Arranging a funeral is difficult at any time, but over Christmas, for a very sudden and unexpected death of your wife, just makes things that bit harder.
Thankfully, the staff at the Musselburgh branch were kind, patient and understanding - they guided me through each step of the process, advised on the thi vs I didn't understand or know about and it felt like they understood and appreciated the difficult time I was going through.
Nothing was too much trouble and everything on the day of the funeral went perfectly.
I couldn't have asked for any better service than that which I received.
