We are truly humbled and incredibly proud to share that we have been named finalists at the Scottish Funeral Awards 2026.
This year, we have been shortlisted for:
• Best Funeral Director
• Best Care Team
• Scotland’s Best Family-Owned Business
To be recognised for the third year in a row is something we don’t take lightly. Every day, we are invited into people’s lives at their most difficult and vulnerable moments — and to be trusted with that responsibility is something we carry with great care and respect.
This recognition isn’t just ours — it belongs to every family who has allowed us to stand beside them, to guide them, and to look after their loved one as if they were our own.
Following on from Alistair being honoured with Scotland’s Young Funeral Director of the Year, this feels especially meaningful. It reflects not only the journey we’ve been on, but the values we hold close as a family business — compassion, dignity, and unwavering support.
To the Isle of Bute and further afield — thank you for your continued trust and support. It means more than words can ever express and to say we are truly humbled by the on going support and nominations is an understatement.
