A local family business
Gibson of Tayport was established in 1972 by William Gibson, assisted by his wife, Sheila and son, David.
William, Sheila and David passed exams in funeral directing during 1975/1976, with Sheila qualifying as an embalmer and David becoming probably the youngest qualified funeral director in Britain at the age of 17.
In August 2012, Andrea Dempster (Baker) joined the business. Andrea, only daughter of Joyce (nee Simpson) and the late Andy Dempster, had shown an interest in the funeral profession for many years.
On 1st June 2016, Andrea took over full ownership, Andrea, born and raised in Tayport, is related to the original Gibson family who nurtured the business from the beginning and throughout the many years that followed.
