What families say about us
Rated 4.9 / 5 based on 64 reviews.
Rated 5 / 5
Seaford and Newhaven funeral services handled our dads funeral with great respect and honour especially the touching thought that I was unaware of originally that he was entitled to having a standard bearer and a union flag on his coffin as dad served in national service ,thanks to Rob for mentioning. Laura was the first person that I met organising my dads service and she was throughout very caring and allowed me to take my time over our decisions for the service as at times I got quite emotional, she was just the sort of patient lady I needed at that difficult time..thank you all so much for making a difficult time a lot more bearable, see you soon when I collect dads ashes.

Nothing was to much trouble for them. Their advice was always kind and sympathetic and everything done to a high standard. I would recommend them as funeral directors
