Miss Sophie Gackowski Born March 31, 1989 - died October 31, 2018. Peter and Petula are sad to announce the death of their beloved daughter, Sophie Gackowski, of Broughty Ferry (formerly of Stornoway, Isle of Lewis, Stone Staffordshire and attended St Dominic's Stone, Stornoway Primary, Barnhill Primary, Grove Academy, Dundee College, Dundee and Edinburgh Universities), who passed away, peacefully, with her family at her side, in Roxburghe House, Dundee, on Wednesday, October 31, 2018, sister to Nolan, Adam and the late Scott, auntie to Tyler, Poppy, Eden and Ava and granddaughter to Farmor, for whom she felt special affection. So many tears for our baby taken too soon. We thank the doctors and medical team at Roxburghe House, who made Sophie feel safe and secure during the darkest month of her life. To our little girl, we say, "We want to hug you, hold your hand, plant one more kiss and tell you again "we love you" and for that loss we will never stop grieving. God bless you Sophie. You will never be forgotten."

I only met her once, at a Hotchpotch open-mike evening, but was struck by her high spirits and calm acceptance of her condition. She was clearly a special, rare and talented individual, who made a permanent impression in a short time. Rest in peace, Sophie, you will not be forgotten.

Attending a funeral FAQs

View all 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.
