You have to be in the room when a sector as traditional as ours contemplates the future.

As a company, we give time and space for individuals to shape decisions that require many hours of meetings, networking, and leadership, often after a busy day helping families.

Over the weekend, Gary Staker took on the National Presidency of the Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF independent funeral directors), and weโ€™re delighted to congratulate him on this appointment. In this role, Gary โ€”pictured on the left with our CEO and the Scottish National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) President, Tim Purvesโ€”represents our company and many others striving to uphold the highest standards of funeral care for families throughout the country.
