Creating a perfect service

Cremation and Direct Cremation
We can arrange a bespoke attended funeral at the crematorium of your choice, with the flexibility of a service elsewhere, in church or our own Chapel, taking place before or after the cremation.

Wealden Crematorium – 01323 443400 | www.wealdencrematorium.com
Kent & Sussex Crematorium – 01892 523894 | www.kentandsussexcrematorium.com

We are happy to attend other crematoriums if you wish. Please ask us if you want to use a different crematorium to the ones above.

A direct cremation differs from a traditional funeral in that there is no service for mourners to attend. However, we offer a more personal local alternative to national direct cremation providers. Our service gives families greater flexibility, including the option to say goodbye to their loved one in our Chapel of Rest.

Ashes can be scattered or interred in the Gardens of Remembrance at the crematorium, or interred in a churchyard or cemetery. We will be happy to explain the options available to you and to make the necessary arrangements.

Burial
We can help arrange a burial in a cemetery or churchyard within the local area, wherever space is available and subject to the required permissions. Our arrangers are always happy to provide advice and support throughout the process.

Natural, ‘Green’ and Woodland Burials
Services can be held in approved natural burial grounds, where we offer full burials, ash interments, and scattering in a peaceful natural setting. We also provide a selection of environmentally friendly coffins, such as willow, along with biodegradable urns.

Decisions for the funeral

When arranging a funeral, there are several important decisions to make to ensure the service is personal, meaningful, and reflects your loved one’s wishes. From the type of ceremony to the small details that make it unique, we’re here to guide you with care and understanding. If you’re unsure where to start or need some gentle advice, talk to us — we’re always here to help.

Cremations and Burials
Choosing between a cremation or burial is a personal decision for your loved one's committal and an important part of planning a funeral. We can help guide you through the choices involved. An important part to remember is that churches, crematoriums, and cemeteries have their own charges, known as disbursement costs, which you need to be aware of. We've listed the local ones below.

We offer a range of urns in various styles, materials, and sizes — whether for keeping, scattering, or sharing ashes with family.
