Services
When someone dies it is very important to contact a Funeral Director. Birrell Corrance Funeral Directors prides itself on being able to offer a 24 hour service, 365 days a year, providing help and advice on what needs to be done and by whom. With over many years of experience we have encountered nearly all situations.
Once the Doctor or Hospital has issued the Medical Certificate (form 11), the Next Of Kin or Applicant must register the death within 8 days at the Registry Office anywhere in Scotland, some offices may wish you to make an appointment. The Registrar will issue you with a white document (form 14) required by the funeral director for burial or cremation.
If the death was expected, as the deceased had been ill for some time, it would be normal to contact their Doctor, who would then visit to certify that death had occurred and determine the cause.
This may not happen immediately as the Doctor may be in his / her surgery, or death may happen in the middle of the night, in which case you may decide to wait until morning before calling out the Doctor or alternatively call 999 and upon the police arriving at the home they will call upon a police doctor to allow legal paperwork to be signed and then be released into the funeral director's care.

If relatives wish to bring the body home for the funeral then the arrangements in both areas, including transport, can be taken care of by Birrell Corrance Funeral Directors. Should death occur abroad then our staff can advise accordingly as to what options are available. We offer a personal touch, a professional approach and a compassionate service, when you and your family need it most.
Unless present when death occurs, the relatives will be notified by the nursing staff as soon as possible. Arrangements can then be made with the Hospital administrative staff to deal with any legal formalities. These will include collecting the issuing a Medical Certificate of Cause of Death (issued by a Hospital Doctor) and personal possessions of the deceased.

Birrell Corrance Funeral Directors were recommended to our family following the recent passing of our mother. The level of service and professionalism by Bobby and the team was first class throughout this difficult time – nothing was too much trouble. Birrell and Corrance Funeral Directors may not be the biggest Funeral Directors in Scotland however in our opinion they are the best.

My father arranged his own funeral with Robert Birrell before he passed away. Robert went above and beyond our expectations to ensure my fathers wishes were carried out in the most professional and caring way possible. Everything went smooth on the day and was done exactly the way my father wanted it, could not recommend this company enough.
