Location

Fountainbridge Funerals

Our Fountainbridge office is a listed Georgian building just off Lothian Road, close to Edinburgh city centre. There is parking available at a nearby car park and also at a local supermarket.

We have strong ties with the area, as it was the location of St Cuthbert’s Co-operative’s first shop in 1859 and was home to Scotmid’s head office until 2005.

We’re available 24 hours a day to assist you on the telephone, with our office open from 09:00 to 17:00 Monday to Friday.

Scotmid Funerals are members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), and we’re proud to be recommended by The Good Funeral Guide, a trusted resource for independent funeral advice.

“All went smoothly. The arrangements were easy and the staff helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Gillian was very pleasant and easy to deal with. The actual funeral went without a hitch and all involved saw to all our needs. Thank you for the excellent service you provided. VB”

The Team

Christine Crompton, Funeral Director
Christine Crompton
Funeral Director

Originally from Glasgow, I moved to Edinburgh to pursue a career in the hospitality industry. I am passionate about customer care, so I enjoy being a Funeral Director so much now.

I live with my partner Allister in Midlothian and have one daughter, Suzanne. Previously I lived in a rural small holding and had numerous animals, a beloved Bernese Mountain Dog called Belle, a bearded collie, three cats, two pigs and Mr Poppy a house rabbit.

Outside of work I enjoy cycling and have completed many cycling challenges for our nominated charity, including many Pedal for Scotland ( 47 miles from Glasgow to Edinburgh), Edinburgh Night-ride ( 50 miles around Edinburgh on Midsummer Evening) and part of The Great Tour of Britain which was 70 miles from St Andrews to Musselburgh. I also enjoy hill climbing and would love to bag lots of Munros in the near future.

Chris Armstrong
Funeral Manager

I began working with Scotmid in 2000 as a Funeral Operative and progressed to Funeral Director, Senior Funeral Director and to my current role of Funeral Manager. I started at Fountainbridge then our main office and am now based at Angle Park.

Born and bred in Edinburgh I previously worked for The Department of Work and Pensions until I found my real passion in the Funeral Industry. I have never looked back and believe I am very lucky to hold such an important role in the local community. I find my role extremely rewarding when assisting families in their time of need.
