Meet Kenneth

Kenneth Keegan Adv Dip FD

Director and Funeral Director

I started in the funeral profession in November 2005 as a trainee Funeral Director gaining my advance diploma in August 2006.  After working for large national funeral directors for ten years, I decided that opening my own business was the best way I could serve my clients and their loved ones.  In August 2014 I opened Kenneth Keegan Independent Funeral Directors. 

I passionately believe families and their loved one’s should be our top priority.  That all bereaved families deserve a local funeral director who can offer flexibility in all aspects of the service they provide, allowing arrangements to be tailored to their personal wishes at an affordable cost.

I am married to Kelly and have two boys, Blair and Rory.  We also have our dog Maggie who is a Westie/Maltese cross.

In my spare time I enjoy watching any sports. Taking my sons to Rugby and Tennis classes and going for long walks with the family.  I enjoy travelling and visiting the many beautiful places to see in Scotland.
