The staff at WT Dunbar & Sons in Corstorphine were absolutely excellent from start to finish. Fiona, Mim and Darrell were incredibly organised, supportive and empathetic during all of Mum's funeral arrangements. They communicated exceptionally well, and had everything organised inc. arranging a convenient date for all the family, the flowers, celebrant and hearse. I cannot thank them enough for arranging such a meaningful, thoughtful and just perfect funeral and send off for my wonderful mother. Thanks to all at WT Dunbar & Sons.

  • 5 Robert Clark 18th Mar 2024

    W T Dunbar were excellent in all aspects of the funeral.

  • 5 Elizabeth McColl 11th Mar 2024

    While this was a fairly straightforward process given the simplicity of our needs, I still felt we were given as much support as we needed. Nim was very aware that as she was fairly new to the job, she might make mistakes but actually her skills and ability were more than adequate and she had a lovely manner with me. 

  • 5 George Jordan 19th Feb 2024

    Friendly and professional service throughout, Fiona, Darryl and the team are exceptional!

  • 5 Anne Clark 13th Feb 2024

    All of the staff at Dunbars, from Fiona and Darryl organising to Gerry and Ross, who were with us on the day, and no doubt others behind the scenes, were superb. They were so understanding, practical, had gentle humour, all of the things you hope for and need at that time so thank you all.

  • 5 Dorothy Glennon 7th Feb 2024

    W. T. Dunbar & Sons provided a very caring, helpful and friendly service from start to finish. I couldn't have asked for more. Special thanks to Paul, Claire, Peter, John, Emma, and Celebrant Roddie Bell who wrote and delivered a wonderful tribute for my late husband. Thanks to all.

  • 5 Sandy Turnbull 29th Jan 2024

  • 5 Helen Gray 15th Jan 2024

    From agreeing Mums funeral plan a number of years ago to her recent funeral, Dunbar's were excellent. Calm & professional, they delivered a lovely service for mum. Communication with Dunbar's was great and they kept me fully informed, plus made excellent recommendations for the post funeral tea. Many thanks to all at Dündar's, especially Fiona and Paul.

  • 4 Douglas Duncan 6th Jan 2024

    Every stage of the process was handled thoroughly, sensitively and professionally…it would have been five stars if I hadn’t been asked to submit a review afterwards

  • 5 Anne Irvine 2nd Jan 2024

    This was sadly our second funeral in a few weeks, the staff in the offices, and out in the day were outstanding.
    Very friendly, attentive and made a very sad and difficult time seem to go without stress, and the attendees were all looked after very well.
    Dignity was shown at all stages of the arranging and the funerals themselves.
    Id highly recommend.

  • 5 John Hepburn 11th Dec 2023

    The service I had from W.T. DUNBAR CORSTORPHINE was excellent from Fiona, Emma, and Paul and the Funeral team on the day. From my initial contact right through through the whole process the team kept me fully informed of all the procedures and was nothing short of 1st class. My sincere thanks to them for their handling of the whole Funeral process.
    Kind Regards,
    John Hepburn.

  • 5 Anne Irvine 21st Nov 2023

    Fiona and Vlaire, along with everyone else were outstanding.
    They were supportive, informative, and a great help to us at a very sad and emotional time in our lives.
    Thank you

  • 5 Bev Boon 15th Nov 2023

    From the very first phone call to the funeral service itself Fiona treated us with such kindness and thoughtfulness.

    Emma who directed the service did so with dignity and so much respect to Graeme and to the family.

    Jackie the celebrant recommended by Fiona was outstanding in the way she pulled together a beautiful eulogy after spending an afternoon with the family when we laughed and cried talking about how special Big G was to us.

    I appreciate there were several other people in the background involved to support the whole process.

    On behalf of myself and my children, Rachael, Stuart and Scott I'd like to thank everyone so much for bringing together everything needed to make a difficult day a joy and celebration of Big G's life.
