Cremation Services
Cremation offers flexibility and the opportunity to create a deeply personal tribute to your loved one. At Wealden Funerals, we work with you to design a ceremony that reflects their life, whether religious or non-religious. You have the freedom to incorporate hymns, readings, music, and eulogies, with options on how the service concludes.
We assist in selecting an officiant and provide guidance on handling the ashes, whether you wish to scatter, bury, or keep them in a meaningful way.

Fleet
Our fleet of hearses and limousines is available to transport your loved one and family with dignity and comfort. You can also request a specific vehicle to reflect your loved one’s tastes or personality, including a horse and carriage or a special vehicle – these will be quoted for separately.
Floral Tributes
We can arrange for beautiful floral tributes to complement the ceremony. Whether you wish to incorporate personal favourite flowers or create a unique tribute, we work closely with florists to meet your needs.
Clothing Requests
If you have specific clothing requests for your loved one, we are happy to assist. Whether they are dressed in a favourite outfit or something symbolic, we ensure they are presented with dignity and respect.
Burial Services
Burials offer a timeless and respectful way to say goodbye. Whether traditional or more unique, we help families choose from cemeteries, churchyards, or natural burial sites.
Our services can be formal or informal, spiritual or secular, ensuring they reflect your loved one’s personality and values. Services can be held at a church, chapel, or graveside, tailored to your specific wishes.

Green & Natural Funerals
For those wishing to make an eco-conscious choice, we offer green and natural burial options. These services use biodegradable materials and avoid embalming, taking place in protected green spaces.
Families can incorporate faith-based or non-religious elements, and the service is designed to honour your loved one in harmony with nature.
