Jardine Funeral Directors

12/02/2026

At Jardine Funeral Directors, we believe families deserve clear information - no gimmicks, no jargon, no glossy marketing campaigns.

Direct Cremation is not for everyone; there is no funeral service and research shows that when a family member has chosen this option, relatives can experience serious distress and trauma at being denied the opportunity to attend a funeral ceremony for their loved one.

However, if you do wish to consider a Direct Cremation, in Dumfries & Galloway, Jardines are one of several trusted, independent Funeral Directors who offer this for under £1700.

✔️ Your loved one is cared for locally
✔️ They remain in our own professional care facilities
✔️ Cremation takes place at Roucan Loch
✔️ You deal directly with experienced, regulated professionals

It’s personal. It’s transparent. It’s carried out with dignity and respect.

Some national companies advertising heavily on TV may sound appealing, but they’re not always cheaper - often more expensive - and the cremation is not carried out locally but many miles away. The care, facilities and contact aren’t always clear for families and their loved ones.

Jardine Funeral Directors believe that a funeral should be personal and sincere. Without face to face support the bereaved can feel lost; with it you can focus on remembering, grieving and celebrating a life well lived, knowing that every detail is handled with care, compassion and professionalism.

We are proud to have served the local community since 1862.
No multi-million-pound campaigns - just a trusted, honest, local service when you need it most.

We bring knowledge, experience and calm when everything feels overwhelming, helping you to shape a meaningful goodbye.

Have you seen the white "Lights of Hope" along the Whitesands in Dumfries, around the river and on some of the bridges? The concept was devised and sponsored by Mark Jardine of The People’s Project Charity, with the lights being switched on every evening in December, January and February to spread some cheer, as a beacon of light and hope in the darkest days of the year.
Mark said: “Many people find it hard to cope with those dark, bleak months which are a challenge to many. Mental health is something no-one should take for granted and with the Lights of Hope, we want to brighten the environment and breathe life into people’s spirits in the process.”

New Year can be challenging for many people, particularly if you’ve recently lost a loved one.

Everyone is talking about fresh starts.
New goals.
New energy.
New chapters.

And you’re standing there thinking about who won’t be here to see it.

There’s a strange ache that comes with turning the page on a year that held so much love and loss at the same time.
Because part of you wants to move forward.
And part of you feels guilty for doing so.

You’re not just leaving a year behind.
You’re leaving the last one that still had them in it.

The last texts.
The last holidays.
The last ordinary days you didn’t know were “lasts.”

So if New Year’s feels quieter for you, heavier, or bittersweet, you’re not doing it wrong.
Grief doesn’t follow calendars.
It doesn’t reset at midnight.

It just comes with you.

And somehow, you learn to carry both.
The hope of what’s ahead
and the love you refuse to let go of.

Memories don’t get left behind with the old year.
They go with you into the next one.
