They wete recommended to me from the care home manager and they did my mums funeral. The service was professional abd personal. The staff were caring, respectful and helpful. They were on hand day and night to answer any queries and help. It made a very difficult, sad time a bit easier. On the day my dad had just got out of hospital and was poorly and had to be wheeled into the church which they helped with

Our contact at Barry Whalen was John and we couldn't have had a better experience. He was so kind and professional, he made a difficult time so much easier. I think it sounds really cheesy but it feels like it's a proper vocation for John/the team - nothing was ever too much trouble and anything within John's power to make things easier was always cheerfully offered and sorted quickly. During such a sad and overwhelming time we felt like we had the best guide possible by our side. Thank you so much for your kindness and professionalism, I'll never forget it and would recommend you to anyone who needs compassionate and courteous care.

Barry Whalen was recommended to us by a friend and I have no hesitation in recommending this company on to anyone else. They were friendly and professional and on the day everything was looked after. It’s not easy to arrange a funeral for a loved one, this company will look after you. Many thanks from Bruce and myself.

Barry was the most kind person. He delt with my father's funeral. My dad was a simple man.but I needed to send him off in a simple way.he carried out what I wanted in Partick Thistle colours. Recruited the best people down to the flowers which had thistles down to the celebrant. Couldn't be happier with his service. If anyone asks me who I would recommend! I would proudly say Barry Whalen
