About Us

D.G. Lockhart Funeral Directors was founded in 1991 by Gordon Lockhart. Gordon and his wife Jan served the local community for over 30 years, before retiring in 2024. The business changed hands and was taken over by long term employee, Rachael Miller.

Rachael & the team ensure the consistency, professionalism and "heart" of the business remains, whilst bringing a modern, empathetic approach to D.G. Lockhart Funeral Directors.
