Yes, our team is very happy to help families in Cruden Bay, and we also serve the surrounding communities of Balmedie, Methlick, Tarves, Newburgh, and of course Ellon itself. Whatever your location, we will come to you and guide you through every step of the arrangements. Distance is never a barrier when it comes to caring for your family.
We are experienced in arranging funerals of all kinds, whether that is a traditional religious service, a humanist celebration, or something entirely personal to the person who has died. We work closely with local places of worship including Ellon Parish Church, the Catholic Parish Church of Our Lady & St John the Baptist, Ellon Baptist Church, and St. Mary-on-the-Rock Episcopal Church. Whatever your family's beliefs or wishes, we will help you create a service that truly reflects the life lived.
Our team at George Burgess & Son is available around the clock, every day of the year, so please do not hesitate to call us at any hour. Once you are in touch, we can arrange for the person who has died to be brought into our care from wherever they are, whether that is a home in Ellon, a hospital, or a care facility, and we will begin guiding you through the paperwork and next steps at a pace that suits you. You do not need to have any of the details ready when you call; simply reaching out is enough.
Our funeral home on Station Road in Ellon has a chapel of rest where families are welcome to spend time with the person who has died in a calm, private setting. We have on-site parking to make your visit as straightforward as possible, and the premises are fully wheelchair accessible. Our service room can accommodate gatherings of up to ten people, offering an intimate space for a small service or gathering should you wish to hold one here. Having served families in and around Ellon since 1852, we understand how much it means to feel welcome and unhurried when you visit us.
We work with Aberdeen Crematorium as our closest option, and can also make arrangements at Baldarroch, Moray, and Dundee Crematoriums depending on your wishes. On the day, our team will take care of all the coordination, from the procession to liaising with crematorium staff, so your family can focus entirely on saying goodbye. We will walk you through exactly what to expect beforehand, so nothing comes as a surprise.
