What families say about us

Rated 5 / 5 based on 35 reviews.

I had assumed that, with living in the Highlands, trying to arrange my late sisters funeral was going to be very complicated and would involve a lot of travelling. My first phone call to Tyres changed that assumption. Sandra was immediately sympathetic and when she said “we will organise everything” she was true to her word.

I can’t put in words how much weight it takes off your shoulders during a very stressful and emotional time.

Professional from start to finish and we as a family can’t thank them enough.

Andy and the team were exceptional. My thanks to you all, it was such a difficult time for the family, but they were there the whole way making the process of my Dads funeral as special as the man himself. Debbie
