    About Ian Brown Funeral Directors

    Ian Brown Senior took over W M Gray & Sons in 1958 when it was trading as a joiner and undertakers. Ian Brown Junior then joined the business which was rebranded as Ian Brown Funeral Directors in 1988.

    Ian Brown Funeral Directors provide funeral services within the community of Carstairs. We have a close, trusting relationship with many Carstairs families as well as those living in the wider Lanark and Carluke communities.

    The team at our funeral home will provide advice at every stage of the funeral planning process, and will arrange an individual and unique funeral to help you celebrate the life of your loved one. 

    Here at Ian Brown Funeral Directors we also offer an affordable prepaid funeral plan, Choice, so that you can arrange and pay for a funeral in advance. This will protect your family from rising costs and remove uncertainty about your wishes.

    If you would like to talk to us about planning a funeral, or our Choice plan, please come and see us in any of our funeral homes, or if you’d rather we can arrange a home visit. We’re also available 24 hours a day on the phone so if you need anything please don’t hesitate to call your local funeral home.
