Dear Friends and Neighbours,

I hope this letter finds you in good spirits. After much contemplation, I am writing to share some personal news: I will be retiring from my role as your local funeral director, at the end of November 2024.

For the past 25 years, it has been my honour to serve our community during some of life’s most challenging moments. Each family I have had the privilege to assist has left a lasting impact on me. Your confidence in me has been the foundation of my work, having entrusted me to look after your loved ones at saddest moments. 

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives. I will carry the memories created with me into retirement.

Warm regards,

Mr Alan D. Haile

Alan D. Haile Funeral Services.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________

Alan D. Haile Funeral Services has been owned and managed by Alan Haile since 1999, and during that time has adapted and expanded to respond to the needs and wishes of the deceased and their loved ones.

 

All arrangements are professionally and personally carried out by Alan, helped by his secretary/administrator and a team of experienced drivers and pall bearers . This ensures that someone is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to provide care, support, advice and reassurance alongside the practical arrangements needed when death occurs.

 

We are available to help and guide you through the procedures, from removal to our private chapel of rest, the registration of death, tailor made funeral plans and floral tributes, church or crematorium bookings, death notices and legal matters, costs and any other requirements. We continue our help afterwards with advice on such matters as memorial stones and acknowledgements, or simply just friendly reassurance.

 

Our company is a member of the Golden Charter funeral plans which can offer plans catering to all price ranges and levels of detail. This gives peace of mind knowing that arrangements and payments have been organised in advance. These plans are covered by Golden Charter yet still allow Alan and his team to provide their own help and advice through personal contact.

 

Alan D. Haile Funeral Services is based in Seahouses, and covers the surrounding areas, also responding countrywide and even internationally. Its professionalism and attention to detail along with a caring attitude has gained a respected reputation.

 

We pride ourselves on our dedicated service before, during and after the funeral, doing our utmost to make a difficult time more bearable.
