Here at Tester & Jones Funeral Services, we are proud to be supporting the Hospice in the Weald Meadow of Memories again this spring. Previously, we sponsored a butterfly at Scotney Castle- National Trust and, this time, we are dedicating a beautiful daisy.

The meadows will be blooming between 2-17 May at both Scotney and Chartwell this year, with a remembrance gathering on Sunday 17 May, with live music, poetry and readings.

We were very proud to sponsor the first ever opera at the Mayfield Festival last night! The Old Maid and The Thief, conducted by Tom Hawkey, was great fun, with some amazing performances!

These are our neighbours. This is our community.

Saying goodbye doesn't have to be complicated or expensive. It's about having a choice.

With 41% of people naming compassion as the number one thing they look for in a funeral director, we invite you to speak with your local SAIF funeral director, Tester & Jones Funeral Services, first. We've been part of the Crowborough community for 20 years and you'll benefit from the local guidance and honest reassurance you deserve.

We are proud to support the SAIF 'Handled With Care' campaign.

We know that people are tempted by direct cremation packages - that are heavily advertised by national firms. Did you know, however, that your independent funeral director, Tester & Jones Funeral Services, offers our own direct cremation options - with the added peace of mind that your loved one will be under our care.

What is a Direct Cremation?
An unattended cremation, also known as a direct cremation, is a service where a cremation takes place without a traditional funeral ceremony or mourners present. Instead, family and friends can choose to have a private memorial service or celebration of life, at a later date, or simply remember the deceased in their own way.

Simply Direct Cremation
Our Simply Direct Cremation is an option in which your loved one is cremated without a funeral service or ceremony and is booked, by us, on a date of our choice.

Local Attended Cremation
Our Local Attended Cremation is where there is a 15 minute funeral service or ceremony prior to the cremation. It differs from a Simply Direct Cremation, in that the cremation takes place at Wealden Crematorium in Horam, and we personally take your loved one to the crematorium.

You can find out more here (alternatively drop into our office in London Road, Crowborough, or call us on: 01892 611811):

We are delighted that Del Soan has recently joined our team as Branch Manager, having worked for both corporate and independent funeral directors across Kent and Sussex for more than ten years.

Working locally, Del was already aware of Tester & Jones and says he knew we had an excellent reputation for looking after families, with the flexibility of being independent.

“Having worked for both corporate and independent funeral directors, I know that corporates often have their hands tied when it comes to creating bespoke funerals, while an independent has much more scope to ‘make it happen’,” he explains. “My career at a few different firms means that I’ve picked up useful experiences along the way and I am bringing that all to Tester & Jones.”

He adds: “An independent funeral director is also part of the local community and that’s certainly the case with Tester & Jones. Families know they will be looked after when they come here and being a member of SAIF, an organisation that is guiding us all through the increasing regulation, gives families additional peace of mind that everything will be ‘done properly’.”
