Andy, I am so very sorry for your loss. Jan will be so missed by all her friends and colleagues that worked alongside her at the bank. She always brought the fun and a little touch of naughtiness which we all loved her for. Sending love to you, beautiful Fern and Grace and all of the wider family xxx

Dear Andy I was so saddened to hear of your beloved Jan’s passing from a fellow Edinburgh Grand friend. My interest in your loving family has been through Barbara with whom I sang for years. Her wonderful family messages on Facebook have always been a delight to catch up on and so I can understand the dreadful loss that you all are facing at this time. I send my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy. Kindest regards, Jan Robertson

It is so difficult to find the words to express the loss of a most beautiful, clever, witty friend who was motivated by family . My deepest sympathies go to all those who loved Jan best and especially to Andy, Fern and Grace and also to Jan’s parents, siblings and parents in law . Hopefully the passage of time will give way to a treasure chest of wonderful, happy memories . Sleep tight my dear friend xxxxx

I’m so sorry for your loss, Jan would call me her “wee pal” the memories I have working with Jan I will cherish, not a week went by without us catching up. Jan always had a way of making me laugh, she was incredibly strong, bright, super confident & immensely proud of her family. Jan wasn’t just a work colleague, she was my friend, I'm going to miss her dearly. Sending so much love to Andy, Fern & Grace & all of the family, Cat Xx

To All Jan's family and freinds, I can't comprehend the shock ypu must be feeling at such a young and sudden loss. As a family freind I have watched Jan grow from a young kid into a loving mother and wife, living her life to the full. She will be missed by many. I urge you at this sad time to recall the joy she brought and remember her fondly as hard as these days are. Apologies I can't make the service but I will contact family in due course. Love to you all. Bob.

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.
