At Desmond Maguire Funeral Directors we pride ourselves on our high standard of personal care and attention to detail. All our staff are fully trained in all aspects of funeral service so that families in their time of need can feel at ease and comfortable with all funeral arrangements. Our company policy is that the member of staff who makes the funeral arrangements will be in sole charge of overseeing the funeral ensuring that the all details are adhered to faultlessly.
All our funeral directors are dressed impeccably with top hats and frock coats. We pace away all funeral corteges from the family home, Churches and our funeral homes. Our funeral homes are furnished to a high standard with a tasteful blend of modern and traditional. We have reception areas, private arrangement offices and chapels of rest and service rooms in all our funeral homes. Our funeral homes are ideally located to serve the local community.
We are members of the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors.( S.A.I.F.)
OUR SERVICES
OUR STORY
When Desmond Maguire started washing funeral cars at 15 years old, it didn’t take him long to notice how important a good funeral could be for a grieving family. Inspired to help those in need, Desmond took a job as a funeral service operative when he finished school. He gradually worked his way through the ranks to become a funeral director and in June 2006, he decided to open his own funeral home, aiming to deliver the very best funeral care.
A funeral is such a personal thing, and there are so many complex emotions to be given due attention, that to be chosen so often is a real honour and a privilege. It’s a constant source of pride and humility for Desmond that so many families entrust their funerals into his company’s care.

Funerals Giffnock
As a hallmark of respect, transportation of the deceased from the family home, care home, or hospital to our Funeral Home is done with our hearsette. All of our staff have high regard for dignity and respect.
Once in our care, our experienced staff take care of the body, embalming (if requested), and preparing the body for viewing should an open casket service be chosen. We cater to open and closed funerals based on individual requirements.
Advice on Funeral Services
In situations where a funeral plan is in place, our team will strive to meet every aspect laid out in the plan.
Should you find yourself having to handle the funeral planning, it can help to start by narrowing choices down by style. Simple funerals are as the name suggests. All of the essentials, nothing over the top. Some people have this preference and may have expressed this in conversations about funerals before, even if they did not make preparations. After losing someone close, think about times they spoke of funerals. “When I die, I want to be ___”.
Traditional funeral services include a wood veneer coffin, hearsette, transport and a professional funeral service including the use of the viewing room. Special requests are catered to. It is not unusual when someone dies for us to be asked if we can provide an alternative funeral vehicle. We can and do. Whatever you feel would be more fitting to the life of the deceased, our Funeral Directors will do what we can to make special arrangements.
Our eco-funeral services are for those who have preferences for a natural burial, in an eco-friendly casket for either a natural burial in a cemetery or a green woodlands burial.
