William Purves Funeral Directors

Description

William Purves Funeral Directors has provided a dedicated service to local communities in and around Edinburgh since 1888. We know many of the families we've arranged funerals for. We have given them sympathy, advice and help with a high degree of personal support.

When a loved one has recently passed away, many people find it hard to cope with practical necessities. We can help. We've carried out many responsibilities, from arranging the funeral to organising funeral notices and flowers.

We believe only an independent family funeral directors, with its roots in the community, can offer this service with such understanding and commitment.

William Purves founded his business in Marchmont, Edinburgh in 1888. The principles on which he founded his business have not changed. He was familiar with the pain and grief of bereavement, the sense of bewilderment and loss. He knew that time will tend such wounds; and that great sympathy, sound advice and practical help may help start the healing process.

Today his firm, now in it's fifth generation, is one of the few privately owned and run family funeral directors remaining in Edinburgh.

William Purves Ltd is a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD). As members we are required to abide by the code of practice laid down by the association.
