An Edinburgh private funeral home has announced it will close on Monday September 19 to honour the queen.
Fosters Funeral Directors said they would contact families affected as businesses across the capital and rest of Scotland announced closures on the day of her Majesty's funeral.
The news comes as bereft and grieving families have been assured by Edinburgh City Council that funerals at the council operated Mortonhall Crematorium will continue as planned on Monday 19 September despite the recently approved bank holiday to mark the late Queen’s funeral.
