What families say

"The consummate professionalism and sensitivity displayed by all staff, combined with excellent organisation and communication, were instrumental in providing the family with some peace of mind at a time when it was sorely needed."

— Andrew Hardie

"Derek listened to what my husband had requested and his wishes were carried out to the letter. We were given options and advice but ultimately the choices were ours and nothing was too much trouble."

— John Campbell (about Derek Hume)

"Fraser, who met Jane prior to her death and helped me so much in carrying out her wishes. Stuart our driver had an excellent approach — he struck a very good balance about when to chat and knowing when to leave us to ourselves."

— Scott Dalgliesh (about Fraser)

"The atmosphere in the place was comfortable, we laughed, we cried but Derek remained professional and matched how we were feeling at the time."

— Lynne Fleming (about Derek Hume)

"Shannon was so helpful and today Mum was moved to her 'new home'. I can't thank Shannon enough for her thoughtfulness and kind words. All of this was done free of charge for me. May I add that my Mum was actually cremated by another Company. I fully expected to pay for this service."

— Karen Boyd (about Shannon)

"She thought of everything, down to every last detail. We will always be grateful for such a beautiful send off. She went above and beyond what we expected."

— Debbie Lennox (about Shannon)

My Daughter and I entrusted my late husband into the care of Derek Hume and his colleagues. I had little experience of arranging a funeral and choose Ian Brown Funeral Directors being a local independent company and after reading their excellent reviews. I would highly recommend Derek and his colleagues for their support, guidance and compassion. From our first meeting to the funeral itself they provided a highly professional and caring service. All aspects of the care my husband would receive prior to the funeral and the funeral itself were fully explained. Derek listened to what my husband had requested and his wishes were carried out to the letter. We were given options and advice but ultimately the choices were ours and nothing was too much trouble. We had a confirmation call from Derek prior to the funeral just to confirm that everything was in place and all would go to plan. I cannot thank him enough.

The team at Ian Browns couldn’t have been more helpful in the organisation of my father’s funeral. I would happily recommend them.

I must commend all members of staff for their friendly and professional approach. Fraser, who met Jane prior to her death and helped me so much in carrying out her wishes. His knowledge of process and procedures and how to apply it to our circumstances provided great confidence. Stuart our driver had an excellent approach. Whilst on the journey between church and crematorium he struck very good balance about when to chat and knowing when to leave us to ourselves. Although I had lesser dealings with Hazel and Anne their approach was also a credit to the team.
