Investing in our premises
Joseph Potts Funeral Directors in Bellshill was established in 1890 and passed through four generations of the Potts family before joining Dignity. The North Lanarkshire funeral home has recently undergone a complete refurbishment.
Funeral manager, James Cumming said: "This represents a major investment by the company which has greatly enhanced the facilities we have to offer our clients. In addition, we have a complete new workshop, mortuary and embalming theatre as well as a new staff kitchen and dining room. The feedback from local clergy, clients and staff has all been very positive and takes Joseph Potts Funeral Service to the forefront of client service."
