Services
A funeral plan is an easy way to pre-arrange the funeral you want and pay for the funeral director's services covered by the plan in advance. A plan can help to save your family worry and expense, and help make things easier for your loved ones at what is often a difficult time. As our customers often tell us, that can be a big weight off your mind.
Disbursements are charges by third parties such as Crematorium/Burial fees, catering flowers. Once the funeral arrangements have been completed, we'll issue a full written estimate itemising our costs and the things we'll be paying on your behalf such as crematorium and newspaper fees. Payments can be made by card, bank transfer, cheque or cash.
If death occurs at home, a doctor should be contacted as soon as possible. Once the doctor has given authorisation, we will take the deceased person into our care. If death occurs in a hospital, hospice or nursing home, you can contact us directly and we will take care of all the practical matters.
At James McEwan & Son we understand that the final journey can be emotional, we pride ourselves on providing a thoughtful high quality funeral service. Our team of professionals can help you every step of the way, from the initial planning through to the final journey. Our fleet of hearse, limousine and family saloon will ensure that final journey is both dignified and comfortable for all the family.

We used the wonderful family run business for mum as we did for dad - Billy Pennycook is amazing so calm and reassuring. My sister and I are eternally grateful for the time and attention paid to our mum. All with dignity and empathy. Thank you for being there. Annie and Mags. X

My mother died two weeks before Christmas. Billy at McEwans could not have been more helpful and compassionate. They took over and did everything possible for me always respecting my wishes. They even managed to arrange the funeral before before Christmas. I cant rate this company highly enough. Lovely people.

Excellent service, I don't hesitate to recommend them.
When my father unexpectedly passed away I was new to the area and James McEwan & Son was recommended to me. I hadn't arranged a funeral before and they took the time to talk me through all the options and arranged every aspect.
On the day of the funeral we were well taken care of and didn't have to worry about a thing. They made a difficult time easier through their respectful treatment, attention to detail and professionalism.

Having lost my 42 year old partner of 20+ years very suddenly just after Christmas I didn't know where to start. I had never been involved in planning a funeral before.
James McEwen & Son made it seem very straight forward and were very helpful.
I would recommend them.
