What people say

★★★★★
Lyndsay and the Howard’s team were highly professional, respectful and supportive throughout all aspects of the planning for our mum’s funeral service. The day of the funeral went very smoothly and was dealt with in a very calm and caring manner. Special thanks also go to the celebrant Pete Goulding, who did an amazing, thoughtful job at the crematorium.

Howards arranged the best Scottish funeral service for me. The funeral organiser, director and celebrant were all top class. It went as well as could ever be expacted for a very sad occasion. All good. Five star service. Would definitely recommend.

Having used Howards for my Mum last year, I used Howards for my beautiful wife Sally-ann 6 weeks ago, I can only say that Derek and the staff are wonderful and I cannot recommend them enough. The whole process was flawless and they show so much compassion and thought into everything they do. I would like to give a mention to chris, our limo driver, he came and opened up the chapel of rest out of hours for me as I was running late and gave me words that will live with me forever. They made a dark day, that little bit lighter.... Thank you ever so much xxx
