Thank you for the service we received from Macleans, in particular Tina who handled the arrangements with much sensitivity and professionalism. The live Web Cast was very effective and meant family and friends were able to join us from far and wide as they would have done in non Covid. Also our undertaker Craig put us all at ease on what was a very difficult day.
Thanks again .

Losing a loved one is never easy.
Losing a loved one in the middle of a global pandemic creates its own challenges that cannot be anticipated. Maclean’s were incredibly supportive from the first phone call we made to them. They provided a professional yet sympathetic service whilst in keeping with the safety measures for Covid. We cannot thank them enough for their guidance, professionalism and kindness.

From the time I stepped into Macleans the excellent customer service started from there. Donna had empathy, kindness and the human touch money cannot buy. At a terrible time I was guided through all the options at my own pace. The arrangements for the funeral and the funeral itself was first class and I highly recommend these funeral directors if you are unfortunate to lose a loved one.

Macleans were professional, respectful and caring from the moment I lost my Father until after the funeral. I couldn't have wished for better care to have been taken of him. I would highly recommend the services of Macleans to anybody.
Thank you to the staff of Macleans for making a very difficult time a little more bearable.
