Burial Services
The choice between burial and cremation is a very personal one and is often influenced by many factors such as family tradition, religion or the wishes of the person who has died. Our caring and professional team are here to guide you through all the steps and give your loved one the send-off they wanted for the best possible price.
Fosters funerals will provide the following as standard:
- Provision of all Funeral Director services to make the funeral arrangements
- Advice, support and guidance
- Bringing the deceased into our care from anywhere in Scotland
- Provision of fully lined and fitted coffin
- Care and preparation of the deceased (excluding embalming which is available for a small fee).
Choosing a grave
When opting for a burial you will need to think about where this will take place, and unfortunately the price will depend on the location you choose. If there is a grave already in existence that you would like to use, for example, part of a family plot, then we can arrange to use that.
Costs
The costs you need to consider for a burial might include: purchasing a new grave, reopening an existing grave and removal and replacement of existing memorials. Our team can advise you on local charges.
Our Funeral Services
At Fosters we offer a range of funerals to meet your needs. Choose from Traditional, Personalised, Modern, Green or a simple funeral. The one that is right for your loved one usually depends on the quality of coffin you would like and the number of limousines required for the Funeral Cortege.
