We work closely with a number of local churches and have long-standing relationships with St James and St Columba's RC Churches, Renfrew North Parish Church, Renfrew Trinity Parish Church, and Inchinnan Parish Church, so we can help coordinate a service that reflects your family's faith. Whether you have a specific minister or priest in mind or need guidance on who to contact, our team will handle those arrangements on your behalf. We are equally experienced in arranging non-religious and humanist funerals for families who prefer a more personal, secular farewell.
You do not need to have everything figured out straight away — our team at Walter Johnston & Sons is available to take your call and talk you through what needs to happen, including bringing your loved one into our care from anywhere across Renfrew, Paisley, or the wider area we serve. We can advise you on registering the death at the local register office and help you understand what paperwork is needed before arrangements can be confirmed. There is no pressure to make decisions immediately; we are here to take things one step at a time with you.
On the day of a cremation, our team will bring your loved one from our chapel of rest on Fulbar Street and lead the funeral cortège to the crematorium at the agreed time, keeping everything calm and carefully coordinated for your family. The service itself — whether held at a church such as Renfrew North Parish Church beforehand or directly at the crematorium — typically lasts around 20 to 30 minutes, giving you time for readings, music, and tributes. Afterwards, we will guide you through the options for the ashes, including collection, scattering, or interment, and there is no pressure to decide everything immediately.
Our team at Walter Johnston & Sons on Fulbar Street is very familiar with families coming to us from Erskine, and we are glad to help wherever you are based. We also serve Inchinnan, Clydebank, Paisley Woodside, The Hurlet, Craigton, and the surrounding communities, so distance is rarely a barrier. Please do get in touch and we will talk you through everything at your own pace.
There is street parking available near our funeral home on Fulbar Street in Renfrew, though the local side streets can be busy at times, so it is worth allowing a little extra time when coming for an arrangement meeting. Our building is fully wheelchair accessible, with a ground floor arrangement room and an accessible toilet, so families do not need to worry about steps or difficult access. If you have any concerns about visiting us, please call ahead and our team will do everything we can to make your arrival as straightforward as possible.
