With very heavy hearts and surrounded by his loving family, we announce the sad loss of William (Bill) Scott, aged 93 years on Thursday December 5, 2024. Devoted husband of Margaret, dear dad to Charlie and Gary, much loved father in law to Annette, cherished grandad to Laura and Shannon, proud great grandad to Cahlan and a good neighbour and friend to many.
Funeral service to be held in Belhelvie Parish Church on Thursday, December 19 at 1pm, and thereafter to the churchyard. All family and friends are respectfully invited, with donations at the church door if desired in aid of Dementia UK.
Bill was a huge part of all our lives and was loved by so many. He brightened up every room he entered, and we know he would love a splash of colour on the day should you wish to do so.

Attending a funeral FAQs
What should I wear?
We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.
How long does a service last?
Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.
Where should I sit?
Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.
Where should I send flowers?
Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
