John Bald Funeral Directors

John Bald Funeral Directors has cared for families in Dunbar and the wider East Lothian area for more than fifty years. When its founder retired, the practice passed to new ownership on the understanding it would remain independent rather than join one of the national chains, and it now forms part of A & A Doyle Ltd, the family firm founded by Awdri and Allan Doyle in 2012. The Doyles built their reputation on a simple guiding principle: treating every family as if they were their own.

Beyond Dunbar, the wider A & A Doyle network operates offices in Galashiels and Gorebridge in the Scottish Borders, giving the group a presence that stretches from the Borders into East Lothian while each branch is still run on a personal, local footing. The firm is a member of both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD, membership no. 3017) and the Scottish Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF, no. 2410), is listed with the Good Funeral Guide, and is registered with the Information Commissioner's Office.

The team offers home visits for arrangement meetings and round-the-clock support for bereaved families, with clients describing the service as attentive to the small personal touches that make a funeral feel individual rather than routine.
