Keepsake Cards

At McGowan’s Funeral Services, we empathise with your pain of losing a person that is very dear to you.
We have designed The Keepsake Card to enable you to keep a lock of hair, a fingerprint or some ash close to you at all times.

Our caring and dedicated members of staff are highly trained and exercise discretion and sensitivity at all times.

David McGowan, CEO and founder of the company as it is now known, has always been a leader in the profession, constantly seeking out ways of improving the services provided to those who are bereaved, while honouring the dignity of the deceased.

Our main ethos is to respect the uniqueness of each deceased person.
We endeavour at all times to provide funeral services to suit the needs of the deceased and bereaved alike.

We believe in confidentiality when working with deceased persons and with bereaved family and friends.

Funeral Arrangements

When the time comes to arrange a funeral of a loved one, having complete faith in your chosen Funeral Director to arrange the proceedings in a manner that is respectful to the deceased and the bereaved family is of great benefit in assisting in the initial stages of grief.

Deathcare

We consider the most essential aspect of a Funeral Directors service to a bereaved family is providing them with an opportunity to view their loved one in a manner that is dignified and respectful. In order for this to occur although not a requirement, we would recommend that the deceased is hygienically treated.

Death Registration

As Funeral Directors we can assist you in the registration of the death of a loved one. However, should you wish to do this yourself the following information should assist you.

Could not fault the care and attention everyone gave my family over the two days our father, Arthur Wills, was buried. Their care and attention to detail was superb. We never felt rushed at any time despite a very late evening removal to our church. There was even a chair provided for our mother at the graveside on the day of the burial. Not once, did we feel they were simply going through the motions. All staff were professional, respectful and kind. Sincere thanks for this beautiful service at a very difficult time.
