The funeral service will be held at Mortonhall Crematorium, 30B Howden Hall Rd, Edinburgh EH16 6TX at 11:00am Friday 2nd October 2026
Susan did not want a black and white funeral and wanted everyone to be comfortable and wear either pink to represent her links to Breast cancer or bright colours of your choice.
No flowers please but given the tremendous support the staff at the Cancer Centre have given the family we would invite you to make a donation to.

Susan, you were truly one of a kind. You opened your arms, home and heart to me. You were an amazing Foster Mum to me, guiding me through life's trials and tribulations. I will forever be grateful for you being in my life and I will forever be thankful that I got to experience what a good mum was in you. You always said to me, \"It's never goodbye, it's I'll see you soon\". So I will see you soon but for now, it's time to rest in eternal peace.
I will forever love and miss you. May you rest in Eternal Peace. My thoughts go out to my Foster Dad and my Foster siblings.
With deepest sympathy and love during this time,
Terri, Gary and family.

Frequently asked questions

How can we prepare an obituary?
When we meet, we can explore your preferred wording for an obituary which can be published on our website, Facebook pages, for a card in our branch window and traditional newspaper notices. We can book and coordinate these for you including collate the messages left for you to reflect at a later date.
What to wear to a funeral
Our advice is simple – respect the request made by the family or the person who’s passed. In the absence of a specific rule, consider the person’s age and style to determine what may be appropriate.
How long does a service last?
Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.
How to send condolences
You don’t need to have a deep or long-standing relationship to send a condolence message. Typically, messages are issued quite quickly in response to an announcement. They acknowledge what’s happened, provide comfort and show the recipient that others care about them during a difficult time.
Where should I sit?
Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.
Where should I send flowers?
Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
