Charles has been with the firm since 1994. He assists on funerals when required at the Scotland Funeral Home. Charles was asked to join our firm with one specific reason in mind, to drive our family car. Often the need arises when a funeral home at another location is in need of extra transportation for the client families they are serving.

Charles is there to assist them in any way he can. His professional demeanor is appreciated not only by the Scotland Funeral Home, but also by all of the other local funeral homes that require his service.

Charles resides here in Elgin. Charles was married to Irma until her unfortunate and untimely death in 2011. He is actively involved in his Church, his Masonic Lodge as well a the Order of the Eastern Star. We consider ourselves very fortunate to have Charles assisting us.

Charles has now RETIRED from his duties at the funeral home, but out of respect for the work and assistance he has provided us, we feel it best to acknowledge his past presence with us by leaving his information on our website..
