for us , including arranging additions such as a piper. We cannot fault the service re received. Highly recommended

Stuart and Angela were excellent from start to finish

5 Sheena Linn 11th Oct 2023

From start to finish we were treated with respect.  When in doubt they were there to help make the decision based on previous experience.  There is simply nothing they could have done better.   Even helping me to have my wish for Mum’s ashes to be buried with her wedding rings..

5 Chris Milburn 7th Oct 2023

The support and care provided by Angela and Stewart were really appreciated at a sad time for the family. Also your recommendation to use Rona Duncan as the celebrant was spot on as she was superb. Thank you

5 Aaron Bell 20th Feb 2023

The experience I received from H&W Harkess was nothing short of outstanding, this is in regards to the funeral of my late mum and this was my very first time in organising something like this. Everything from the start of myself booking the service right through to the service going ahead was completely above in beyond an extremely straightforward process I was talked through which type of service I would like and asked, never forced, or pressured into anything extra in regards to flowers or a viewing e.t.c and I also feel that I was listened to throughout and not once felt rushed or hurried. As I said above this was the first time I had ever organised a funeral and was not looking forward to doing so but the experience, care, understanding and respect I received from H&W Harkess made an extremely difficult time in my life just that very bit easier. Funerals are never something we want to think about, especially when it comes to the death of a loved one, but I can honestly and wholeheartedly recommend H&W Harkess without a single doubt.

5 Brian Laing 6th Feb 2023

5 John Waugh 12th Jan 2023

Once again I cannot fault the staff from H & W Harkess at Drum Street for their help and advice on organizing my late brothers funeral. The day of the funeral was held in terrible weather conditions and the staff help and advised the guests to stay under shelter until safe to do so. Thanks again. John Waugh
