He works for Dignity PLC, a funeral home and funeral services provider that claims on its website that it only employs “caring individuals” who have “compassion” and “respect.”
After being revealed as a repeated wife abuser and being forced to resign from the force, the 54-year-old managed to land a job at the Kilmarnock headquarters of the company.
Over the course of more than 20 years, Pittams subjected two wives and a long-term girlfriend to a litany of physical and psychological abuse.
When he couldn’t find a pair of socks for one victim while they were on vacation, he hurled a cutlery drawer at them since it was filthy.
After joining the force, he started abusing and assaulting his victims. He even got into a relationship with one of them and married her after learning that she had been stalked by her boyfriend.
Pittams, who was then from Hamilton, was spared jail time in 2018 at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court for the offenses. By leaving his position before to the conclusion of the legal matter, he avoided punishment.
Despite his conviction, Dignity employed him and he now works as a Funeral Service Operative, frequently engaging with grieving families.
And another person expressed to the Record their surprise at seeing him at their loved one’s burial. “Recently, I attended the funeral of a relative with whom I was very close,” they stated.
“I was shocked to see Iain Pittams working in the parlor when we arrived for her service. It was unbelievable to me.
He immediately struck me as the police sergeant who was forced to retire early following
After the funeral, he assisted in removing the casket from the parlor and even drove the hearse to the cemetery.
Once there, he assisted with both the coffin’s delivery to the burial and the distribution of the cords. After what he’s done, I’m completely repulsed that someone could work in this field.
“It also surprised other relatives who were present. People still remember the court case of the police officer who was accused of such severe domestic abuse, which was alarming.
“After the service, I visited the Dignity website and saw that employees assist individuals ‘through difficult times and always with compassion, respect, openness, and care.'”
Additionally, the business states, “We offer a selection of difficult
How is it possible for a man who terrorized three women he was meant to love to show empathy, respect, and compassion for strangers?
“It disgusts me that a serial domestic abuser is engaging with weak people who are going through a really trying moment, as when they lost a loved one.
“If this is the kind of person Dignity hires, then neither my family nor I will ever use them again.” Pittams defended the choice to recruit him when questioned if it was the right job for him.
He revealed to the Record that for a number of months, he had been employed in an office-based administrative position with no public access.
However, he claimed it was “a one-off” when informed that the previous day he had been spotted transporting caskets to a funeral home. “I disclosed my prior convictions to my current employer,” he continued.
The decision to accept me as an employee was made by human resources.
“I haven’t kept anything from them hidden. I want to move on with my life since I’ve changed, had counseling, and am in a committed, loving relationship.
“I’ve accepted my guilt, acknowledged that what I did was wrong, and have made every effort to improve as a person.
“I’m attempting to atone for my previous actions. My personal development is ongoing.
