Funeral Directors Dunfermline

When we lose a loved one, the first call is often the hardest one to make. Our Dunfermline funeral home is on Nethertown Broad Street, a short walk from the Abbey and Pittencrieff Park, and there is always someone here to answer the phone. Call us on 01383 690112, 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

We moved a short distance from Bridge Street to Nethertown Broad Street so that families have access to modern care and viewing facilities in one central place. The same team cares for you, and any funeral plan you already hold is unaffected.

We look after families across Dunfermline, Rosyth, Inverkeithing, Dalgety Bay, Cowdenbeath, Crossford, Townhill, Halbeath and the surrounding villages, whether you need us today or you are planning ahead for the future.

Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm for appointments, and we are always happy to visit you at home instead if that would be easier.

The funeral services we offer in Dunfermline

Every funeral we arrange from Dunfermline is different, because every family is. These are the main choices families make with us:

• Cremation funerals: a full service at a church, chapel or crematorium, followed by the committal. Most families we care for choose Dunfermline Crematorium.
• Burial funerals: a service followed by burial in a local cemetery. We can help you buy a new lair or arrange interment in an existing family lair.
• Direct cremation: an unattended cremation with no service, from £1,449. Many families then hold their own memorial gathering later, in their own time.
• Simple funeral: everything you need for a dignified service and nothing you do not, from £2,199.
• Children’s funerals: we make no charge for our services when a child is lost, and crematorium and burial fees for children are met by the Scottish Government.
• Pre-paid funeral plans: arrange and pay for your own funeral now, at today’s prices.

Whatever you choose, our Dunfermline team handles the paperwork, liaises with the crematorium, cemetery, doctors and Registrar, brings your loved one into our care at any hour, and stays with you from the first phone call to the day itself.

Worried about paying? Many families in Fife are eligible for the Scottish Government’s Funeral Support Payment, and we can help you apply. See support with funeral costs, or simply ask us. We would far rather have that conversation early than have you worry alone.

Pre-paid funeral plans in Dunfermline

A funeral plan lets you decide what you want, pay at today’s prices, and spare your family both the cost and the guesswork. We offer four:

Simple Plan	£3,570	A straightforward cremation service with a contribution to third party costs

Signature Plan	£4,375	A full traditional funeral with two limousines and a guaranteed cremation contribution
