Lynn Duff 10th Sep 2025
I highly recommend Glasgow Independent Funeralcare. David was exemplary in his care and support of my widowed dad, my brother and myself. We actually changed Funeral Directors after 2 days to David and are so glad we made that choice. In a time when businesses are becoming more impersonal and remote, David accommodated everything we asked for and really brought that personal touch. My dad particularly wanted to visit regularly and David facilitated this, even on a Sunday. Nothing seemed too much bother and he made the process of arranging everything very easy. We feel extremely lucky to have found David and Glasgow Independent Funeralcare to help us navigate us through the loss of my mum.
Connie Simkins 8th Sep 2025
David & his team were recommended to us by close friends. The Simkins Family cannot express our gratitude enough to them. They handled us with so much care and compassion. David answered every call and every message we sent (and we sent a lot) promptly. They made a very sad & difficult time for us bearable. We thank them from the bottom of our hearts for taking care of our dear Mum .
