William Purves Funeral Directors has been family run for five generations, growing to around 30 branches across Scotland and northern England, from the Borders and Edinburgh up to Dundee, St Andrews and Northumberland, with its registered office at Oakvale Funeral Home in Edinburgh. The Penicuik branch, on John Street, covers Penicuik and neighbouring Midlothian communities including Loanhead, Roslin, Auchendinny, Howgate, West Linton and Rosewell.
The company offers burial, cremation and personalised ceremonies, along with casket selection, catering, floral arrangements, repatriation and bereavement support. A free "Plan of Wishes" tool, built around a 20-point checklist, helps families set out their wishes in advance, and fixed-fee pre-paid funeral plans are available to guard against rising costs.
William Purves is registered in Scotland and is a member of both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the Society of Allied Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), maintaining standardised, transparent pricing across its branches, a fleet of Mercedes hearses and limousines, and 24-hour emergency availability.
