George Scott and Son is a family-owned Bournemouth funeral director founded in 1899 and now run by its fifth generation, with Neil Scott (great-grandson of founder George Scott) managing the business alongside his mother Judith. The firm is explicit that it is "not a national chain," and operates three funeral homes across Boscombe, Charminster and Kinson, including the Somerset Funeral Home.
Services cover the full range of funeral arrangements, coffins and caskets, cremation and burial, memorial selection, floral tributes via local florists, pre-paid funeral plans (through Golden Charter, FCA-regulated) and online tributes. The business fields a fleet of Jaguar hearses and limousines and serves Bournemouth, Poole and the surrounding Dorset area.
The firm markets itself on "plain prices" with a published price list and free, no-obligation guidance, and holds NAFD and SAIF membership. Its standardised price list page currently states figures are "being updated," with callers directed to phone for current pricing.
