cousin Jim was a big member of the family and will be sadly missed. He was a great friend to my nana and papa and made us all laugh in his presence. He made the most amazing caramel shortcake even though he had no sense of smell so I will be sending my donations to the hospital in his name. Xx

Sad to hear about the passing of (cousin) Jim. Born, bred and lived all his days in Allars Crescent, Hawick. A nice, kind, gentle person and was always great to socialise and reminisce with over family matters. There's many a wedding cake in Hawick been decorated by his great icing skills. Will miss him dearly, was an honour to have known him so well, from the Murray (Noggin) clan.

Attending a funeral FAQs

View all FAQs >

What should I wear?

We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.

How long does a service last?

Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.

Where should I sit?

Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.

Where should I send flowers?

Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
