H G King Funeral Services

On this day 14 years ago, 8th May 2012, I started my first day as a full-time funeral operative in Brighton.

I am still passionate about the job I have: helping families during what is often their worst time in life.

Not just a funeral director, but an ear to listen to. A shoulder to cry on. A hand to hold. A smile to share.

Thank you to all the families that I've had the pleasure in looking after. 🌹

Diane's 'fireman's carry'.

Diane Haylor. 🌹

Unfortunately, Diane couldn't tick that off her bucket list before she died, so we ensured it happened at her funeral.

Yesterday I attended the official ‘opening’ of the Lancing Community Garden and also the launch of the ‘sponsor a veg trug’ scheme for local businesses. 🌼

When I met with Steve at the Garden last summer, I suggested asking local businesses to sponsor the larger trugs, to ensure a steady annual flow of income. I assisted with supplier of plaques. 🌸

I'm pleased to share the Garden have secured sponsorship of seven trugs, totalling an annual income of nearly £700. 🌻

For those who don't know, the Garden's mission is to grow fresh produce for Lancing and Sompting Churches' Food Bank. 🐝

Continuing our community support for the 2026 year. 🌱

Last week I was invited to speak at a Planning for Future Care event at Ayton House Care Home in Angmering. 💜

Also speaking alongside me was:

✨ Jenny, Registered Nurse
✨ Gill and Alex from Warwick Barker Solicitors

There were loads of questions and some really good conversations – it’s clear this is something people really want to understand and feel more confident about.

I'm a big advocate for future planning. I've experienced the loss of a parent who died intestate and the complications that follow, so I want to share my story.

If you're interested in future planning, funeral plans or general enquiries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.

When my father passed away, I continued to work and cared for families without making them aware of my personal grief.

It was important that I was there for them, not the other way round. It wasn't until after the funeral that I made them aware.

This comment from one of my clients will stay with me forever.

We truly are selfless and will always put our families first.

Has anyone else forgotten what the sun looked like?

Saturday evening spent on the beach with Bennie. An important time to reflect on the week past, and prepare for the week ahead.
