Yes, our chapel of rest on Queens Road gives families a quiet, private space to spend time with the person who died, and you are welcome to visit as often as you need. Our funeral home is fully wheelchair accessible, so everyone who needs to visit us can do so comfortably. For parking, the nearest option is Priory Meadow Car Park, which is a short paid car park nearby, or there is free on-street parking around a fifteen-minute walk away.
Our team is available around the clock, every day of the year, so please call us as soon as you are ready, there is no need to wait until morning. We will come to you, whether that is a home in Hastings, a hospital, or a care setting, and bring the person who died into our care with the utmost gentleness and respect. Once they are with us at our Queens Road funeral home, we will help you through the paperwork and registration process step by step, at whatever pace suits your family.
We arrange a wide range of services, including Catholic, Church of England, and broader Christian ceremonies at local venues such as St Clement's, Christchurch St Leonard's, and Fairlight Church, as well as St Mary Star of the Sea. We also arrange Jewish funerals and meaningful Humanist ceremonies for families who prefer a non-religious farewell. Whatever matters most to you and the person who died, our team will listen carefully and make sure the service truly reflects their life.
We work with Hastings Crematorium as well as Eastbourne, Wealden, and Tunbridge Wells crematoriums, so we can help you choose the location that feels right for your family. On the day itself, our team will guide the cortège and ensure everything runs smoothly from the moment we leave our Queens Road funeral home to the committal itself. We take care of every detail so that your family can focus entirely on being together and honouring the person who died.

Distance is never a barrier when a family needs our support, and we will come to you wherever you are. Please do not hesitate to call us at any time of day or night.
