Guidance through regulations and personalisation

Every cemetery, churchyard and crematorium has specific rules about the size, style and type of memorial headstones permitted. We take the stress out of this by checking and organising all necessary permissions on your behalf.

Whether you are looking for a simple, elegant stone or a more individual bespoke memorial, our experienced staff are here to listen, advise and guide you.

Our goal is always to make sure your memorial complies with regulations while truly reflecting the personality and life of your loved one in a respectful and meaningful way.

I would like to highly recomend william lauderdale funeral directors for a first class professional service. They guide you through the entire difficult process of organising a funreal with a great deal of compassion care and understanding. Any queries were always responded to very quickly often out of normal office hours and william and his staff were all exceptionally friendly calm and patient. Cannot recomend this company enough to others in their time of need.

I would just like to thank W. Lauderdale & Son Funeral Services for the outstanding service they provided when my Dad suddenly passed away earlier this year. William, Shauna and the full team couldn’t have been any more professional. The team were on hand to help with everything we needed to arrange. They took care of everything at a very stressful time for us and understood the importance of organising the funeral to fit my dad’s wishes and to reflect his personality. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them

Lauderdale's provided funeral on 23rd August 2021 after the passing of my dad. Could not have asked for more, compassionate, friendly, understanding but always professional. They took away most of the stress of the arrangements and made a very difficult day a little bit easier. Cannot thank William and his staff enough for helping to give my dad a send off he would have been proud of. Highly recommended to anyone.
