We have three designated parking spaces on site, and if a funeral procession is not leaving at the time of your visit, you are also welcome to park at the back door, making access as straightforward as possible. Additional street parking is available nearby on Ellon Road if needed. Our arrangement room is on the ground floor and the building is fully wheelchair accessible, with an accessible toilet, so every member of your family can be with you when it matters most.
Whenever you are ready, our team at Wm Gilchrist is available to take your call and can arrange to bring your loved one into our care from wherever they have died, whether that is at home, in hospital, or in a care setting in areas such as Bridge of Don or Balmedie. You do not need to have any decisions made before you ring us — our role at that first stage is simply to be there, listen, and take the practical weight off your shoulders. The paperwork and planning can all follow at a pace that feels right for your family.
Yes, our team at Wm Gilchrist covers Balmedie and the surrounding villages, including Potterton, Belhelvie, and Seaton, so you are well within the area we serve. We also care for families in Bridge of Don, Tillydrone, and Kingstreet, meaning most people along the Ellon Road corridor can turn to us when they need support. Whatever your location, we will come to you.
We have strong working relationships with a number of local churches and can help arrange a service that reflects your faith, whether that is a Church of Scotland, Roman Catholic, or another tradition. Our team regularly works with St Machar Cathedral and St Peter's Roman Catholic Church, as well as Belhelvie Parish Church for families further out of the city. If your family has a particular minister, priest, or faith leader in mind, we are very happy to liaise with them directly.
We work with both Aberdeen Crematorium and Baldarroch Crematorium, and the choice of venue can make a real difference to how the day feels for your family. On the day itself, our team will guide the coffin into the crematorium chapel, and we will have spoken with you beforehand about music, readings, and whether you would like a celebrant or officiant to lead the service. We take care of every detail of the journey from Ellon Road so that your family can focus entirely on being together.
