Lorraine Milne 20th Jan 2021

The complete service we received from all staff from the Colston Springburn branch was exceptional from start to finish and we cannot thank them enough. Every little detail was exactly what we wanted for our mum and so much more. The professionalism of all staff especially Gail,Alan and Martin was clear to see from the get go they definitely made what was a really tough time that much easier to deal with. From the bottom of our hearts thankyou. Lorraine and David Milne.

Roseann McNeil 29th Nov 2020

To plan my mum's funeral was the most hardest thing I had to do in my life,they made me feel at ease and helped me not to completely fall apart. They were great at taking everything that I said about my mum and planned it to the way that my mum would have if she was doing it for herself,they were excellent in every way and very supportive through it all.

Marion MacDowell 25th Oct 2020

    I have now used Anderson Maguire  for all my Dad, Gran and now my Mum, and each time they deliver a first class service. They make a very difficult time a little easier. 
    Everything was organised for us, with no hassle just say what it is you want and it’s done. 
    Everything is done with respect for the person and the family. I would like to give a special mention to Gail in your Colston office that woman is amazing! Nothing is to much for her, she goes over and above for both my gran and my mum, the woman is a angel. 
    The viewing for my mum was also done perfectly nothing felt rushed and again very respectful. 
    The day itself a perfect send off for her as hard as it was Your team made it special. All the guys are lovely, first name terms with you making you feel at ease, taking care of my mum on her journey and also checking that the family are ok with everything. 
    Thank you once again for a fantastic service.

    We would like to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to Gail from the Colston branch of Anderson Maguire for her professionalism and extremely caring and sensitive manner shown to us on the recent sad loss of our father Michael. Nothing was too much trouble and her organisation and planning was perfection.
    Furthermore the whole team from our Funeral Director to the drivers of the family cars on the day were faultless. Be assured your love ones will be in safe, caring hands at a difficult time.

    Can't praise the staff at the colston branch enough from Gail who took us through the painful process with respect and compassion and for Chris and his team who took our mum on her final journey . The dignity and respect shown to the whom family from beginning to end was truly commendable we cannot THANK you all enough .x

  • 5 John Thomson 19th Jan 2020

    The team  at Anderson Maguire were excellent from the moment we walked through their door, welcomed by Gail, to leaving their beautiful cars when they dropped us at the hotel we’d chosen for the bereavement lunch after the service.  Due to the time of year, between Xmas & New Year, availability and completion of the required documentation was somewhat delayed, but Gail ensured matters progressed whilst we waited.
