We've been part of the Edinburgh community for over a century, supporting local families through bereavements for more than 100 years. That history means we understand this city and its people deeply, and we've built trust with generations of families who've come back to us when they've needed our help. Our experience also means we know all the local crematoriums, churches and venues inside out, so we can guide you with real knowledge and care.
Yes, we arrange services at both Seafield and Warriston crematoriums regularly and know them very well. We'll guide you through choosing the right crematorium for your family, talk you through what happens on the day, and handle all the arrangements with the crematorium on your behalf. Our team will be there with you throughout the service to make sure everything runs smoothly and your loved one is treated with dignity and respect.
Absolutely. We work closely with Catholic churches across Edinburgh and have longstanding relationships with many local parishes. Our team understands the traditions and requirements of a Catholic funeral Mass, and we'll liaise with the priest on your behalf to arrange everything from the service booklet to the timing. We're here to support you in creating a funeral that honours your loved one's faith and brings comfort to your family.
The first thing to do is give us a call on the number for our Great Junction Street branch, any time of day or night. We'll talk you through what needs to happen next and arrange to bring your loved one into our care as soon as possible. There's no pressure and no rush, we'll answer any questions you have and explain each step clearly. Once your loved one is with us, we can arrange a time for you to visit our chapel of rest whenever you feel ready.
We serve families right across Edinburgh and the Lothians, and we're able to arrange funerals throughout wider Scotland too. Our team on Great Junction Street knows Leith and the surrounding communities well, and we regularly support families from all corners of the city. Whether you're local to us or further afield, we'll travel to you and make sure everything is taken care of with the same level of personal attention.
