What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Professional, respectful and caring staff are the qualities that stand out most in feedback, with families recalling services for parents, grandparents and other relatives where dignity was maintained throughout. The grounds and gardens of remembrance are another recurring theme, described as well maintained, peaceful and unexpectedly serene despite the closeness of main roads, and visitors mention walking or sitting there as a way to remember those who have died. The refurbished chapels are noted as attractive, with the East and South chapels both named in accounts of services.

Arrangements such as the scattering of ashes, memorial books and a pets corner for animal ashes draw particular appreciation, one visitor describing the latter as a lovely touch. Employees are portrayed as polite, hard working and ready to go further than expected for families, and gratitude for the sensitivity shown at a painful time runs through the accounts. What emerges is a picture of a calm, carefully tended place in Glasgow where funerals and memorials are conducted with quiet dignity.

This is a very well kept place and is serene considering how close it is to nearby main roads. My Dad was cremated here in October 2013 as was my Mum in June 2014. The staff couldn’t have shown more respect and were very helpful. Since my original post we have said farewell to my Dad in Law in 2018 and on Feb 13 this year we celebrated the life of my Mum in Law. The staff at the South crematorium could not have been more caring and sensitive. Thank you all.

Evonne McLaughlin . What an incredible Humanist Celebrant. When you celebrated Pat Miller's life on 21/9/22, I was touched by your empathy. When you spoke about Pat, you sounded like like an old friend. You conveyed her life beautifully. Thank you. Elizabeth McAllister. X

Very disappointed had booked for scattering ashes with elderly aunt and uncle, family members, staff very unhelpful except one matter who was a cleaner. As it was our first time scattering the ashes thought we would have got instructions as to what happens, called the office very abrupt member of the staff couldn't get of phone quick enough . When arriving bo staff about eventually had to go and try find an office, the Male member was a bit helpful by transferring the ashes. When he came round to meet us not as helpful as if he couldn't care. Was asked where we could scatter the ashes still waiting on reply.
