The new relationship will mean that Easter Road will be exclusively available to Hibernian supporters who wish to use the venue to host unique and memorable funeral services.
As part of the new agreement, Barclays Funeral Directors will receive exposure across the Club’s digital channels as well as branding locations at Easter Road.
Serving local communities for over 200 years, and as a proud member of Dignity Funeral Directors, Barclays strives to set the highest standards for funeral services, facilities and care.
“I’m really pleased to welcome Barclays Funeral Directors to the Hibernian family of partners,” said Murray Milligen, Head of Commercial at Hibernian FC.
“Over the years, many of our supporters have contacted the club, requesting to utilise the venue to say their farewells to loved ones. Easter Road is a place that means a great deal to so many of our supporters, and whilst funerals are understandably a very difficult time for those involved, our relationship with Barclays means that they will receive the very best care and attention when making those arrangements.”
Business Leaders Valerie Chapman and Andrew Beveridge agreed: “We are proud and excited to become Hibernians Funeral Director of choice. Having had the privilege to care for so many in the communities in Edinburgh and played Sunshine on Leith at hundreds of services, we are aware of the benefits of this partnership for our clients and Hibernian Supporters.”
