Kind and sympathetic staff. Arrangements made for a piper and web stream, which meant I didn't have to do it myself. The celebrant supplied was exceptional and was very well praised by attendees at the funeral. Overall the service I received was excellent.

Matthew and his team at John Pagan & Son, (part of the Dignity Group), know that a funeral has to be perfect - there is no second chance to get it right - and they did a superb job for my wife's funeral. They took away the worry for us of organising related matters such as flowers, the printing of service sheets, and headstones as well as liaising with the minister who took the service. We called one day at 104 Annan Road without an appointment, to resolve a specific issue but Matthew was with another client. No problem; his assistant knew exactly what to do. Matthew took me into the Chapel of Rest to say my final goodbye to my wife. I appreciated that he left me in peace for as long as I required. I highly recommend John Pagan & Son as Funeral Directors.

The most appropriately named business I have ever dealt with. Both of the people we dealt with were just wonderful. Kind. Open. Listening. I had no idea that my mum's funeral could be such a beautiful thing; dignified, personal and uplifting.

This company went over an above to ensure everything was done to my requirements. I cannot speak highly enough of the staff at the company. They were very professional in everything they did. Special mention goes to Billie who explained everything in detail and nothing was too much trouble. Billie also remained in contact during the whole process to ensure I was happy with all the arrangements. A really caring company with excellent staff.

From the start Billie and the the team were so professional they treated us with dignity and respect. I was worried because the insurance seemed to take for ages to pay out. I don't like debt. One phone call to J Pagans and my mind was at peace. Frank helped me with the eulogy and everybody was impressed. My family has used J Pagans for generations and when my time comes so will i. John Pagan @Son are undertakers you can trust.

I would highly recommend John Pagan and son, Mathew and his colleagues were all exceptionally respectful and attentive during this difficult time. We were guided, advised and most of all listened to during all the arrangements. Always there to help in any way they could. Mathew and the team made our mothers funeral personal and beautiful.

Fantastic communication throughout ensuring everything planned was in place. Matthew at John Pagan was very friendly and professional and arranged our requested celebrant etc without any issues. A courtesy phonecall the day before the service to check everything was ok and confirm all was in place was a nice touch.
