My deepest condolences to Richard's wife and Family. I have many good memories of Richard when he was my flatmate at 1/3 Bruntsfield Gardens which we shared with Paul and Lotte. We used to play Poi in the shared garden and shared many laughs in the flat. Good times and memories, I haven't seen him for a long time but I am saddened to hear of his passing.

I met Mo at Mo Beans, the coffee shop with the perfect vibe thanks to Mo. He was so easy to be near, and his staff were obviously happy too and thatās down to Mo too of course. And all too soon, heās gone, but leaves a legacy of love, and a legacy of how to live, to be with people, and to care.

I went to high school with Mo and whilst I didn't know him closely, I was very sad to hear of his passing. I remember him as a gentle person at school, who wouldn'thurt a fly. I wish his friends and family peace and strength at this incredibly difficult time.

Dearest family I was immensely saddened to hear of the untimely passing of the friend known by me and my children as Mo. I knew him as a calm, sensible and quietly spoken person who cared deeply about those he loved: his family and friends. He dealt with a lot internally it seemed, even when he had to visit hospital daily for Natalie, he never burdened others (he said it almost accidentally in passing). He was also a great Baker! Mo was a gentle man in the best sense imaginableā¤ļø. May you find peace in your great loss! May the many memories you've shared be your refuge. My deepest condolences š¤.

Attending a funeral FAQs
What should I wear?
We normally associate wearing black with going to a funeral. But it is increasingly typical for families to express a preferred dress code. Our advice is to look out for information from the family in a notice published either in newspapers, online or in the funeral director window to advise you of their preference.
How long does a service last?
Typically a service in most churches or crematoria lasts around 20-30 minutes. A formal mass may take a little longer and we would expect this to be nearer an hour. Finally, burials can vary in length as they are weather dependent.
Where should I sit?
Family and close friends typically reserve the first couple of rows in a service. We recommend sitting nearer the front than the back of a service space in order to support the family and enabling late arrivals to discreetly fill back rows.
Where should I send flowers?
Often a family will express a preference for flowers - or charity donations in lieu of flowers. We recommend you keep an eye on notices posted in newspapers, or online or in the funeral director window so you are able to follow their wishes.
