Well folks, today I had the honour of taking Helena Buchanan on her final journey from Macgregors Funeral Directors, St Andrews, to the fabulous Brewsterwells Crematorium. There was no one following the hearse, as Helena had no family, but her friends were waiting at Brewsterwells to witness her arrival. She always liked to make an entrance, being involved in her local musical society. She will be much missed by her dear friends. Rest in Peace Helena. Many thanks to James and the team at Macgregors and Lauren at Brewsterwells for their respectful service.

Rest in Peace Mr Watson and ride free. Many thanks to Owen and the team at Strang & Maclagan.
