Frequently asked questions
When someone dies, the first steps will depend on how and where the person passed away. Our step-by-step guides will walk you through the practical steps. For additional support and personal advice, please get in touch with us.
You don't have to make an appointment at our funeral homes. However, doing so will ensure that someone can be available to cater to your needs. When arranging a funeral, our Funeral Directors are happy to visit you in your own home, if required.
Third party funeral costs are additional charges which we will manage for you and attach to your single invoice. Get in touch with us to confirm costs and plan a funeral to fit your budget.
If you choose to arrange the funeral with us, you will be given the option of a complimentary Funeral Notice. We will set it up for you using the details discussed during the arrangements. All we need is an email address.
Dignity Funeral Plans let you pay for your funeral in advance and at today's price. It's a way of taking control of the unexpected, setting out the arrangements and limiting the costs by paying for the services included in the funeral plan upfront.
We are a member of the National Association of Funeral Directors and as such we abide by The Funeral Director Code. We also have a legal obligation to try and ensure the person who is arranging a funeral has the right to do so, or has permission from those who do.
If you are aware that someone has been appointed as the administrator, you should only arrange the funeral with this person's agreement.
If there is no Will or Letters of Administration, then the responsibility would pass to the next of kin.
A Memorial is a way of creating a lasting memory to help remember a loved one.

My mum passed away in September 2024.Her final wish was for her body to be donated to science. My mum had Parkinson's disease.
Due to my mum's passing in the early hours she could not be taken in to the care of Aberdeen University and was then entrusted to the care of Gordon and Watson until her final wish be granted.
While my mum was being taken for the final time from her family home, due to the incompetence of the staff attending a large part of the harling on the wall at the door was pulled off of the house. I had already said in the previous phonecall that the steps at the front of the house could pose a difficulty. Both members of staff stood staring blankly at me all while my mum was being moved in to the van. Neither of them said a word.
I had to make a visit to their Rosebank office to be told I had to find two quotes for this damage to be repaired. The grief of loosing my mum and having to deal with these heartless individuals was beyond unbearable.
The amount of people I had to chase for quotes was unbelievable and most either didn't return calls or turn up.
These people are dealing with families at their most vulnerable and broken and they are disgusting considering the profession they are in.
Thankfully I work with a lady who said her husband could fix the damage caused.
Lawson Roughcasting fixed this for me and the job was perfectly done.
The saddest thing for myself and my brother is because of my mum's passing in the early hours, we had no choice but to have these incompetent people involved in her final journey.

My dad passed recently and having no experience in what to do next, I was fortunate enough to use Gordon & Watson in Rosebank, Aberdeen. Ian our funeral arranger was fantastic and helped us through the process. Special mention also to the team on the day who ensured that everything went smoothly. I would thoroughly recommend...
