Caledonia funeral aid is a charity owned operated social enterprise

Our vision is for a Scotland where everyone can afford a dignified funeral, personal to their needs.

We support bereaved families who have experienced a loss, especially those facing poverty. Use this website for ideas and to learn your rights.

We also can help arrange a caring and dignified direct cremation through our not-for-profit funeral director Caledonia Cremation (click here for that service).

Our team are compassionate, friendly and will help you for as long as it takes.

If you would rather speak to someone, then please do give our team a call on 03000 11 33 01 or email caledonia@funerals.scot but please note that we rely on donation for the service and can only open some hours for advice.
