T & R O'Brien Funeral Directors

T & R O'Brien is a long-established funeral director in Glasgow and part of Dignity Funerals. The company specialises in catering for the Chinese and Asian communities and offers funeral services of all faiths and cultures. Its Maryhill funeral home has a large service room, two chapels of rest, and a ritual wash and dress room. T & R O'Brien provides advice and guidance at every step, including registering the death, and arranges cremation or burial at any local crematorium or burial site.

It offers viewing of the deceased in the chapel of rest, hearses, funeral vehicles, bespoke transport options, memorials and tributes, and prepaid funeral plans. The company has close ties with many places of worship, ministers and local businesses in Glasgow. It offers three funeral packages: Attended Funeral, Parlour Service and Unattended Funeral.

Compassionate, dignified care is the theme running through the accounts left by families in Glasgow, and it is the staff at this funeral director who are most often singled out for making a difficult period easier to bear. Customers describe being made welcome and at ease from the outset, and the kindness shown on the day of a service is a point that comes up often, whether a death was sudden or expected. Named members of staff, among them Carol, Mairi, Stephanie, Johnnie, Linda, Debbie, Calum and Adam, are thanked for their warmth and for guiding relatives through every stage, from the first discussion of requests to the funeral itself.

The team's professionalism and willingness to accommodate wishes feature across many of the accounts, as does the respectful way in which loved ones were cared for. One family notes that relatives have relied on the company for four and a half decades, while others simply express gratitude for the support received. Coffin supply, cremation and memorial work sit alongside funeral direction, and the consistency of the compassion described remains the strongest impression left by the feedback.
