A heartfelt thank you to Ian Brown Funeral Directors in arranging my dads funeral especially during the current lockdown situation
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Ian Brown Jnr for honouring the memory of my dad by leading the funeral service as he and his father Ian Snr had done for my late mum and my 2 younger brothers upon their passing.
A special thank you must go to recent addition to the business Shannon for all her help and support with the funeral arrangements.
Shannon is a young lady who is mature beyond her years and will be a credit to the business. She is compassionate

Huge Thankyou to Ian and the team at Ian Brown Funeral Directors for the excellent service given on the sad passing of both my mum and dad over the past year. Ian has guided us as a family through all stages of this difficult time , (particularly as both funerals have been held in covid restricted times ) with compassion and respect. He has always been available to answer queries and questions even after the funerals and demonstrates a genuine care for which the whole family are grateful .
I would highly recommend this company.

We can’t praise Ian Brown Funeral Directors highly enough. We used their services on the death of a close family friend, and would have to say that we were impressed all round with every aspect of their work. They took time at every step, to make sure that our needs were fully met.We dealt mainly with Shannon, who guided us so professionally in all arrangements. Joe, too, was so helpful and supportive, every time we spoke to him.
All in all, we would have no hesitation in recommending Ian Brown of Carstairs. Their help and support at a very difficult time was greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Sadly I lost my precious Mum in May and had a small amount of her ashes in a container. I recently purchased a lovely heart shaped urn to transfer the ashes into. I contacted Ian Brown Funeral Directors to see if they could help me and transfer Mum to her resting place.
Shannon was so helpful and today Mum was moved to her “new home”. I can’t thank Shannon enough for her thoughtfulness and kind words.
All of this was done free of charge for me. May I add that my Mum was actually cremated by another Company. I fully expected to pay for this service.

We sadly lost my gran recently. My papa chose to use Ian Brown Funeral Director. We dealt with Shannon. She is an absolute credit to the company. We couldn't have been better looked after. She thought of everything, down to every last detail. We will always be grateful for such a beautiful send off. She went above and beyond what we expected. My papa sends his thanks ❤
