Cemeteries, crematorium and war memorials

Losing a loved one is probably the hardest thing any of us will ever have to face. South Lanarkshire Council has a number of services available to commemorate their life and hopefully make their passing that bit easier.

We have compiled a bereavement information pack which provides most of the details you need to organise a burial or cremation and outlines your rights. To access this, click on view publications on the left and use the bereavement information pack link.

For all funeral and crematorium bookings and enquiries contact Bereavement services or use the links below to obtain more details.

Alternatively, if you wish to comment on the service you have already received, please use the view survey link on the left to access our online survey. Bereavement services strive to provide an efficient and compassionate service and use customer feedback to improve the services we deliver. In September 2009, we received 21 completed surveys and of that 94.12% thought the friendliness and knowledge of our staff (attitude/sensitivity) was good or excellent, 94.74% thought the presentation of the cemeteries/crematorium was good or excellent and 95% were satisfied with the overall quality of the service provided.
