    Everything went according to plan and service was lovely. Had an issue with the registrar as doctor did not provide next of kin details. They took over and got it sorted and got appointment arranged to get my mums death registered. Very professional and compassionate from start to finish.

  • 5 Geoff Walker 30th Jan 2023

    Extremely professional and a very personal service was provided by them from the beginning when we first contacted them. They guided us through the whole procedure in an extremely professional manner.

  • 5 Ian Fleming 23rd Jan 2023

    Our family cannot thank the staff at Dunbar & Sons enough for the arrangements they put in place for our mother’s funeral. Their tactful suggestions regarding the order of service were much appreciated as were their helpful updates leading up to the day of the funeral itself. Everything went like clockwork. And while we hope never to have dealings with Dunbar & Sons in the foreseeable future (for obvious reasons) we would recommend them highly to any family needing to organise a funeral.

  • 5 Yvonne McEwen 23rd Jan 2023

    I think the rating speaks for my experience with W.T.Dunbar. However,they have been involved with my family funerals over many years so I think this reflects the level of satisfaction.

  • 4 David Baird 16th Jan 2023

    Very good service in general, kept us updated and informed.

  • 5 Graeme Marshall 16th Jan 2023

    Excellent service throughout the whole process. Fiona spent a lot of time with me, had great attention to detail and the funeral was perfectly organised. Fiona also suggested Gayle as the ideal celebrant for my mum’s funeral and her judgment was spot on as Gayle was perfect. Gayle also spent a lot of time with us and condensed all our memories into a lovely eulogy, delivered as if she knew my mum personally. Excellent job by the whole team.

  • 5 William Crichton 16th Jan 2023

    A big thanks to FIONA and PAUL of W T DUNBAR & Sons and GAYLE our CELEBRANT who delivered a service that we will remenber for the rest of our life. Thank you all again.

  • 4 Rhona Bowman-Smith 15th Dec 2022

    The service for the funeral was very good but I felt that Fiona in the office was too busy to deal with us in the correct manner as she made a mistake with the kind of celebrant that we required for our needs and this had to be re-arranged. Having said this we were highly impressed by the celebrant Jacky McKinney who did a fantastic job & also the funeral director on the day was very competent & remained unflustered when the service had to be delayed as some of the family got held up in traffic. Fiona also gave us very good recommendations for the funeral tea & knew her job well.

  • 5 John Cockerell 22nd Nov 2022

    From start to finish the whole funeral process was handled in a sympathetic and very very professional manner by Paul and his team. Thank you 

  • 5 Kathleen Winn 15th Nov 2022

    Very patient hard working staff who guided me through the funeral arrangements. Paul and Fiona put together the funeral  I had hoped for .Many people at the service mentioned the way the service arrangements ran so smoothly. I was so touched the day after the funeral when Paul took time out of his busy day to phone me , ask how I was and gave me good advice about how to care for myself now that my Bob has gone.

  • 5 Peter Harvey 14th Nov 2022

    I have nothing but praise , from start to finish it was all so perfect and Emma who
    looked after us on the day was outstanding.I would highly recommend.W.T.Dunbar to anyone.
