A quiet evening. A meaningful conversation.

Last night, under a calm and still sky at Burwash Common Pavilion, over 60 people came together for a very special free Grief Seminar.

We were honoured to welcome Dr Bill Webster, one of the world's most renowned bereavement counsellors, who spoke with warmth, wisdom and compassion about loss, bereavement and grief. It was a truly informative evening, and the response from everyone who attended was wonderful.

A heartfelt thank you to each and every person who joined us. Your presence made the evening what it was.

We know that creating a meaningful farewell takes a dedicated community of professionals working behind the scenes.

We are incredibly proud of the relationships we’ve built over the years, which is why we launched our new series: 'Working Together.' Throughout the year, we’ll be introducing you to the talented individuals and businesses we are lucky enough to collaborate with across both our offices at Waterhouse Funeral Directors and Heathfield Funeral Directors - the people who help us ensure every detail is covered.

This week, we shine a spotlight on the team at Wealden District Council-run Wealden Crematorium, Horam Road, Horam, Heathfield TN21 0FX, 8:30am-5pm, Mon-Fri.

We believe in caring for our community - in every way we can.

We’re proud to be local drop-off points for The Hygiene Bank, helping ensure everyone has access to basic hygiene essentials.

For many, items like shampoo, deodorant, toothpaste, or period products have become out-of-reach luxuries. Illness, job loss or unexpected life changes can leave anyone struggling - and hygiene poverty impacts confidence, dignity, school, work and everyday life.

By donating, you’re helping those who might otherwise miss school, avoid work or stay home simply because they can’t afford the essentials most of us take for granted.

You can drop off donations at:
Waterhouse Funeral Directors - High Street, Burwash TN19 7ET
Heathfield Funeral Directors – Hailsham Road, Heathfield TN21 8AE

Every item makes a real difference.

Thank you for helping

We are incredibly proud to share this heartfelt email from Jigsaw South East.

Through the Recycling of Metals Following Cremation scheme - and with the kind permission of the families we serve - we were honoured to play a part in directing a £10,000 donation to Jigsaw South East, a charity providing vital face-to-face bereavement support for children and young people across Sussex.

Receiving this email from Freddie St. George MBE is a truly humbling reminder of why we do what we do. The families who gave their consent should know that their loved ones have, in death, made a profound and lasting difference to the lives of children navigating loss.

We are grateful to Wealden Crematorium, to every family who participated, and to the wonderful team at Jigsaw South East for the compassionate work they do every single day.

"Your work also brings great hope and delight to many children and young people in our care across Sussex."

If you'd like to learn more about Jigsaw South East and the support they offer, visit their website.

It was a pleasure to support our local community by sponsoring two new scoreboards for Burwash Short Mat Bowls Club. We had the honour of presenting them to Barry from the club. When local clubs and businesses come together to support the activities and groups that strengthen our village, everyone benefits.

Looking forward to many more games!
