Thank you for your care and support at the time of Peters passing. Your professionalism and seamless service were really appreciated.
The Barnes Family, East Sussex
Testimonials
At a time that is confusing and obviously heart breaking to have someone like Andy appear at your door and guide you through the funeral process was a blessing. We didn’t feel pushed at all but gently guided and allowed to talk freely and choose exactly how we wanted our service for my father to be. It all felt quite natural which is exactly what you need at times like that.
C. Murphy
Testimonials
Dear John, Annie and all at Hailsham Funeral Service. Thank you so very much for all you done and making things go so easy for us. Kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes are endless. Reggie would have been proud of it.
