Our History
Richard Green took the decision to open as an Independent Funeral Director in Uckfield in 1999, following nearly 30 years working for other Funeral Directors where he had seen small family firms taken over by large companies.
He felt that the “group” mentality of one size fits all was not appropriate when providing funerals and wanted to offer a proper individual service which is completely flexible depending on the client’s requirements.
Plenty of people felt the same way and we quickly got a reputation for providing an excellent service.
In 2005 we decided to open a second office in Lewes as we felt that there was plenty of room for a proper local funeral director in the area.

In August 2014, due to continued increase in demand for our services, we moved the Lewes office into larger, more central premises at 170 High Street.
In 2021, with more and more families asking us to look after the funeral arrangements of their loved ones, it was necessary to introduce a second Funeral Director and we were very pleased that Alex Heyland Part was able to join us in this role. Both Richard and Alex continue to provide our clients with truly personal, independent funeral provision. They are supported by Ali Harris in the Uckfield office, and Richard Thorpe and Amanda Cunningham in the Lewes office, who can deal with any queries you may have. In addition we have a loyal team of pall bearers who take great pride in their roles.
Both Uckfield and Lewes premises have full facilities which include a comfortable lounge room for discussing arrangements and a private chapel of rest.

Richard has been working in the funeral industry for over 45 years and has an excellent team of staff and bearers who take great pride in working together to make the service exceptional.
We wholly own the business and are not controlled by any parent or holding company.
Our independence means that we are able to be flexible in our approach to meeting clients’ requirements for service provision, and the subsequent pricing of their chosen service.
Every funeral is different and should be memorable for the family; it is individual to them and the deceased. We have a wealth of experience for you to benefit from.
We do our utmost to provide a service that is both caring and dignified and take pride in making a difficult time easier for a family to cope with.
We also provide a full range of memorial stones, ashes caskets and keepsakes.
