Sturrock, Comb and Davidson is an independent, family-run funeral director serving the communities of Dundee, Angus, Fife, and Perthshire. The South Road branch, located at 135 South Road, Lochee, Dundee, is one of four locations operated by the company, which has a remarkable history spanning over 130 years and five generations of family involvement. The business as it stands today was formed through the amalgamation of two long-standing Dundee funeral companies, with roots tracing back to William Comb's joinery and undertaking business established in Lochee in 1896. The South Road premises have been in use since 1968, offering a modern and comfortable environment in which families are supported with sensitivity and dignity.
The company prides itself on its personal, caring approach, ensuring every funeral is individually arranged to reflect the wishes and needs of the bereaved. Services range from simple, affordable options starting from £1,395 (including cremation fees) to fully bespoke arrangements, including traditional, modern, and eco-friendly funerals. Sturrock, Comb and Davidson are accredited by several professional organisations and have been awarded two-time National and three-time Regional winners of Golden Charter's Funeral Planner of the Year. The team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and offer free consultations.
