Funeral Arrangements
We guide families through every step of funeral planning, from registration of death to final arrangements. Our experienced team offers personalized consultations to create meaningful tributes that reflect the deceased's life. Services include coordinating with crematoriums, churches, and cemeteries while handling all necessary paperwork and logistics.
Green Burials
Our environmentally conscious burial options use biodegradable materials and natural settings. We manage all arrangements for sites like Clayton Wood and Woodland Valley, including tree planting to mark graves. This service combines sustainability with dignified memorialization in protected Sussex landscapes.
Sea Burials
We organize full funeral services for sea burials, including licences, boat hire, and paperwork. Available off Newhaven, these ceremonies accommodate up to six family members. Our team ensures compliance with maritime regulations while creating meaningful oceanic memorials.

Our free counselling service, led by qualified psychotherapist Christine Brownbridge, helps individuals process loss. Sessions address emotional responses like shock, guilt, or numbness through evidence-based techniques. Support continues beyond the funeral to aid long-term healing.

In partnership with Golden Charter, we offer customizable pre-paid plans covering funeral director fees and third-party costs. These plans provide peace of mind through fixed pricing and allow individuals to specify their wishes. Over 1 million UK residents have used this service since 1995.
