Funeral directors in Glenrothes

Glenrothes is a planned town in central Fife and home to the Fife Council headquarters at Fife House. Three funeral directors trade in or around Glenrothes, including a small village firm at Coaltown of Balgonie that trades under the Glenrothes name.

Cremations from Glenrothes go either to Kirkcaldy Crematorium on Hendry Road (KY2 5LF) or occasionally to Dunfermline Crematorium, depending on family preference and availability. Both are about 20–25 minutes' drive from the town centre. The cremation fee is paid separately to Fife Council.

Deaths in Glenrothes are registered at Glenrothes Registration Office, Fife House, North Street, Glenrothes, KY7 5LT. Booking is by phone — Fife Council's central booking line is 03451 55 00 77. The death must be registered within eight days. For a step-by-step walk-through of the first 48 hours, see what to do when someone dies.

For burials, the main local cemeteries are Glenrothes Cemetery on Pitcoudie, and the smaller cemeteries at Markinch, Leslie, and Coaltown of Balgonie. Lair purchase is arranged through Fife Council Bereavement Services. Several families choose direct cremation instead, which removes the burial-plot decision entirely.
