When someone you love dies… everything changes in an instant.
And in that moment, what you need most… is someone you can trust.”

My name is Philip Evans, and together with my wife Sallie, we run Sussex Funeral Services — an independent, family-run funeral directors here in Brighton & Hove.

This isn’t a corporate service. It’s just us.
From the very first call… to the day of the funeral… you deal directly with me.

I’m not only your funeral director — I’m also a celebrant — which means I can help guide, support, and create a service that truly reflects the person you’ve lost.

We don’t believe in packages or pressure.
Every funeral we arrange is personal, flexible, and built around your wishes — whether that’s something simple and quiet… or a full traditional service.

Our role is straightforward.
To take care of everything…
to support you through it…
and to make sure the funeral feels right.

Sussex Funeral Services — personal, independent, and here when you need us most.

Sussex Funeral Services Ltd, Independent Funeral Directors in Brighton, Hove and Portslade, is owned and managed by Husband & Wife team Philip & Sallie Evans.

We provide all manner of funeral related services, with emphasis on Care, Compassion & Choice

We’ve signed it. Please consider signing it too. It’s about time our profession became regulated to maintain integrity.

We believe the funeral industry must be regulated as there are a lack of government regulations for setting up a funeral business, meaning owners don't need to meet specific requirements.

At this time of year, we’re mindful that Christmas can be both a season of comfort and a time of sadness for many.
To all the families we have been privileged to support, and to our wider community, we send our warmest wishes for peace, comfort, and gentle moments of reflection this Christmas, and hope that the New Year brings strength and kindness. Warmest wishes Philip Evans & Sallie Evans at Sussex Funeral Services
