Arranging a Funeral

Guidance with Compassion, Every Step of the Way
Organising a funeral is a deeply personal and emotional journey. At Wealden Funerals, we’re here to support you with care, understanding, and attention to detail.
Whether you're planning in advance or making arrangements following a loss, we’ll help you create a meaningful and respectful farewell for your loved one.

Choosing the Type of Funeral
The first decision is to choose the type of service that best reflects your loved one’s life. Whether it’s a burial, cremation, or natural funeral, we’ll guide you through your options. Together, we’ll help you decide on a religious, non-religious, formal, or informal approach that aligns with your family’s wishes and values.

Planning the Service
We are here to help you shape a personal and meaningful tribute to your loved one. From selecting music and readings to arranging an officiant or celebrant, we will assist you in crafting a ceremony that reflects their life. You can choose a location that is special to your family—whether it’s a church, crematorium chapel, or graveside. We also welcome personal items or photos to tell your loved one’s story.
Our team handles all the practical details, including selecting a coffin, arranging transport, setting the date, and managing the necessary paperwork. This way, you can focus on what matters most—honouring your loved one.

Informing Family and Friends
We understand how important it is to keep family and friends informed during this time. We can assist with sharing funeral details, whether through newspaper notices, online memorial pages, or printed service sheets. Our team will help create spaces for friends and family to offer condolences, share memories, and find comfort in one another during this difficult time.

Taking Care of Yourself
Grief can be overwhelming, and it’s important to take care of your emotional well-being during the funeral planning process. Lean on family, friends, or professional support as needed. We are here not just to assist with funeral arrangements but to provide ongoing support, helping you navigate this challenging journey with compassion and care.
Clear Guidance on Costs
We believe in being transparent and will explain all costs upfront, so there are no surprises.
From venue and officiant fees to floral arrangements and optional extras, we’ll provide a clear breakdown of costs. We offer a variety of payment options and are here to advise you on financial assistance options if needed.
