Little's Funeral Service Ltd has been providing a highly personal and compassionate funeral service to families in Glasgow since 1985. Based at their head office on Clarkston Road in Muirend, the family-run business operates with a clear commitment to care, dignity, and professionalism, offering round-the-clock support to families at every stage of the funeral arrangement process.
The Muirend branch prides itself on offering a wide range of services tailored to individual needs, from traditional funerals to eco-friendly alternatives including woodland burials and coffins crafted from sustainable materials such as wicker, bamboo, and cardboard. Little's also operates a fully hybrid funeral fleet — a first in the Scottish funeral industry — with hearses and limousines finished in their signature burgundy livery, capable of conducting local services on electric power alone for zero emissions.
In addition to their environmental commitment, which includes planting a tree for every funeral through a partnership with Trees for Life, Little's offers pre-paid funeral plans in association with Golden Charter. The team's dedication to personalisation, sustainability, and compassionate service ensures that every farewell reflects the unique life being celebrated, making Little's a trusted choice for families across the southside of Glasgow.
