Sussex Funeral Services are independent, family-run funeral directors in Haywards Heath, offering professional and compassionate support to families throughout the funeral planning process. We provide guidance, clear advice, and transparent pricing for all services, including traditional funerals, direct cremations, and bespoke alternative ceremonies, ensuring every funeral is respectful and personalised.
Traditional funeral services with Sussex Funeral Services provide structured, respectful ceremonies led by either a minister or a trained celebrant. Families can choose a church or crematorium chapel service followed by burial or cremation, with the funeral director coordinating transportation, coffin arrangements, and ceremonial elements.
Traditional Funeral Highlights:
These services include minister-led or celebrant-led ceremonies, church or chapel services, coffin transportation, and guidance on music, readings, and ceremonial arrangements.
For families seeking a unique and personalised farewell, Sussex Funeral Services offer alternative services that can reflect the life, values, and personality of the deceased. This can include green or woodland burials, sea burials, or bespoke ceremonies. Families may include symbolic gestures, music, and readings to create a meaningful celebration of life.
Alternative Funeral Options:
Options include eco-friendly green burials, sea burials, and fully bespoke ceremonies. Personal touches such as poetry, favourite music, or symbolic rituals can be incorporated to reflect the personality and values of the deceased.
Non-religious funerals with Sussex Funeral Services are led by trained celebrants who provide personalised ceremonies. Families may select readings, music, and reflections, and participate in or lead elements of the service. This approach is professional, compassionate, and flexible, ensuring a meaningful farewell without religious elements.
A direct cremation is a simple, low-cost funeral option for families who prefer a private farewell. Services include collection from hospital or mortuary, a suitable coffin, and cremation at the local Haywards Heath crematorium. Families may arrange a memorial or celebration of life at a later date, allowing flexibility.
Sussex Funeral Services provide a selection of coffins and urns suitable for cremation or burial, including oak, bamboo, willow, cardboard, and biodegradable options. Personalised urns are available for memorial purposes, and families are guided to make decisions that respect both the personality of the deceased and the family’s budget.
Funeral costs are transparent and include professional fees, collection and transport, crematorium or burial costs, and optional extras such as flowers, limousines, or printed orders. Families receive a clear estimate to plan confidently and avoid unexpected costs, ensuring peace of mind.
