our premises
Our purpose-built premises have been serving the Moray community since 1982. Centrally and conveniently located in Elgin Town Centre.
Family pride
If you have ever attended one of our services you will know that we take a good deal of pride in the facilities that we offer. Whether it is cleaning and waxing down the cars, vacuuming the floors or freshening up the flowers in and around the forecourt, our commitment to maintaining a first-class service is certainly a ‘hands-on’ matter.
Purpose-built in 1982, our premises enjoy a convenient location in Elgin town centre and feature a privately operated chapel, parking for up to 40 vehicles and a Family Room for use by loved ones prior to a service.
Fully air-conditioned chapel
Our handsomely appointed chapel is fully air-conditioned and is available to host both religious services and non-religious ceremonies. Seating for 170 people is provided. A covered outdoor area can easily accommodate another 50 people standing.
Services are relayed via speakers, with facilities for organ music, CD, tape or MP3 provided as required. An audio induction loop is available for the hard-of-hearing.
A modern central heating system means we have precise control over temperature whatever the season and the ‘two-way’ chapel glazing allows families total privacy.
Convenient location
Our premises can be found opposite Elgin Bus Station and within walking distance of the High Street, Registrars, Florists, Banks and Solicitors.
Our vehicles

We stock truly eco coffins for burial or cremation, these are made from solid pine from a Scottish sustainable forest, water-based products are used in the manufacture and the handles are of natural fibre.
Optional Hearses
No funeral director in Moray owns a Horse Drawn Carriage Hearse or a Motorcycle Hearse with a Side-Car, but all can easily be arranged.
