A crematorium in Edinburgh has officially reopened following a £2.1m refurbishment.

Mortonhall Crematorium has been closed since 2015, after suffering damage from a "significant" fire.

The facility was originally designed by renowned Scottish architect Sir Basil Spence 50 years ago and incorporates the largest main chapel in the east of Scotland.

Improvements to the crematorium include a new family room providing privacy and a refreshed external waiting room.

The main chapel's organ has also been restored to improve sound quality and high-definition web cameras have been installed to stream to guests who cannot attend services.

Scientific bereavement and registration services senior manager Robbie Beattie said: "We are delighted with the refurbishment of Mortonhall Crematorium, which will provide mourners with a much more comfortable and welcoming atmosphere during what can be a very difficult time.

"Unfortunately this major project required the temporary closure of crematorium buildings but we have worked closely with funeral directors and contractors to ensure alternative measures were put in place, and that the work was completed as quickly as possible."
