My late Aunt passed away peacefully at home in Haddington mid April and I decided to engage WT Dunbar and sons, Corstorphine to manage the entire Funeral essentials on behalf of our family. Fiona and Paul, in particular helped us get the finer matters resolved, completed and then managed to book us a date which suited all those intending to attend the Funeral. It was successfully held at Seafield Crematorium on Friday 20th May 2022 at 2pm, often a difficult time to be able to book in Edinburgh Thanks to all at WT Dunbar & Sons, who were involved, but particularly Fiona and Paul.

  • 5 Kevin Straughan 23rd May 2022

    The staff at W.T Dunbar Funeralcare Corstorphine were absolutely excellent, caring, professional and definitely went the extra mile for us. 

    Fiona organised the funeral for us and was so kind, efficient and made a very hard and emotional process so much easier to deal with.

    The flowers were beautiful and the order of service was just perfect.

    Paul conducted the funeral faultlessly, the Funeral cars arrived gleaming and exactly on time and he even arranged a display of cameras(relative was a Press Photographer). We were so touched by this and so many people commented on it.

    David the Humanist made us feel we were in safe hands and the eulogy he gave was so personal and heartwarming. 

    I honestly can’t praise the team at Dunbar’s enough, they helped us through a very sad day but we are left with warm memories.
