I thought the process was very organised, considerate and informative. The arrangements to visit my mum in the parlour of rest was seamless, staff very kind. The staff ie Tracey in the branch was very nice, kept me informed, thanks. The gentleman on the day of the funeral, professional and attentive. The pre call by Gavin to explain the process was much appreciated.

  • 5 Pamela Wallis 3rd May 2022

    Very professional and made us all feel at ease. I would definitely recommend their services.

  • 5 Leigh Millar 20th Apr 2022

    From the first phone call with Tracey to day of the funeral everything was perfect. Tracey made a difficult task easy and stress free and helped with all my requests and queries. Everyone commented on the great send off my Mum had and it would not have been possible without Tracey being there to guide me as never had to arrange a funeral before. Cannot fault a single thing.

  • 5 George Robertson 12th Apr 2022

    Very professional and friendly support provided at a very difficult time. Everything was handled with dignity and consideration. 

  • 5 Robert Perry 11th Apr 2022

    I would like to thank Tracey who gave excellent service and was extremely kind and helpful when we were organising everything. I would also like to thank Emma for leading the funeral and dealing with Gillian, I know funerals must be a hard thing to deal with but in this instance it must have been very difficult for Emma. In all the service was outstanding, nothing was a bother and we were extremely pleased with everything. Thanks.

  • 4 George Greig 3rd Apr 2022

    Very happy with the help from Tracy.

  • 5 Jean Christian 21st Mar 2022

    Very kind and helpful. Made what has been an upsetting time easier to bear. Thanks especially to Tracey.

  • 5 Katrina Bremner 7th Feb 2022

    Excellent service from begin to end listen to all our wishes and help when we could not think of a verse to be read.

  • 1 Thomas Meikle 31st Jan 2022

    It was explained that my sister was in a wheelchair during my first contact with the undertaker.
    I was told this was not an issue and it would be put in the boot of the limo.
    When the cars arrived on the day of the funeral the folded down wheelchair would not fit in the boot.
    Subsequently I had to put it into my late farther's car and drive to the church, followed by the cemetery and finally to the bowling club.
    I don't know what we would have done if his car had not still been at his house.
    If there had been any doubt, I could have submitted dimensions of the folded down chair prior to the day of the funeral, and if required made other arrangements.
    There was also the fiasco of the hearse trying to get access to the disabled entrance of the church, ultimately being unsuccessful.
    I was assured afterwards that this entrance had been checked for access by yourselves prior to the day of the funeral
    I had to give them directions back around to the main entrance.
    Apart from the obvious hassle this caused me on the day of my father's funeral, it also caused my sister unnecessary anxiety and embarrassment.
    However I now consider the matter closed but, needless to say, would not recommend your company to anybody.

    Regards

    Tom Meikle

  • 3 Joan Macrae 20th Dec 2021

    The actual funeral was fine but I felt that the reception in the office was cold, business like and lacking in empathy at a time of trauma.

    Kind, caring and sympathetic service. Personalised to keep our mum's funeral similar to our, unfortunately recent, dad's funeral.

  • 5 Brenda McNaught 24th Jun 2021

    From first meeting Tracey at Piershill branch to leaving the crematorium, everyone was very helpful and kind.   I can’t thank you enough for your attention to detail which made everything on the day perfect.

    Thank you.

    I found McKenzie and Millar Funeralcare, Piershill to be both Friendly and efficient.
    Tracey and Thomas in particular were very helpful. I had never had to be involved first hand in arranging a funeral previously and they made what was a difficult process for me a lot easier than it might have been. Full marks!

    Tracy was great from start to finish at organising everything, including Bill Miller, Celebrant, who managed to get the music I wanted. Everyone said what a lovely service it was. Thank you to everyone at McKenzie & Millar.

  • 5 Jacqueline Sanderson 18th May 2021

    Excellent service from the start. Tracey was very friendly and guided us through the whole process tailoring it perfectly for our needs. Nothing was too much trouble at all. The funeral ran very smoothly on the day and Thomas and his colleagues made sure we were kept advised of proceedings on that day. Cannot fault this service at all.

  • 5 Morna Birrell 17th May 2021

    All the staff were very kind and helpful. They were very attentive to detail and provided exactly the type of service we wanted.
