Sussex Funeral Services are independent, family-run funeral directors in Burgess Hill, offering professional and compassionate support to families at every stage. We provide full funeral services including traditional funerals, direct cremations, and personalised alternative ceremonies, always with clear guidance, practical advice, and transparent pricing.
Traditional funerals provide a structured and respectful ceremony. Sussex Funeral Services coordinate minister-led or celebrant-led services at churches or crematorium chapels, including burial or cremation. Families receive guidance on readings, music, and ceremonial elements, while transportation and coffin arrangements are professionally managed.
Traditional Funeral Highlights:
For a more personalised farewell, Sussex Funeral Services offer alternative services that can include:
Families are supported in adding personal touches such as poetry, music, or symbolic gestures to create a celebration of life.
Non-religious services are conducted by trained celebrants, including: readings, music, and reflections chosen by the family. Family members or friends can participate or lead portions of the service. This approach provides flexibility while maintaining professional, respectful, and compassionate care.
A direct cremation is a low-cost, simple alternative for private farewells. Services include collection from hospital or mortuary, coffin suitable for cremation, and cremation at the local Burgess Hill crematorium. Families may plan a memorial or celebration of life at a later date.
Options include oak, bamboo, willow, or cardboard coffins, along with biodegradable alternatives. Personalised urns are available for memorials or keepsakes. Sussex Funeral Services guide families to choose options reflecting the personality of the deceased and family budget.
Funeral costs are transparent and include professional fees, collection, transport, crematorium or burial fees, and optional extras such as flowers, limousines, or printed orders. Clear, itemised estimates allow families to plan without unexpected costs.
