Grieving Scots left with dad's funeral bill after thousands paid to directors 'disappears'

The heartbroken family of a Glasgow pensioner who died suddenly after Christmas have been forced to fork out the bill for his funeral after the pre-paid plan he took out with his local funeral service wasn't processed by the firm.

John Munro sadly passed away at his home on December 29, four years after he and his wife Hellen paid around £3,350 each to McLeans Funeral Service on Alexandra Parade in Dennistoun to cover the funeral costs.

The money was never passed on to funeral plan provider Golden Charter before McLeans went out of business last year, unbeknownst to the family, according to GlasgowLive.
