Funeral directors for five generations serving Midlothian communities from our offices in Dalkeith and Penicuik. WIlliam Purves is family owned and run and serves to help families at their time of need by offering 24/7 assistance every day of the year.

Our at-need service starts by bringing a loved one into our care, then guiding families to arrange a funeral, supporting them throughout and after with compassion, dedication, integrity and respect. We know the value of empowering families to saying goodbye with unlimited viewing, celebrating a life well lived with a personal funeral that is memorable and unique, and offering wrap around memorial, keepsakes and bereavement aftercare.

For those wanting to plan ahead, we offer free resources from Thinking Ahead Checklists to online planning tools. Our Dalkeith and Penicuik teams are available Mon-Fri to discuss choices, explore/cost options and advise on prepaid funeral plans.

Lean on our local experience when you need help the most.
