About us > Testimonials

I would like to say a very big thank you to you and the team from myself and the family for the professional and caring service you provided to us at a difficult time. From the very first meeting with yourself Paul (and Colin), you made us feel important and made us aware that you and the team were there to help with anything big or small. Everyone was extremely compassionate and caring. Collette was great and provided a very personal service and also put together the perfect Order of Service, she is an asset to your team. All the music sourced was perfect on the day. Thank you for recommending Susan Chown as celebrant, she was the perfect choice. Everything went well on the day, thanks to Mark and the team. I would also like to say a special thank you to Mark and Colin as they managed to source the flowers from the Crematorium and then place them on the lair at Grandsable. Thank you once again for the support you and the team provided to enable Mum’s day to go well.

Your compassion and understanding meant the world to us during this challenging time, and we are so grateful for everything you did to help us say goodbye to my mother with dignity and respect. Thank you for all that you did to make my mother's funeral a special and meaningful event.

The Boville Family - February 2023

We cannot express how thankful we are to you and all your staff at what was an extremely difficult time. Any bereavement is stressful but adding to that was our total lack of experience, out of country concerns and our "professional" desire to be involved in small details. We can only say we appreciate your patience with us. The funeral you prepared went beyond our expectations as a tribute to our wonderful Dad.

The McNab Family - December 2022

I want to firstly thank the team for a beautifully fitting funeral last week for my dad; despite the weather we were so well looked after and every detail considered. Please pass my thanks to William, Elaine and the team. Thank you again for a beautiful and sensitively managed service, it's meant the world to my family and me.

The Kelso Family - November 2022

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for everything that you and all your colleagues did to make yesterday go so well. Every single person that we have dealt with since dad passed away has been so incredibly professional and kind which has helped to make a difficult process that little bit easier. While death is essentially the day job for you, it’s not for those going through it and I really wanted to commend everyone for making the service we received feel so personalised. Cuthell’s came highly recommended and it’s clear to see why. We would also have no hesitation in recommending your service to other families in the future.

The Grant Family - June 2022

I did pop into the Denny office yesterday to thank the staff in person, and would like to offer the same thanks out to yourself for the wonderful service that you and your team provided for my Papas funeral. Everything went perfectly, and all the comments from attendees afterwards were extremely complimentary. The vintage car got plenty of compliments, and in everyone's opinion was a very fitting addition to proceedings. You and your team made a very difficult time a bit more manageable for the family , and for me personally, I would have certainly struggled otherwise.

The Paterson Family - June 2022

Many thanks for your services & personal touches that enabled my mums funeral to go as smoothly, with as much dignity as possible, during what was a traumatic time for our family.

The Tracy Family - February 2022

I just wanted to thank you, William and everyone else who looked after John, all your help and support was amazing, I can't thank you enough.

The Braithwaite Family - January 2022

We want to say an enormous thanks to you and your team for the way you’ve so kindly and carefully looked after us over the last 10 days since my uncle died. From Liz who answered the phone originally, to your good self in our meetings and phone calls we’ve had the most impressive service! We’re very thankful for the way today went, our aunt is very pleased and thankful too and we don’t think it could have gone better in any way. It’s a great relief! We’d definitely like to appoint you as the Henry family funeral undertaker from now on! You did everything you said you would and made our lives so much easier. It’s feels so inadequate just to say thank you but we really mean it!

The Robertson Family - October 2021

Belated thanks to you and all at Thomas Cuthell for the way in which my wife's funeral was handled. From the first moment when I spoke to Alistair late on the Friday up to our meeting in your office a week or so ago everything was done with courtesy, kindness, sympathy and great efficiency. It was a perfect example of how a funeral should be managed from start to finish. Our family are very much in your debt. Please pass my thanks to Alistair, Mark, John, Nicole and Mrs Smith in your office. The order of service booklet was beautiful. It goes without saying that Richard III's hearse was a special memory and my wife would have loved that!

The Scott Family - July 2021

Many thanks for your kindness, care and attention to detail in organising our dad's funeral.

The Ramage Family - May 2021

I feel the need to record our gratitude for your outstanding service and level of care. Your quiet professionalism, patience and understanding at every step in the planning and on the day itself was very much appreciated. You made yourself available at all times of day and night when decisions or advice were required and I was always reassured after speaking with you. As a result of your input, the service for my mum was truly our time to give thanks for her life, and your attention to detail and care, particularly in these complicated times, freed us to reflect solely on that. By then end of the day, having shared worship with those present and also those far removed, we were so thankful for all of your work.

The McBride Family - March 2021

I just wanted to thank you, Paul and your staff for everything and helping to arrange mum’s funeral yesterday, Nicola and Liz were a pleasure to deal with. I was so glad that mum managed to be brought home, despite the terrible weather. Please pass on my thanks, especially to Paul and the staff for helping me when we delivered the flowers in the morning. Also for being able to collect us at the house and the lovely service they provided. Everything went as I’d hoped, a fitting day for a wonderful mum.

The Morrison Family - February 2021

On behalf of myself, my dad and all my family, I would like to thank you for all you did to support us on the sudden death of my mum.

The McEwan Family - November 2020

On behalf of the whole family a massive thank you to all of the staff involved in the care of our Papa particularly to Mark. I’m sure it is no surprise to you that he held it all together and truly took care of us all – nothing is ever too much trouble and he never treats people as if he has done this many times before. It is, I expect how he would wish his family to be treated. Please never lose that as a company!

It was especially comforting to me to see Allan driving as we were all at school together.

The McLuskie Family- December 2019

Just a small message of thanks for your kind and professional handling of the funeral. With your clear direction and advice myself and the girls have been able to navigate this difficult step in our journey. I actually thought Wednesday was beautiful and that's not an adjective I ever thought I would associate with a funeral. Our Irish relatives commented on how impressive you and your team were.

The Morrison Family- December 2019

On behalf of the whole family, please accept my heartfelt thanks for the way in which Thomas Cuthell & Sons, in particularly William, dealt with my father's funeral. From our first phone call on the evening he died through to his interment, we were assisted and advised throughout the process with compassion and professionalism. The funeral itself was exactly what my father wanted, due in large part to the arrangements you made.

The Scrimgeour Family - October 2019

I just wanted to thank everyone at Thomas Cuthell & Sons for their services at my brothers funeral. Special thanks to Mark who ensured that everything from start to finish ran smoothly. He really did cater for our every need, Inger & Louise were fantastic too. In fact every member of staff were amazing, you have such a great team and they all played a part. The way they deal with matters is a huge comfort at such a difficult time. If I was in your industry I would have no hesitation in having every member of your staff on my team. They really are a credit to you. They certainly make the worst times in your life just the bit more bearable and comforting.

The Jackson Family- August 2019

Thank you Paul and all of your colleagues for the way you helped us through the loss of my cousin. It was a difficult time but you were all superb and you all went way beyond what I would call the normal line of duty - even to little things like making sure we didn't slip as we moved around the grave.

The Pollock family - May 2019

Paul guided us through the preparation process for the funeral, his compassionate, calm and well organised approach was a great source of support to us.

The MacDonald family

Thanks once again for your assistance throughout, you have made a stressful and upsetting time much easier with your professional approach and sympathetic handling of the funeral arrangements.

The Dewar family

We will never forget your kindness or the caring and courteous service you provided for us all, it was much appreciated. Thank you again for all the help you gave us.

MacPherson Family

In a funeral director you should seek someone who empathises with you, will look after you. You need that support when you are in that horrible situation. Whatever we asked of Thomas Cuthell and Sons they did. They were so easy to deal with. I work in the services sector and very rarely do you see such a uniformity of professionalism across the business. It seemed to be embedded in the firm’s corporate character.
