At Sussex Funeral Services, we understand that not all families wish for a traditional religious ceremony. Our non-religious and celebrant-led funerals provide a meaningful way to honour life, reflect personal values, and create a heartfelt farewell. Every service is tailored to the individual, with flexibility and care to ensure your wishes are fully respected.
A non-religious funeral can include:
Philip, our principal funeral director, is a trained celebrant and a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. He can guide you through every step, ensuring a service that is both meaningful and personal.
You can personalise your non-religious funeral further with:
We work closely with you to ensure every detail supports a meaningful and unique farewell, offering guidance, reassurance, and compassionate support throughout the entire planning process and on the day of the service.
Non-religious funerals can be arranged in a variety of settings:
We help you select the perfect location, plan each detail, and design a personalised service that honours life and creates lasting memories. We ensure every element reflects your wishes and provides comfort to all attending.
Make the ceremony truly unique with customised elements:
Our focus is on helping you create a respectful, heartfelt, and entirely personal farewell. We take the time to listen to your wishes and offer guidance every step of the way. Every element of the service is carefully planned to honour the life being celebrated.
If you prefer, we can arrange for another celebrant, a trusted minister, or even a family friend to conduct the service. Philip and Sallie remain fully involved, offering support and coordination from your first call through to the day of the funeral. With over 10 years of experience working together, Sallie can also act as the funeral director, providing a compassionate and sensitive presence where desired.
