  • 5 Caroline Meikle 20th Dec 2021

    We used Gail and the team for my Mum and Dads funeral. My parents died within two
    Months of each other so it was extremely sad and could have been stressful, however with Gail's help it wasn’t .  I would therefore recommend Anderson Macguire as a funeral director of choice .  Caroline Meikle

    Can’t fault the service I received from Anderson Maguire in regards to my partners funeral. Gail in particular went above and beyond to make the process as easy as possible for me. Communication was always perfect and any issues quickly resolved. Thanks to all. 

  • 5 John Burke 28th Nov 2021

    This was the first time I have had to organise a Funeral, and was getting worked up about how it would all come together from organising things like Flowers, Music, Order of Service Pamphlets Etc.

    Needn't have worried, with the help of Gail at Anderson Maguire Colston Branch, she talked us through it all, and every aspect was arranged at the one time in a single visit.

    I was also delighted with the presentation of my dear Wife at her Viewing, she was as we remembered her before her long illness took its toll on her and she looked beautiful and at Peace.

    Service continued after the Funeral with follow up calls from Gail to ask if everything went well.

    This is not the first time I've dealt with Anderson McGuire Colston branch. I have used them when my stepdad passed in 2019 then again in September when my mum passed away. The very capable and lovely Gail Sheer looked after me and guided me through the process to ensure I and my family had everything we needed from coffin , car, flowers, order of service, memorial cards. Gail is a credit to your company. Constantly keeping me updated throughout. To ensure everything went smoothly

    Everyone at Anderson McGuire have been so helpful and supportive to our family. Nothing was too much trouble for them and they gave Jack the most lovely funeral. So much care shown at all times. Gail was exceptional in arranging my dads funeral, nothing was too much trouble for her. 

  • 5 Lynn Hughes 29th Jan 2021

    I mainly dealt with Gail who was amazing and made it so easy for me working hard to meet my requests. From then every member of the team I met had the same level of excellence from Martin the funeral director to Jennifer in the mortician office and Aidan who was our car driver on the day. Organising a funeral is something no one ever wants to do but Anderson Maguire team made the process bearable and I couldn’t have asked for more under current circumstances. Thank you.
