A heartfelt thank you to all the families who have entrusted their loved ones into our care throughout this past year. It is a privilege we never take lightly, and we are deeply honoured to walk alongside you at some of life’s most difficult moments.

Our thoughts are with every family this Christmas — especially those facing the season with an empty chair, a quieter home, or memories that feel closer at this time of year. Your loved ones are never forgotten, and their stories remain part of us.

As always, we are here for those in need throughout the Christmas period. Should you require support, guidance, or care, please know that you are not alone and that help is available when it is needed most.

As we look ahead to the New Year, we remain committed to providing the highest standard of personal, dignified care that every family deserves, while continuing to support our local community and those who need it most.

Wishing you peace, comfort, and gentle moments of togetherness this Christmas — remembering your loved ones with love in our hearts 🤍

With sincere regards,
D McKellar Funeral Directors

There's no cost for you or your family to get involved and create an online memorial.
We’ll share your candles on our page.
