We have used George Scott Funeral Services on several occasions and each time they have handled all the details and proceedings in such a professional, friendly and respectful manner. The difference in the service received is because of “them”. Neil, Andrea and the team go far beyond what is expected in terms of their care, support and empathy. They have been there to answer all our questions, wether big or small, and are so personable - they are just lovely. You can trust and feel confident that Neil and the team will ensure the whole process runs smoothly and that your loved ones are cared for, in their time at rest, with them. I simply cannot recommend them enough.

We used George Scott in Somerset Road Bournemouth when my mum passed away. From the moment we made contact with them they have acted in such a professional, caring and respectful manner. We dealt with Neil and he explained everything to us at our own pace. He listened to what we would like for our mum and ensured that it happened the way we had hoped. During this time of covid it seems even more horrible to have to arrange a funeral with just a small number of people being able to attend and having to wear face masks made it tough. I can't imagine how hard funeral homes are working right now, how they must keep up with the changing and challenging legislation but these guys were all wonderful. From collecting my mum from the house, to preparing the body to be viewed to arranging the wonderful lady to preside over the service to driving us to the funeral they were perfect! Thank you Neil and your team.

I have conducted literally hundreds of funeral services for families in the Bournemouth and Poole area. Sensitivity and understanding during a time of grief are vital. George Scott are without a doubt, the most professional and also the most understanding and genuinely caring company that I have worked with. The personal touch, gained through their experience as an established, local, family run business is immensely valuable
