Our funeral home in St Leonards on Sea has been serving the local community since 2006. During that time, we've come to know and love our local area well. We cover areas throughout St Leonards on Sea, including Hastings, Hollington, Crowhurst and Westfield. We're here to give you a friendly, reliable and sensitively planned funeral service at your time of need.
We will be led by you in making the funeral arrangements. We will listen as you tell us about who they were and what feels right for them. Then we will use our established relationships with local places of worship and crematoriums in the area, like Fairlight, St Mary Star of the Sea, Church in the Wood to create the funeral that feels right.
We will give you a warm welcome, a cup of tea and the confidence that any funeral you arrange with us will be the best it can be. Call us or come to our funeral home on London Road.

Yes, our team regularly supports families from Crowhurst and the surrounding villages, so please do not hesitate to get in touch. We also serve St Leonards on Sea, Hastings, Hollington, and Westfield, meaning most families in this part of East Sussex are well within our reach. Wherever you are, we will come to you.
There is free street parking directly outside our funeral home on London Road, which we hope makes visiting us a little easier at what can be a difficult time. We have been serving families from St Leonards on Sea and the surrounding area since 2006, so our team knows this community well. Please do be aware that our premises are not currently wheelchair accessible, and if you have any concerns about visiting us, please call ahead and we will do everything we can to accommodate your needs.
We have experience arranging services at local churches including St Mary Star of the Sea and Church in the Wood in Hollington, as well as completely non-religious ceremonies held at Hastings Crematorium. Whatever your family's beliefs or wishes, our team will work with you to create a service that feels right. There is no single way to mark a life, and we will follow your lead.
Our team is available around the clock, every day of the year, so you can call us at any hour and someone will be there to help you. Once you are ready, we will arrange to bring your loved one into our care from wherever they are, whether that is a family home in Westfield, a hospital, or a care home. We can also talk you through the paperwork, including the medical certificate and registration of the death, at whatever pace feels manageable for your family.
We work with Hastings Crematorium and can guide your family through every aspect of the day, from the arrival of the cortège to the committal. Our team will help you choose music, readings, and the order of service so that the occasion truly reflects the person who died. We take care of all the practical coordination so that on the day itself, you can focus entirely on saying goodbye.
