Thank you to Jackie at Queensferry Road for all her help throughout the process. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you also to Emma on the day of the service for all her help and understanding when my daughters had difficulty getting to Edinburgh and belatedly arranging for the service to be streamed. Service throughout has first class.

    Although the overall experience was very good ,Jackie is certainly a credit to the company.I do feel there is room for improvement when bringing the deceased to the funeral director for family to see them we were told mum would be their in the morning my sister ,granddaughter and myself arrived at 10.40 am to find she wasn't their which meant we had to come home and go back again she finally arrived at 1.30pm that was an experience we could have done without .

  • 5 Stephen Balfour 3rd Oct 2022

    Jackie Senior at Dunbar's Craígleith was very helpful and treated us with compassion in our time of sorrow. It was good to be able to go in to a funeral parlour and not be told to go online. Alison & Stephen Balfour
