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.

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.
