White Feather Funerals

11/04/2026

We are blessed to have a wonderful crematorium on our doorstep. Great to hear they now have planted a community orchard for all to enjoy the fruit the trees will bear. Well done Wealden District Council Oast Farm Buxted, Sussex Fruit Trees ; Vicky Martin and Union Church, Heathfield & Men's Shed 🤩

It was lovely to see a keen group of fruit-lovers on Wednesday when Wealden Crematorium held its first community orchard event.

30 people took part in a blessing of our new orchard and enjoyed some tasty fruit cake and juice from Oast Farm Buxted.

Thank you to Vicky Martin for leading the celebrations, the Men's Shed in Heathfield for building the handsome raised beds and to Sussex Fruit Trees in Vines Cross for the trees. We look forward to sharing our future harvests with our neighbours and visitors.

SIGNS

Often when someone has passed away, we look for signs to comfort us. Popular ones are white feathers & robins.

This little film is adorable ❤️

It can get really hard after the funeral. When everyone goes back to their lives and the world just keeps turning. So, we want to be able to help with that support; which is why we are offering our clients a free introductory session with a local therapist - Vicki Lowe. Vicki uses solution-focused techniques to support healing, resilience for her clients. Vicki specialises in working with younger clients, while also offering support to adults navigating loss and bereavement.

Each session offers practical tools and compassionate conversations to help you reflect, share, and begin to move forward - while cherishing the memories that matter most. Through this calm, supportive space, you’ll start to notice small steps towards comfort, confidence, and peace - gently reconnecting with what helps you cope and grow. Vicki also has many years’ experience of working in a funeral directors, so she completely understands the journey you are on.

She will meet/talk/video call with you for an introductory conversation and then if you wish to proceed, White Feather will pay for your first session with her.

If it’s of interest, please get in touch with Lucy at White Feather on 01435 408650.

White Feather – your small, local funeral home with a big ♥

Organising a funeral can be overwhelming. Discussing your loved one with someone you've only just met, can be challenging. That's why it's important to have someone who can offer you truly personal support from beginning to end. Someone that you meet right from the start, who is there every step of the way.

As a small, local independent family business, it's always personal for us. Our family supporting yours.

Another couple of new 5 star Google reviews from the lovely families I have supported, have gone up on Google and on my website this week - here is one below.

It's so important that your clients trust you and feel they are supported.

Sending messages after you have passed away 💌

If you’ve lost your mum and not relishing Mother’s Day fast approaching, this lovely concept may help.

A good friend of mine and local artist Mia Underwood (who did my wonderful window designs) recently designed a range of greeting cards for 'Miss You Mail'.

Miss You Mail cards are for those of us who have been bereaved. So you can choose to opt in and take part by writing their name and a message of love and remembrance.

See how it works below.

Cards are available now at missyoumail.co.uk.

When the world is like it is right now, it is easy to forget how much kindness you can find, day to day.

Today I conducted a funeral at the beautiful Clayton Wood Natural Burial Ground for a much loved Dad & Grandad with East Sussex Celebrant Services. The gentleman’s daughter gave me beautiful gifts and a card before we left White Feather, because she knew it was my birthday. On the day of her dad’s funeral, she had thought about someone else.❤️

And this is why I do this job. Not for the gifts! But for the lovely families that I support.
