Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland

Who Are We?

Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland exists to provide support to people experiencing grief following a death, working primarily through volunteers, providing free care to bereaved people.

Cruse was founded over 50 years ago in Surrey as a support group for widows. Over the years it grew rapidly opening its doors first to widowers and eventually to anyone who was bereaved. Gradually Cruse developed into a volunteer counselling service. The first branch of Cruse in Scotland opened in the late 1960s and by the mid 90s there were 28 branches north of the border.

Our Head Office is situated in Perth. This is the base for our Executive and Training Department.

Cruse Bereavement Care Scotland exists to promote the well-being of bereaved people in Scotland

We seek to help anyone experiencing bereavement to understand their grief and cope with their loss. We work primarily through volunteers, providing free care to bereaved people. We also train and educate individuals and organisations who may in turn be able to contribute to the well-being of bereaved people.
