— Kevin McD (about Caroline)
"Caroline and the team at Burnside have been amazing, everything explained, nothing was a problem. Professional, caring and personal. Not only were we looked after, but, so was mum."

Stephen Bonar, Celebrant, provided exactly the send off we wanted on the day. He prepared all the wording and music at the graveside and also afterwards at our gathering of family and friends and made sure everything went very smoothly. Fosters did a great job behind the scenes and on the day. David Johnston drove the hearse, and he and Andy did a great job of organising our close family to carry Dad's coffin to the graveside and to lower it in. They were both really friendly and approachable and made us all feel at ease. We got exactly the send off we had wanted and are very pleased to have a resting place in our local graveyard for Dad.
