ABOUT US

 

Frank and Gladys McLean acquired the company in 1959 from William McConachie and Co. and it has continued to be a run as a traditional, family based Funeral Directors and Motor Car Hirer. At that time Frank was dedicated to providing a compassionate service of the highest standard. Because of this, the chapel in Keith was the founding chapel and was dedicated for use in 1968 it also contains a chapel of rest. This was the largest chapel in Scotland at the time, for which there were only two others in existence. This chapel retains many local features, including the floor, which originates from the Aberlour Orphanage (now closed for a number of years)

Philip McLean joined the family business in 1981 and now has overall responsibility for business operations in both Keith and Aberlour.

The chapel in Aberlour is a new branch, which was dedicated in May 2001. This office was opened in response to our continued commitment to quality service in the areas which we are serving. Both chapels have been designed to ensure an ambience of tranquility and peace where families can come and pay their last respects. A large selection of coffins, caskets, granite head stones and other memorials may be viewed in our display room at Aberlour

F.S. McLean and Son are members of the trade bodies N.A.F.D. (National Association of Funeral Directors) and S.A.I.F (Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors) and adhere to their strict code of practices. Philip McLean is now the principle funeral director having taken over from his semi-retired father, Frank, and is supported by his wife, Nicola. Philip also has a company of people including an assistant director and drivers, who as a team, ensure that we continue to provide a high quality service in a sympathetic environment.
