Robert Samson Funeral Directors, based in Broughty Ferry, Dundee, has been serving families with compassion and professionalism since 1913. Founded by Robert Samson, a joiner by trade who began making coffins and conducting funerals for his customers, the business has grown through multiple generations of the Samson family. Over the decades, the company expanded its services, acquiring James L Wallace in Dundee in 1965, and eventually focusing solely on funeral services from 1975 onwards.
In 2015, the family sought a like-minded partner to carry on their legacy, finding a natural fit with William Purves — a company with over five generations of experience in premier funeral services. Today, Robert Samson operates as part of the William Purves Group, maintaining its core values of compassion, dedication, integrity and respect while continuing to support bereaved families in Broughty Ferry and the wider Dundee area.
The five-strong team at Robert Samson are committed to ensuring that every funeral is unique and special, guiding families through bereavement with sensitivity and care. They are members of both NAFD and SAIF, reflecting their commitment to professional standards. Families are welcome to reach out at any time, whether before or immediately after a bereavement, as the team is always on hand to offer guidance and reassurance.
"Stephen provided professional advise with a personal touch. This meant a lot during time of grief."
