We serve families throughout Livingston and the surrounding West Lothian communities, including Broxburn, Mid Calder, East Calder and West Calder. Our team has been part of the local area since the 1990s, so we know these communities well and understand what matters to families here. Whether you're arranging a funeral close to home or further afield, we'll handle all the details and travel arrangements with care.
The first step is simply to call us on the number at the top of this page, any time of day or night. We'll arrange to bring your loved one into our care, usually to our chapel of rest here on Howden Road South, and then sit down with you to talk through what happens next. There's no pressure, we'll explain everything from registering the death to planning the service, and we'll work at a pace that feels right for your family.
Yes, we have our own peaceful service chapel right here at our Livingston branch. It's a calm, welcoming space where families can hold a full funeral service before heading to the crematorium, or where you can gather for a private service if you prefer something more intimate. We've been serving families from this site since the 1990s, and many choose our chapel because it offers flexibility, comfort and a personal atmosphere without the formality of a larger venue.
We arrange services at West Lothian Crematorium, Mortonhall and Holytown, depending on what works best for your family. On the day, our team will coordinate every detail, from transport and timing to ensuring family flowers are displayed beautifully. You'll have time for a service with readings, music or reflections before the committal, and afterwards we'll help with anything you need, whether that's collecting ashes or arranging memorials.
Absolutely. We work closely with Christian and Roman Catholic churches across Livingston and West Lothian to arrange meaningful services that honour your family's faith and traditions. Whether you'd like a full church service followed by committal at West Lothian Crematorium, or a service here in our own chapel, we'll liaise with clergy and coordinate everything. We're also happy to arrange non-religious services or support families from other faith backgrounds.
