Location

Portobello Funerals

Edinburgh’s seaside town of Portobello lies three miles east of the city centre. Our office is on the left as you head east through Portobello High Street. A car park can be found in Bridge Street.

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.

“Everything was taken off us and made the stress of organising a funeral a lot less worrying for myself and my family. The younger members even had the benefit of the announcement for Facebook done for them. The staff at Scotmid were excellent and were above and beyond what we expected. BL”

The Team

Gillian Harvey
Gillian Harvey
Funeral Arranger

I have worked for Scotmid Co-operative Funeral Directors as a Funeral Arranger since 2011 and I find my role very rewarding as I am able to assist families during a very difficult time. It is gratifying when families return as it shows myself and the company to be fulfilling our role as a valued part of the community.

I am from Musselburgh and live with my partner Neil. Previously I worked in Clinical Radiology (CT/MRI) at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary as a Clinical Support Worker and also in the wards at the Western General Hospital.

Outside of work, I enjoy swimming and general exercise, photography, sketching/pastel work. In 2013 I completed the Pedal for Scotland in aid of Prostate Cancer Scotland and aim to take part again this year. I also enjoy walking, music and films.

Funeral Director

Working within the funeral industry is something I have always wanted to do. Therefore I feel extremely privileged to be allowed to help and guide families through a very traumatic time in their lives.

Before joining the Scotmid team I was a self-employed dog groomer. Previous to that I worked in hospitality and catering, I enjoyed working in that industry as it allowed me to offer high-quality customer service and I was able to progress and learn new skills.

I am originally from Tranent but now live in Musselburgh with my partner Angus and our Yorkshire Terrier Ruby. In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with friends, walking and camping whenever I can.

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.
