    About Sussex Direct Cremation

Local. Family-Run. Here When You Need Us Most.

At Sussex Direct Cremation, we are proud to be a family-run funeral service with over 20 years of experience supporting families across East Sussex and West Kent. Our mission is simple: to provide respectful, affordable direct cremation services that keep loved ones under local care, handled with dignity by people who truly care.

  • We’re not part of a national chain or call centre.
  • We’re a trusted, independent team rooted in the communities we serve – including Hastings, Eastbourne, Lewes, Bexhill-on-Sea, Crowborough, and across to Tunbridge Wells, Tonbridge, and Sevenoaks.
  • We understand how important it is for families to know that their loved one is being looked after close to home.

Leaving the Light On

At Sussex Direct Cremation, we believe that small gestures can carry great meaning. That’s why we have a longstanding tradition of leaving the light on in our chapel every evening – a simple, heartfelt symbol that your loved one is never left alone.

Even in a direct cremation where there is no formal ceremony, this thoughtful act represents our ongoing commitment to care. It’s something our family does for yours, because we know how important peace of mind truly is.

Chapel Care

Our private chapel offers families the opportunity to say a quiet goodbye. If you choose to add a chapel visit (£100), we ensure your loved one is dressed in their own clothes and placed in a peaceful setting, available to visit during chapel opening hours.

We understand that even a simple goodbye can mean everything. That’s why we make sure our chapel is clean, calm, and always respectful – a space for reflection, comfort, and connection.
