"We would like to express our enormous gratitude to you for your great kindness, care and compassion and professionalism both to my mother after the death of my father and during and after the tragic event that followed.

You helped us cope with a situation which was totally overwhelming and for that we are most grateful. Please will you also thank everyone else in your organisation. Many many thanks again.”

"In the funeral procedures surrounding my mum you served her and our family with care, humility and great kindness.

Not just the practical issues, but your attention to detail and diplomacy. I am so grateful that mum chose you. Thank you. I am so grateful that you were able to be so sensitive and accommodating. Blessings Alex: you are a special man.”

"Thank you so very much for organising such a wonderful and memorable farewell to my darling mum. Everything was just perfect and all my family and friends said it was the finest funeral they had attended."
"How I wish I could find words which could express adequately just how grateful I am for all of the wonderful help you gave to me and my family when we were in dire need.

Nobody could have done more to ease our minds at that dreadfully sad time. It is hardly surprising that we can never cease to praise the very calming, respectful and efficient manner in which you organised literally everything for us. We shall always remember you with immense gratitude.”

"When death arrives so suddenly and unexpectedly the people left behind find themselves overwhelmed by pain and grief.

The care and help you gave to us as a family helped enormously to ease that pain. We take comfort knowing that with your expert caring services we did all we could. The funeral was so dignified and uplifting. The words “thank you” seem so inadequate, but they are all we have. So thank you for all your kindness and support – you are truly wonderful.”

"A line to say thank you once again for the way you conducted my mother's funeral arrangements.

I cannot thank you or praise you enough. What would we have done without you? I thank God we chose you. You gave us confidence to carry on. All of your staff carried out their duties quietly and with dignity and couldn’t have been more thoughtful and polite. Thank you, again and again.”

"The staff at Alexander Burn are a kind, optimistic, and good looking team of dedicated professionals who really know what they are doing.

They have been unfailingly helpful – even when my requests meant they had to re-arrange things so they could be of service.”

"I would like to thank you for your consideration, care and kindness in arranging my father's funeral. It was made much easier through your combined support.

My father was a pilot and had a long career in the RAF. Presentation was something that was very important to him. He would have highly approved of the exceptional standards of presentation that characterise Alexander Burn. Thank you.”

"I am sat at home this morning trying to find the words to express my gratitude to you for wonderfully executing Steve's celebration of life.

Everything flowed as I imagined it would.

So many people said it was one of the best funerals they had been to, so I think we can all take great pride that we did just as Steve had wished for. I know he would have been proud of us all.

A BIG thank you to you from all of the family.”

"Burns attended a sudden death at home, and subsequently were very helpful and sympathetic during the very traumatic and complicated events afterwards.

All of the staff are really nice and genuinely care and take their time. I had a long chat with the receptionist who was wonderful in a crisis, even after the deceased had left their care. I am really grateful for their service and help. I recommend them wholeheartedly.”

"Charlotte and I would like to express out heartfelt thanks to you and Ewan for your kindness, sensitivity and professionalism in helping us through the saddest and most difficult time in our lives following the sudden death of my darling husband Paul on 1st Sept.

Your care, dignified and compassionate manner helped us to deal with our personal grief and made such a terriblbly upsetting time easier for us to deal with.”

"My daughter's and myself wish to thank you and Jackie for the care and attention you gave to Ted's funeral.

You made us feel it was the only one you had to deal with, and though we know it was not, it was a great comfort to us. It is a gift that not every Funeral Director has in my experience.”
