You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.

Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.

If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.

Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.

Recently use Barclays to organise my grandads funeral, was so nervous as this was our first funeral we have had to plan for a family member. Georgia and her team made the process flawless they looked after the family and most of all my grandad throughout the whole process. From start to finish I can’t thank them all enough! The communication etc was super clear and my grandads service could not have been more perfect. Thank you, Roxy & the Nicol Family!

As soon as Barclays were appointed as the funeral directors for my Mum they provided an extremely efficient and thoughtful service. Georgia took me through all the funeral options and when everything was decided the execution of the plans were flawless. The team made a very difficult time easier to manage. Communication was excellent and I would thoroughly recommend Barclays at Davidson's Mains.
