William Purves will display the Golden Charter Funeral Plans seal in our branch windows across the UK.

For us, it shows that we’re part of a nationwide network of independent funeral directors who share the same standards of care and professionalism.

When families see the seal, they know they can rely on us - a local, independent business supported by one of the UK’s largest funeral plan providers.

With branches in both Scotland and England, we are delighted that our communities north and south of the border can look forward to supporting their nation at the 2026 FIFA World Cup after tonight's monumental victory for the Scots.

Well done to Scotland National Team, and England football team on their qualification.

As funeral directors, we're shocked and saddened to hear stories of families not receiving the care they deserve when they lose a loved one.

We're encouraged to see that the UK Government is making positive steps towards regulation south of the border in the funeral sector.

William Purves can reassure families that we fully support regulation in the funeral industry and maintain the highest standards of care across our regions.
