James Scott Funeral Directors
At James Scott Funeral Directors, we serve families with the greatest care, from our funeral directors in Edinburgh.
About us
We are James Scott Funeral Directors, serving families from our funerals homes in Edinburgh. We understand that life with those you love is deeply personal, so it is a privilege to honour the final wishes of families as they say farewell to their loved ones. Our community is very special to us, and we are proud to have such close ties with many places of worship, ministers and local businesses in Edinburgh.
We cater for funerals of all faiths and cultures, burial and cremation services, and non-religious funerals. If an alternative funeral is most fitting, then we can arrange for bespoke services, such as woodland burials, green funerals and burials at sea. We are also here to give you careful guidance wherever it is needed, such help with what to do when someone dies, legal advice, and emotional support. Your wellbeing is paramount to us, and we will do everything we can to make a difficult time a little easier for you.
