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.

Could not fault the excellent service we received from Andy and his team at Rosebank. Every detail requested was executed with dignity and ease and made a very difficult experience much easier to deal with. Additional mention to Jordan for matching uniforms to my late husbands football colours, a lovely touch which would of made him very happy. Thank you all again.

What an experience Funeral Directors should be professional kind and compassionate to the deceased and family.
Only two staff Julia and Andy showed professionalism kindness and cared.
Other staff need to work alongside them to see what professionalism is.
Our dad passed away on the 7th February 2026, I made a telephone call to Gordon and Watson Rosebank Place Aberdeen to inform of dads passing around 12:20hrs office closing at 13:00hrs, staff would come to dad's house to transfer to the funeral home, staff duly came informed dad was going to be transferred to another funeral home for a sleepover and Gordon and Watson staff would transfer dad to their care on Monday morning.
At this time my contact details were given to the staff.
Staff advised us to close the curtains so we could not see dad leaving his house my sister said if the neighbours could see dad leaving so could we see him leaving.
Monday 9th February I called Gordon and Watson at lunchtime to see if dad was in the care of themselves, so glad you have called we have no contact details for you.
We were able to arrange the funeral on Thursday 12th assisted by Julia who was kind caring and knowledgeable. During this time Julia explained we could have fingerprints and locks of hair were asked for two sets this was clearly written down.
Monday 16th February dad still not ready for us to come and see he was not embalmed as this has to be a scheduled appointment and the embalmer was off on Friday, 10 days for embalming to take place. After being informed dad had not been placed in his coffin as staff were out on jobs and this will be done when they return to the funeral home, we received a call on Tuesday 17th February to inform dad now ready we made an appointment to come at 13:30 as we were nearby. On arrival the main door to the funeral home was open we entered and rang the bell inside a female staff member came out asking how we got in the door should be closed at all times no hello or how are you both,or can I help you
We went to see dad the room door didn't close from the outside anyone passing could see into the room. We dropped off photographs these were returned while we were with dad could this be done after family have completed the time spent with their loved one?
Family called on the 17th February to make appointment alas this was not recorded when they arrived on the 18th dad not ready for them to see.
Friday 20th we had booked appointment for the morning during this time Andy family member wished to purchase a memorial pin Andy came to assist this was given as curtesy of Gordon and Watson this was through Andy care and compassion appreciated by the family.
21st 22nd February await call from the funeral director for a time dad would be arriving at his house on Monday around 16:45 on Sunday I called Gordon and Watson to find information on dad's arrival to his house staff out on jobs will call later around 17:40 call received time relayed and wrong route given to us for dads arrival back to Gordon and Watson Rosebank Place Aberdeen.
23rd February family arrived at Gordon and Watson at 10:20amm service at 11:00am this would of been a good time for the family to be briefed on the carrying of dad there is a family room available this was not the case in the quietness of the room mourners were hearing the information to the family on how to carry dad this was brought to our attention after the service all we could do was apologise to people for this.
24th February we went to settle the account we asked for dad's hair and fingerprints staff member went to get this for us however a long wait ensued. James the manager came to speak to us to inform that staff had failed to obtain the fingerprints and had failed. James listened to our experience of how what happened while dad was in the care of Gordon and Watson he apologised for the failings, James has made contact to inform that changes are being made too late for dad and our family. Hopefully the changes are made and staff are all customer focused in the future.

From start to finish their service was impeccable, caring, professional and kind. I couldn't have asked for more support and comfort at such a difficult time. Jules and Kevin were excellent. Thank you.
