⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐




We can’t thank this team enough. From start to finish, they were so kind, supportive and thoughtful. They guided us gently through everything, listened to our wishes, and handled every detail with such care and dignity. When we were upset and overwhelmed, their calm, compassionate support meant the world. They treated us like family, not just customers. We’re so grateful for the beautiful send‑off they helped us give my Dad. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

5 Douglas McAdam 25th May 2026

Delighted with the service we received from David at Glasgow Independent Funeral Care.


Mum passed away at her care home and from the moment David arrived, I was comfortable that Mum was treated with care and dignity.


Mum was transferred from the home into the care of GIFC. As she was trolleyed through the home and into the private ambulance, we were touched to see David and his colleague after closing the doors, each take a step backward and bow in respect.


I’m also so appreciative of the way my Dad was met with compassion and respect.


As my siblings and I began to plan the details of Mum’s service, David was patient, helpful and I’m really proud of the fabulous send off we gave Mum.



A huge thank you to David and his team for everything.

This review took me longer to write, not just because of losing my Mum, but because I wanted to find the right words to thank the incredible and professional team at Glasgow Independent Funeral Care.

After Mum passed in December, me and my partner were totally lost and didn’t really know where to begin. We walked along Shettleston Road looking at a few places, but nothing felt right. When we got to Glasgow Independent Funeral Care the doors were locked, but as we tried the handle a light came on and a man came to the door and told us his name was David and he was the owner. Even though they were closed, he invited us in and spoke to us with such kindness, warmth and understanding and showed a genuine interest in who Mum was. He was very professional but made us feel like he knew us personally and made everything that little bit easier – we even had a few laughs telling stories about Mum. He took his time, explained everything clearly, and we left feeling that we were in safe hands.

The next day he brought Mum into his care, which meant the world to us. Mum was an east end girl through and through and knowing she was close to home and being looked after somewhere warm and homely was a huge comfort. It also made it easy for us to visit Mum and we could even go in and do her hair and makeup the way she liked it. Every single tiny detail we wanted for Mums funeral was met with ease, no fuss or stress. David was there for every part of the arrangements - the crematorium, the celebrant, the coffin, the flowers, arranging for Mum to come home for a night and talking so much gentle care doing so, and for a priest to come along and say some prayers too- nothing was ever a hassle.

He guided us through the music selection, designed beautiful order‑of‑service booklets and a photo tribute set to music for the crematorium, and memory cards after the day. A lovely touch I’ll never forget was when the cars pulled away from Mum’s — David walked ahead, slow and respectful, leading us down the street she called home, and then drove past places that meant something to her on the way to the service. He even contacted people he knew at the Woodend, where we’d chosen to go afterwards, to make sure everything there would run smoothly.

From that first chat right through to the funeral itself, we were cared for in ways I’ll always be grateful for. The funeral was beautiful, sensitive, and exactly what Mum deserved. And even after everything was over, David and the team helped with Mum’s ashes and anything else we needed to finish things properly.

I loved my Mum so much, and David made the hardest time so much more bearable. The respect he showed her, and us from day one means more than I can ever say. I’ll always hold a special place in my heart for David and the whole Glasgow Independent Funeral Care team. They’re truly amazing people, and because of them, I know my Mum got the best send‑off possible. Simply Outstanding.

David absolutely surpassed all my and my families expectations. He offered me endless support and throughout the whole process was on hand to answer any queries. He was exceptional and the whole day for my dad and leading up to it was managed so well and I felt my dad was cared for and not just another customer. Overall I would not go anywhere else and would recommend them to everyone I know. Thank you David and team. Tracy
