  • 5 David McIntyre 18th Sep 2023

    We were very pleased with every aspect my father’s funeral. Susan and Linda were so helpful and patient when we were deciding how best to celebrate his life, even accommodating last minute changes with no issue. Pamela was our funeral director on the day and she looked after us beautifully and made sure everything went smoothly. It was a sad occasion but it went without a hitch and allowed us to concentrate on saying goodbye. We would definitely recommend Walter Johnston Funeralcare. Everything was done sensitively, in a professional manner, nothing was too much trouble and we are very grateful.

    Pamela dealt with all our needs with sensitivity. She has a gentle, calming manner. Nothing was too much trouble to her. She thought of everything. We were also so happy with the care taken over my husband when we went to see him. It has left us with a happy memory as opposed to how he was when he left us. 
    Pamela thought about all the small details that we were too upset to think about, as an example she made two small posies for us taken from the funeral flowers. She is such a special person.
