About Us

For Caring, Compassion, and Choice: Sussex Funeral Services Sussex Funeral Services can assist you in arranging a cremation or burial no matter what the details, from traditional religious services to alternative celebration of life affairs, cremation to burials, and something to suit every budget. Sussex Funeral Services will help you with all of the options, and never make you feel rushed. And we can help you arrange everything, no matter what options you go for, even if you'd rather just have a small gathering in your own home.

Depending on your loved one's last wishes, you will need to decide on the type of service. Sussex Funeral Services is able to offer traditional funeral arrangements, that generally adhere to a time honoured, ceremonial funeral. Traditional funeral services, while flexible, often include ministry services at a local church and a hearse led funeral procession. We can shape the service around whether or not religion will play a role, giving you the power of choice. Alternative services are growing in popularity as more and more are choosing to personalize the ceremony for their deceased loved ones, a celebration of life rather than a confrontation of death. Cremation services, sea burials, and eco-friendly burials are among some of the alternative service options available.

Establishment: Sussex Funeral Services, Independent Brighton Funeral Directors serving Brighton, Hove and Portslade, is owned and managed by Philip Evans Jnr. Philip is an experienced Undertaker and Funeral Celebrant. As part of his training towards becoming an undertaker, Philip spent some time over the last two years, working and training in his father’s funeral business(Philip Evans Funeral Services in Southwick) as well as having worked for another independent Funeral Director. Having completed his training, and now that he has successfully set up his own Funeral Directors, Philip will provide you with a professional and dedicated service, will care for the deceased, with the utmost integrity and dignity, and help you arrange the funeral in the most sensitive and caring manner. In addition to his undertaking experience, Philip is also a trained Independent Funeral Celebrant(also known as civil celebrant or humanist), having completed a course in Funeral Celebrancy. He is a member of the Fellowship of Professional Celebrants. Philip has also undertaken a course on “Awareness in Bereavement Care” with CRUSE Bereavement Care, in 2009. This course, combined with the celebrancy training, has provided Philip with the essential skills and experience needed to care for your needs and has enabled him to really understand loss and how bereavement affects those who have suffered the death of a loved one.
