My family and I would like to give our sincere thanks to Trish and the team at Galashiels coop funeral care. The service provided was outstanding and Trish kept in contact with me through every step. She explained everything step by step kept me up to date with things etc. Jerry and his team at the crematorium also did a marvellous job with my mum. I can’t thank you all enough. Stewart Allan did a marvellous job as well talking about my mum and the family. Thank you all so much. It was a beautiful service on the day.
