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.

Cremation Services Additional Considerations

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.

Fleet

In addition to traditional hearses and limousines, we offer a range of vehicles, including horse-drawn carriages for a more traditional and elegant approach – please note there is an additional cost for this service.

Floral tributes can add a personal touch to the burial ceremony. We can coordinate floral arrangements that reflect your loved one’s favourite flowers or meaningful colours.

Clothing Requests

We ensure your loved one’s final attire aligns with your wishes. Whether it’s formal clothing, a favourite outfit, or attire that reflects their character, we take care to honour these requests with respect.

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.

Caskets & Coffins

For natural burials, we offer biodegradable caskets and coffins made from sustainable materials such as wicker, bamboo, and cardboard, ensuring a minimal environmental impact.

Floral Tributes

We can arrange eco-friendly floral tributes using seasonal and locally sourced flowers, avoiding non-biodegradable materials like floral foam.

Clothing Requests

Natural burials often call for simple, organic clothing choices. We can assist in sourcing attire made from natural, sustainable fabrics to ensure a gentle, earth-friendly farewell.

Unattended Cremations

An unattended cremation, also known as direct cremation, is a dignified and private option without a formal service. This option is ideal for those who prefer simplicity or wish to arrange a separate memorial at a later date. We are here to guide you through each step of the process, ensuring your loved one's wishes are respected and they are treated with the utmost care and compassion.
