  • Personalised and attentive Professional Care: Should you choose Hester & Lalli, you can be guaranteed around the clock service 7 days a week.

  • Independent Run Funeral Service: A lot of the funeral directors available have over time sold their businesses to larger run conglomerates. Although these services offer the same options, we personalise the service and our clients place their trust in our local run service which is evident in the words of our past clients.

  • Highest Standards of Care: We have a vast wealth of experience to maintain our high standards of service which we strive to achieve with each family we deal with. Our person-centred care approach means each family is unique.

  • Competitive Value for Money: As we are an independently run establishment, we are enabled to be one of the most competitively priced funeral services within our neighbouring areas, with packages and plans available to meet all needs and make this difficult time as affordable and manageable for our clients as can be.

  • Pride in what we do: We ensure our attention is solely concentrated on satisfying the needs of our customer’s and not those of shareholders.

  • There are no Hidden Costs: People often worry that using a funeral provider means uncertainty about what everything will cost. Not at Hester & Lalli. We promise to inform you before we begin and to keep you informed throughout. If you instruct us to perform a funeral for you, you will always be kept informed of costs in a clear and easily understandable way. It is as simple and as important as that. With Funeral Care Scotland, the only surprise that you will have is that there is no surprise.
