Wilson, Craig and family wish to thank all relatives and friends for the many cards, letters and expressions of care, sympathy and support received following the death of Dorothy. It is also of comfort to know how much her contribution to the music scene was acknowledged by so many fellow musicians, pupils and their parents.
Our sincere thanks to Rev Rhona Cathcart for conducting the service and all who were able to attend from both near and far. We greatly appreciate the comfort of your presence and on behalf of the Friends of Anchor, express thanks for your generous donations. We would like to thank Ian and Sharon of Eric P Massie Funeral Directors for their kindly guidance and organisation, to Doreen of Floral Design, Inverurie for the lovely floral tributes which incorporated a miniature violin and Ferguson tartan and to staff at The Hopeville Social Club for the tea, enjoyed to the background of The Garioch Fiddlers music

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.
