William Scott provided all the arrangements for my father’s funeral in July and I absolutely have no hesitation in recommending the company. From initial contact up to and including the day of his funeral they were most helpful, accommodating, supportive and compassionate. Nothing was too difficult for them and the attention to detail was to be commended.
A relative mentioned that they had attended another funeral just after my father’s and the difference in professional standards was very apparent. A testament to every member of staff at William Scott.

From the first contact with William Scott’s they were respectful, supportive and extremely helpful. They went out of their way to help us to have exactly the kind of ceremony we wanted including finding the family layer to inter ashes. Flowers were beautiful and exactly what we asked for. Very professional service overall. I would highly recommend them to friends and family.

Gillian and David provided an excellent service, dealing sensitively and efficiently with all the arrangements. We were particularly grateful that they listened carefully to our requirements for a non-religious funeral and set everything in place to match our needs with no fuss or bother, exactly as we requested. Overall a faultless level of service.
