Great service – C- Edinburgh
The care received from Philip and Janice was outstanding. They both where so compassionate towards us. We have used them before and Philip is amazing at his job would never use anyone else while he’s about. He never makes you feel that your pestering him about anything, always makes the time to help with great advice. All the staff where polite to us and Janice helped so much with the planning of mums funeral. Huge thank you to all the Edinburgh staff who made mums funeral perfect thanks 💕

The Team

Candice Wilson, Funeral Arranger
Candice Wilson
Funeral Arranger

I started my career in the funeral industry in 1997 and over the years, have enjoyed gaining experience in all areas of the business. I achieved Diploma qualifications in both Funeral Directing and Embalming before returning to my first love of Arranging.  I am member of the professional bodies the B.I.F.D and the B.I.E.

I am passionate about learning and customer service, so wanted to pass on my extensive knowledge and experience to other like-minded individuals, which is why I went on to gain a qualification as a National Association of Funeral Directors Approved Tutor, and tutored others in the profession to gain qualifications within the industry.

Before my employment in the funeral industry, I worked in Banking and Insurance which is where I developed my skills in customer care. I am very humbled and privileged in being entrusted by families to help them through their difficult times.

I live in West Edinburgh with my husband and cat and enjoy good food and good company, although at the weekend, I prefer to be away with my family exploring “Bonnie Scotland” in our campervan.

I started my career in July 2001 as a Funeral Service Driver and progressed to a Funeral Operative and then a Funeral Director, it is a very satisfying role and a privilege to help people through a truly difficult time.

I am also very fortunate to work with such caring colleagues who are as passionate about The Funeral Director’s role in the community as I am.

I am originally from Edinburgh and am well known to the west side of the city, I now live in West Lothian with my wife and 3 children who keep me very busy between parental duties and all the activities they have.
