A personal approach
A farewell shaped by the great outdoors
Walking the South Downs, tending a much-loved garden, exploring Ashdown Forest or heading out with a faithful dog can form an important part of someone’s story.
We help families across Heathfield, Hailsham, Polegate, Eastbourne and the wider Wealden area create thoughtful farewells that reflect a genuine connection with the countryside.
Thoughtful possibilities
Ideas for an outdoor tribute
Four-legged companions
Where the venue agrees, a family dog may attend or walk with part of the cortege.
Living tributes
Seasonal garden flowers, native plants or seeds can create a personal alternative to formal floral displays.
Natural materials
Willow, wicker, wool and cardboard coffins can complement a nature-inspired farewell.
