Funeral planning awareness week offers an opportunity to think about the wishes you would like to leave for your own funeral.

For some, this is simply about making a record of your wishes, for others, it may include paying for your funeral in advance.

As Appointed Representatives for Golden Charter, we can provide information, and help you consider the style of funeral you would like to plan. Whether for a traditional service, something contemporary, or a simple direct cremation to take place locally in Aberdeen.

Contact us today, without obligation, or visit one of our funeral homes at:

Muirend Road, Portlethen
347 George Street, Aberdeen
26 Abbotswell Crescent, Kincorth

As we prepare to close the office for Christmas, we would like to send our best wishes to the client families we have met throughout the year and also to our professional associates.

We appreciate that not everyone’s Christmas will be celebrated the way you might have liked, but we hope you can all enjoy some rest, peace and goodwill.

Our office is closed on Christmas Day, but our phones and on call team remain available.

On Friday and Saturday, our Abbotswell Crescent office will be open in the morning.

Our website contains a free of charge "Record of Wishes" form to help those who want to layout their funeral wishes ahead of time. It can be downloaded from the page shown.

This is an ideal way to record your wishes if a formal pre-paid plan is not the right choice for you at this time. You can record more or less information than the form covers, but hopefully this will help you get started.

If you would like further information or help, just call or message us.

Are you considering a prepaid funeral plan? Contact Mark Shaw Funeral Services. We are Appointed Representatives for Golden Charter pre-paid funeral plans
