I would like to thank Martin and all the staff at Martin Rankin Funeral Directors during the challenging time following the loss of our dearly loved mam. Can I thank you all for the kindness and support you have shown to us. The funeral was just perfect and you went above and beyond and sometimes just the simplest things mean so much. We are touched and grateful for all that you have done for us.

Excellent service from the whole company. Natalie was professional and friendly, nothing was to much trouble and she helped ensure that Dads funeral went so well. At our request they arranged a celibrant Gail More to conduct the service and we cannot recommend her highly enough. Rankins provided our family with a service that helped us all at such a difficult time. Their attention to detail and care towards our Mum in their dealings with her and us was greatly appreciated.

At such a difficult time when a loved one has passed, I can honestly say that this funeral directors were excellent. Every part of the process was explained, very professional handled, and anything explained was always clear and the whole funeral was well and clearly costed. The whole funeral was all taken care of by Martin Rankin Funeral Directors and any questions we asked, were always quickly answered. A real professional business who I would recommend without hesitation.
