Funerals are for families.

And for yours, it might include a much-loved pet.

Ask us about possibilities to include them on the day, as we understand the important role they play at a difficult time.

Delighted to see our Land Rover Defender Hearse out on a funeral, looking right at home against the backdrop of the Eildon Hills.

Thank you to the Borders Crematorium for capturing this moment.

Every goodbye should feel just right for the person you're remembering. At Borders Crematorium, we’re all about adapting to what matters most to you—whether that’s the little details or the big ones.

We recently had a service that featured a Land Rover Hearse from William Purves Funeral Directors, which added a really personal touch. It’s moments like these that help make each farewell feel truly unique and meaningful.

Employee wellbeing is a priority for our Chief Culture Officer, Colin Brown, who contributes to today's issue of The Herald with his article "Why funeral directors need grief 'first aid' training".

Although grief is a burden carried by the affected families first and foremost, we acknowledge that it is shared in part by our funeral directors who witness their sadness first-hand.

A truly one-of-a-kind creation - where funeral directors and Land Rover specialists came together to design something both meaningful and practical.

Our customised Land Rover Defender hearse features a lowered deck, allowing families a clear and full view of floral tributes and the coffin alike.
