We have a team of dedicated individuals who are carefully chosen to represent the business. They all have several vital qualities ~ the ability to understand the needs of the bereaved and offer compassion and support. Each team member is aware of the sense of responsibility placed upon them as they care for the bereaved families they are privileged to serve.
Once the funeral details have been arranged, it is usual to notify friends and family of the arrangements, including date, time and location of the funeral, preferences for flowers and privacy. This is traditionally done with a newspaper notice which we can help you prepare, however, we now offer options for online tributes, as well as these being posted on our Facebook page.
If a passing occurs at home, NHS 24 should be notified. Once authorisation has been received, we will then arrange a suitable time to take your loved one into our care. If a passing occurs in a hospital, hospice or care home we will organise a time to take your loved one into our care. Should a death be considered sudden or unexplained, it may have to be referred to the Procurator Fiscal.

My family would like to thank ALL the staff, in particular David, for helping us to finalise my Dad's funeral arrangements. All staff were respectful and compassionate at all times and kept us up to date on what would happen next. We felt David was with us every step of the way to reassure us especially on the day of the funeral. Thank you.
