Trotman Funeral Directors

Interesting news coming out of Scotland. We at Trotman and Forsey and Son are always advocating for consumer choice and this development will provide families with another option for their loved one.

The process - called alkaline hydrolysis - will offer families a third option instead of burial or traditional cremation.

🌿 A new report by SAIF and Funeral Solution Expert shows that independent funeral directors offer better value and care than national chains.

While big brands have raised prices, independent firms have lowered theirs, and nearly half of families say they’d choose a local, independent funeral director they know and trust.

At Trotman we’re proud to keep offering fair prices, personal service and local care when it matters most.
