John Porterfield
Lothians Funeral Celebrant
All legal Covid restrictions have now been removed by the Scottish Government. There is no legal requirement to wear face coverings at Crematoria, however you can still wear a mask if it is your preference. You may find that crematorium staff will still wear masks, and hand sanitiser will still be available. Although the restrictions have been removed, Covid is still very much with us, so please continue to take the precautions that you feel comfortable with.
If you are comfortable with me visiting you at home to arrange the funeral service for your loved one, I will do so. Please let me know when I call to arrange this if there are any precautions you would like me to take during my visit.
​
I understand that some people may still be wary of having anyone out with their family circle in their home, and if this is the case, I will be happy to do this remotely by phone and on line.
​
Although the restrictions are no longer in place, Covid 19 is still with us, and we can't afford to get complacent. Keep on practicing all the necessary hygiene routines, wash your hands regularly, and consider wearing a face covering in indoor venues.
