A huge congratulations to our eight graduates in this year’s NAFD (National Association of Funeral Directors) Diploma in Funeral Directing as published in this month’s Funeral Director Monthly.

This year, William Purves employees made up almost a third of the graduate roll. From William Purves: Emma Bertram, Jamie Reece, Jonathan Scott, Mark Sutherland, Ben Thomson, and Graeme Whitlie. In Jedburgh, Zoe Turnbull represented Oliver & Sons and in Hawick, Aidan Reilly from John Beattie & Sons.

Also from John Beattie & Sons, Jamie Beattie graduated with his Diploma in Funeral Arranging and Administration.

We’re delighted for all nine graduates who can look forward to a study-free summer.
