The staff were very professional helpful and understanding. I was very grateful for all the patience and time given by Debbie at the Craiglockhart branch when organising the service. I would highly recommend Dunbars. Thankyou

Gavin Wilson 20th Sep 2022

The service provided was excellent. Our only disappointment was the near three week wait for the cremation to take place, although we appreciate that this was no fault of the staff we dealt with. Many thanks.

    The funeral went to plan without a hitch. Debbie kept in touch throughout and helped when I wasn't sure about some things. The staff were very respectful and helpful at all times.

  • 5 Leigh Hunter 8th Aug 2022

    Debbie was amazibg throughout and made a difficult task very easy. Only thing I would say is if there was Information around paying for funeral. I didn't realise my dad's bank would pay in full but wouldn't release money to myself to recoup the deposit until much later. It would have been good to know this and I would have gone to bank to get paid in full to begin with.

  • 5 Kirsty Swan 11th Jul 2022

    Debbie, Terry, Gavin and the whole team at W T Dunbar went absolutely above and beyond to care for myself and family and to ensure that my Mum’s final journey was as respectful and as memorable as possible.

  • 5 Steven Moffat 20th Jun 2022

    Debbie at W.T.Dunbar was excellent during a very stressful time.
    She couldn't have been any more helpful than she was, having never organised a funeral before, Debbie helped me immensely, talked me through everything and went above and beyond to ensure the funeral went smoothly.

    Incredible service from the moment I contacted your company. Never an easy time but I will be forever grateful for the service we received. I cannot go without saying that Debbie was outstanding, I can’t put into words how sensitive and caring she was. She’s a credit to your company. The staff on the day of the funeral were thoughtful, respectful and incredibly kind to me and my family at a time we needed it most.
