What people say
★★★★★ I had the privilege of sharing a seat on a flight from Aberdeen to Frankfurt with Mr. Robert Mackie, on January 17, 2017, during which we discussed extensively about his business. I must confess that I was most impressed both by Mr. Mackie's competence as well as by his Gentle-manliness. I recommend him to all.
★★★★★ We can't give enough praise to Craig and his colleagues over a recent loss of a close family member. They knew exactly what was wanted and appeared like magic at all the key times when support and guidance was needed. Their knowledge of advice took us to Baldarrock Crematorium where the excellent service continued. Highly recommend their services and their account wasn't frightening.
★☆☆☆☆ Just being to the friends funeral today. The place is lacking any sensibility, logic and is borderline dangerous.
They registered everyone on the NHS app for COVID monitoring and then intentionally packed up everyone to sit next to each other instead of using the the empty space (80% was empty) and give people some distancing.
Later the chap who conducted the whole thing stood on the front of each line of chairs and made handshake with everyone who was there. Spreading the germs from one to an other, probably was trying to create more clients for himself or just being plain stupid.
