We will provide full support to the family of the deceased. We have all relevant contacts with local authorities, churches, clergy, humanists, hospitals, procurators fiscal, doctors, police, hotels, florists, AV suppliers and other agencies that may be involved at a time of bereavement and we will liaise with them on your behalf.
