I had the most fantastic experience with dignity funerals following the sudden death of my husband in June 2022 and with the help and support from Dignity funerals, he had the ‘perfect’ send off.

Initially I arranged to speak to Jacqueline (funeral arranger)who was very professional, knowledgeable, empathetic, caring and supportive. She offered sound advise and guidance of the funeral service provided whilst ensuring that I made the correct choices and funeral plan for my husband. Jacqueline arranged the whole funeral from the death notice, viewings at the parlour, funeral mass, order of service, the Pipers and the reception ensuring that our family didn’t have to worry about speaking to numerous people at such a sad time. Jacqueline was very respectful thoughtout ensuring that all decisions were made at my pace without any undue stress or worry. In addition, Jacqueline offered reassurance and made regular telephone contact to check in with us and keep us up to date with arrangements and viewing times. Extended viewing times were arranged to allow family and friends additional time to say their farewell, especially those who travelled from around the world for the funeral.
The funeral director made contact prior to the funeral to introduce himself and ensure that I was happy with the arrangements, as well as, to ask if we required any additional support. This was a lovely gesture from a fantastic and well organised team. The funeral cars were beautiful and spotlessly clean, the drivers were appropriately dressed, supportive and professional throughout offering support when required.

I would 100% recommend Dignity funerals for families. The service we received was exceptional and of a very high standard from the initial planning to the aftercare.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart
God Bless 🙏

Balfour house at port Glasgow provided my mums funeral service 3 years ago ,at that time we as a family were in a situation of great anxiety and did not have a clue where to start however due to the professional manner provided by Brendan and his staff they made a very traumatic situation a whole lot easier to manage. Therfore when my Father passed away this year we had no hesitation returning to Brendan at Balfour house ,I have to say we were not dissapointedand we were given a 1st class service and were treated like family with many of the staff remembering small things like our first names ,this made us feel very valued indeed ,Brendan took care of all arrangement without taking over and always run everything by us , we received daily calls from him to check how we were doing and making sure things were going to plan .as far as I am concerned his attention to detail could not be faulted especially during this difficult time with the corona virus . Thanks to Brendan and his team We will have no hesitation in recommending Balfour house to friends and Family . Teresa Baxter
