As I step away from my role as your local Funeral Director, I am pleased to recommend a colleague who is launching a new Funeral Service, based in Seahouses.

Keith Slater comes with a wealth of experience and a compassionate approach to his work. Having worked closely with Keith over the past few years, I have witnessed his dedication, professionalism, and deep understanding of the care required during such sensitive times.

May I wish Keith all the best in his future career.

Dear Friends and Neighbours,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. After much contemplation, I am writing to share some personal news: I will be retiring from my role as your local funeral director, at the end of November.

For the past 25 years, it has been my honour to serve our community during some of life’s most challenging moments. Each family I have had the privilege to assist has left a lasting impact on me. Your confidence in me has been the foundation of my work, having entrusted me to look after your loved ones at saddest moments.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives. I will carry the memories created with me into retirement.

Warm regards,




Mr Alan D. Haile
Alan D. Haile Funeral Services.

A message from the team of Alan D Haile Funeral Services:

25 years ago, on the 27th August 1999, Alan took over the reins of Hanvey’s Funeral Services, which today is known as Alan D Haile Funeral Services. Over the years, the business has grown and expanded, giving Alan the opportunity to help many families through their toughest of times. Throughout this period he has met and worked alongside some dear friends for life.

As you can imagine, it takes a particular character to be able to take on the role of Funeral Director. Alan has always ensured that he and his team deliver a respectful and professional service for all families from their first point of contact. His personal, supportive approach is a true reflection of his personality both in the office and out.

We would like to congratulate Alan on this accomplishment and wish him a continued success. Thank you for the guidance and values you have instilled on your staff.

We hope that The Memory Tree has brought comfort to family and friends within the community. This is the second year that the tree has been in place and we hope to continue this tradition as a way for people to remember their loved ones at Christmas time.

The tree will remain in place until 6th January (Saturday morning). For anyone who would like to collect their baubles, please come along before this time. If you are unable to retrieve your baubles by this point, they will be stored in the foyer of Alan D Haile Funeral Services for collection.

Thank you again from Alan and all the staff here at the Funeral services.

Please feel free to write a message on our baubles and hang on our Christmas tree in memory of a loved one.

Here at Alan D. Haile Funeral Services, we would like to introduce Alan’s son, Jonathan - our newest trained funeral director.

Many people will know Jonny, as he has assumed different roles within the company for many years such as under bearer and limousine driver. He has also been with us full time since September 2021, working closely with Alan and Sally-Ann to provide the best service.

After complying with all requirements, regulations and completing in-house training, Jonny is following his father’s footsteps into the family business.
