CREMATION SERVICES
A simple, flexible and increasingly chosen way to say goodbye.
UNDERSTANDING CREMATION
Cremation is now the most common choice for families across Scotland, offering flexibility, simplicity, and the ability to create a farewell that feels right for you.
A service can take place before the cremation, or at a later date, with options ranging from fully attended ceremonies to quieter, private arrangements.
There is no single way to approach cremation. It can be as traditional or as simple as you wish.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU CHOOSE CREMATION
1. Bringing Your Loved One Into Our Care
Following your phone call, we will bring your loved one into our care, with dignity and respect, at any time of day or night.
We will guide you through every decision, including the type of service, burial location, and personal touches.
2. Making Arrangements Together
This may take place at the crematorium, a church, or another meaningful location.
3. The Service
4. The Cremation
The cremation takes place respectfully following the service, or privately if no service is attended.
Ashes can be returned to you, scattered, or placed in a memorial setting.
