Without the team, Fiona & Paul we wouldn't have been able to give dad the send off he deserved. They helped us through a difficult time to say goodbye, for that we will be eternally grateful

    From beginning to end Paul and Emma were there for myself and family. Every detail was discussed sensitively and with care. If there were alternatives they were brought forward for consideration and on agreement implemented seamlessly. The day happened as planned with Paul keeping a watchful eye from the side. I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

  • 5 Fiona Wandless 22nd Aug 2022

    I work for WT Dunbar in Corstorphine, Edinburgh as a Funeral Arranger and had absolutely no doubt that my wonderful colleagues FD Emma, Russell, Alan and my fantastic boss Matt would do me proud on the day of my beautiful Mum's funeral. The day was faultless, as I knew it would be. Every member of staff was so respectful leading up to, during and after the funeral service and I cannot thank them enough. Also to Terry, our Care Logistics Manager for organising transport, thank you. We really are a wonderful organisation who pull together and help each other, especially on the toughest of days when one of us loses a loved one. Thank you to everyone at Dunbars and Co-op Funeralcare. The day was faultless and you are all very special people to me ❤
