Call your local funeral home any time, day or night, for caring guidance.
Your local team can talk you through an attended funeral in Chichester or an unattended funeral in Chichester, and help you choose memorials in Chichester when you feel ready. You can also see all our funeral directors in West Sussex.
If you are planning a cremation, your local funeral director can arrange a service at any crematorium in line with your wishes. As part of the same business group, we work closely with Chichester Crematorium, located on Westhampnett Road, which may be a convenient option for local families.
You can find us on Spitalfield Lane, close to the main entrance for St Richard's Hospital.
These are estimated costs for a cremation. For a burial, please call us and we'll explain the costs.

You can choose to add a personal touch, such as a unique coffin, flowers, your choice of transport, a printed order of service or a memorial. There might be additional costs depending on the type of funeral you choose, or what you require.

Natalie and her team, at a difficult time for the family, showed great compassion and empathy throughout our experience. The whole team were professional and courteous and helped us all through what is, naturally, a difficult experience.

Natalie at the Chichester Branch is a star. Sensitive, helpful, friendly, knows exactly what she is talking about - just what you need when emotions are fragile. Every business should have a Natalie!

I would like to thank Nathalie and all the team at Dillistone and Wraights. They were always very helpful and genuinely kind and thoughtful. Nathalie made sure everything went smoothly and the whole process was as perfect as it could be.
