Your arrangements, handled by our family team
Choosing a funeral director is not simply about finding the closest office. What matters is knowing who will look after the person who has died, who will answer your questions and who will remain responsible for the arrangements.
Everyone entrusted to Wealden Funeral Services is cared for locally in our private mortuary in Heathfield. They are not routinely transferred to a distant central facility because their family lives in Uckfield.
You will deal with our own family team throughout the arrangements. We explain each choice in plain language, provide a written estimate and give you time to decide what feels right.

Snatts Road Cemetery is Uckfield’s principal town cemetery and is managed by Uckfield Town Council. It includes burial areas and a Garden of Remembrance for cremated remains.
If this is a possible choice, we can help your family understand the current availability, paperwork, fees and cemetery regulations.
Churchyard burial may also be possible where the person has an existing right or qualifying connection. Each churchyard has its own rules, and we will speak with the relevant parish before a burial is confirmed.
