Great service. They took care of everything. All details were organised via phone, email and their website so there was no need to travel to make the arrangements for the service - great for rural customers.

We are incredibly grateful for the care, compassion, and professionalism shown by the entire team. During a difficult time, they made everything feel manageable and supported us every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble, and every detail was handled with dignity and respect. Their kindness truly made a difference to our family, and we couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommended.

Our family recently had the difficult task of laying my father, Col Siddins, to rest. Throughout this emotional time, the team at Burstows demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail. Every aspect was handled with care and sensitivity. The staff took the time to understand our family’s wishes and worked closely with us to create a service that truly honoured Dad’s life and character. Their guidance and expertise ensured that the entire process was seamless and respectful. The quality of service provided by Burstows was outstanding, and their commitment to excellence was evident in every detail. We are sincerely grateful for the support and dignity they brought to my father’s farewell. Mary Siddins

My Brother John and I have not long had a Funeral Service for our Mother at Glennie Chapel which was organised by Angus Young and Katrina Teakle. We were very impressed by the easy relaxed but very efficient manner in which it was caried out It was done at a very personal level.

Burstows were amazing at arranging everything for my Mother’s funeral. The staff are wonderful and caring, and the service is thoughtful, kind and compassionate. The Chapel is a truly beautiful space and their facilities are first class, cannot recommend highly enough.
