★★★★★ Wonderful service from this company. Had to deal with a sudden death of a gentleman that I looked after for many years. The whole funeral procedure was explained to me in detail and the humanist minster Graham Duff gave a wonderful touching sermon about our client. Janet was a fantastic help and she is credit to her company. Many thanks and best wishes from all the staff at Merchiston. Highly recommended.
