"The staff provided the family with support and a dignified ending to a much loved life. They advised and catered for all our requests."
— Roy Calder
"Margaret helped us organise everything and made sure my dad's funeral went just as he and we would have wanted. Nothing was too much to ask, no matter how big or small the question or request was, she made it work."
— Cameron Aitken (about Margaret)
"Henry Dorricott provided me with both support and professional advice, which not only made me feel at ease, but gave me the reassurance that my mum would receive the beautiful service and send off that she really deserved."
— Willie Mac (about Henry)
"The most touching act of all, when the Funeral Director presents a flower from the funeral wreath to family members at the funeral, means so much. Even taking the time to make personal reference to my late father by name, whilst making arrangements for my mother, makes you feel like you are receiving a truly personal and very professional service."
— Lorna Docherty
"On the day of the funeral I was a nervous wreck, didn't know what I was doing, however Fraser was so calm and reassured me. When roadworks closed the usual route, they actually went through my mum's old town. From the day they received my mum into their care until the day I picked my mum's ashes back up they have been nothing but absolutely fantastic."
— Jo McGuinness (about Fraser)
"From the very beginning, nothing was too much trouble for them and we felt able to call them at any time for advice. It was a great comfort that Henry Dorricott Funerals helped both my mum and dad on their final journeys with such care and attention to detail."
— Jacqueline Parker (about Gayle and Fraser)
