Frequently asked questions about funerals in Edinburgh

Is the funeral process different in Scotland compared to England?

The process is broadly similar but there are some legal differences. In Scotland, deaths are registered with the local registrar, and a Certificate of Registration of Death (Form 14) is required before the funeral can take place.

What is a humanist funeral and are they available in Edinburgh?

A humanist funeral is a non-religious service led by a celebrant and personalised to reflect the life of the person who has died. Edinburgh has several experienced humanist celebrants and funeral directors who can arrange this type of service.

How much notice do I need to give a funeral director?

Most funeral directors can begin making arrangements immediately after you contact them. The funeral itself typically takes place 1–3 weeks after death, depending on the availability of the crematorium or burial ground and the completion of any necessary paperwork.
