01273 488 121 We wholly own the business and are not controlled by any parent or holding company. Our independence means that we are able to be flexible in our approach to meeting clients’ requirements for service provision, and the subsequent pricing of their chosen service. Every funeral is different and should be memorable for the family; it is individual to them and the deceased. We do our utmost to provide a service that is both caring and dignified and take pride in making a difficult time easier for a family to cope with. We also provide a full range of memorial stones, ashes caskets and keepsakes.

Honouring Service, Remembering with Pride.

At Richard Green Funeral Service, we understand how important it is to recognise and honour a life of service.
If your loved one served in the Armed Forces, there are a number of meaningful ways to reflect their dedication during the funeral.

These can include:
• A bugler playing the Last Post
• A standard bearer in attendance
• Draping the coffin with a service flag
• Displaying medals, a beret, or other personal military items
• The inclusion of bagpipes, where appropriate

These elements can add a deeply personal and respectful tribute, helping to celebrate their service and sacrifice.
Our team is here to guide you through these options and ensure every detail is handled with dignity and care.
Please feel free to speak with us if you would like to incorporate any of these tributes into the service.

Richard Green Funeral Service – supporting you every step of the way.

Gentle reminder not to put pressure on yourself.

We all process grief in our own way and in our own time 💜

Mother’s Day means something different for everyone.

While many celebrate today, for others it can be a gentle and sometimes difficult reminder of a mum who is deeply missed. On this day we pause to remember the love, strength and guidance that mothers bring to our lives, and the lasting impact they leave behind.

For those who are missing their mum today, we remember with you. The love and memories shared never fade, and the bond between a mother and child continues to live on in the stories, traditions and moments we carry forward.

To anyone finding today a little harder, please know you are not alone. Today we hold space for reflection, remembrance, and the love that never truly leaves us.
💛🌷

📚💛 Today we are marking World Book Day by recognising the important role stories can play when a child is grieving.

At Richard Green Funeral Service, we understand that talking about death with children can feel daunting. Stories can gently open conversations, help children feel less alone, and give them words for big feelings. They create safe spaces for questions, reassurance, and shared reflection.

Here are a few thoughtful reads often recommended by bereavement charities supporting children through grief:
• Muddles, Puddles and Sunshine by Diana Crossley – An interactive workbook supporting bereaved children as they explore their feelings.
• Badger’s Parting Gifts by Susan Varley – A classic, comforting story about remembering someone special.
• The Memory Tree by Britta Teckentrup – A beautifully illustrated story that shows how memories keep loved ones close to our hearts.
• Michael Rosen’s Sad Book by Michael Rosen – An honest and heartfelt reflection on grief from someone who has experienced profound loss.
• The Invisible String by Patrice Karst – A reassuring tale about staying connected to those we love, even when they are apart.
• About Hedgehog by Dani Seatter – A gentle story helping children explore emotions, resilience, and the comfort of friendship.

There are many other helpful and compassionate books available, each offering different ways to help children understand loss and express their emotions. The right story can provide comfort, validation, and reassurance that they are not alone.

For families seeking additional support, organisations such as Winston’s Wish or Child Bereavement UK offer guidance and practical resources for children and the adults caring for them.

World Book Day is a celebration of the power of literature to educate, comfort, and connect us. As funeral professionals, we know how important it is to support families beyond the day of the service — and sometimes, a story can be the first step towards healing.

Proudly Serving Our Community – Uckfield & Lewes

As an independent, family-run funeral service, we are proud to support families across Uckfield, Lewes, and the surrounding communities from our two welcoming offices.

For generations, our role has been about far more than arranging funerals. It is about listening, guiding, and caring, ensuring every family feels supported, understood, and never rushed at one of life’s most difficult times.

From our branches in Uckfield and Lewes, we provide a personal, compassionate service built on dignity, professionalism, and respect — values that sit at the heart of everything we do. Being local means, we understand our communities, their traditions, and the importance of doing things properly, with care and attention to every detail.

While we are firmly rooted in our local area, we are also regularly entrusted to support families from across the wider Home Counties and beyond, particularly when there are family ties to the area.
Wherever you may be, arrangements can be made in the way that feels most comfortable — whether in person, in your own home, or through telephone and email.
We understand that many families feel most at ease in their own surroundings, which is why we are always happy to visit families at home, where arrangements can be made in comfort, privacy, and at a pace that feels right for them.
Whether you need immediate support, guidance for the future, or simply a conversation, our experienced team is always here — offering quiet reassurance, clear advice, and genuine care, every step of the way.

Thank you for continuing to place your trust in us. It is a privilege to serve our families.

National Funeral Planning Awareness Week

This week is all about starting important conversations about planning for the future.
While it’s never easy to think about, discussing your funeral wishes with family and friends can provide peace of mind for everyone involved.

Why plan ahead?
• Relieves emotional and financial burden on loved ones
• Ensures your wishes are recorded
• Gives you control over your final arrangements

At Richard Green Funeral Service, we’re here to help make funeral planning simpler and stress-free, offering flexible funeral plans that suit your needs.

Start the conversation today. Let your family know your wishes and take the first step towards securing the peace of mind you deserve.

🤍 Still part of our story

Valentine’s Day can bring mixed emotions for those missing someone they love.
Today, we’re holding space for remembrance — because the people we love continue to shape us, even after they are gone.

Love is made of stories: the little moments, the laughter, the memories that stay with us and quietly become part of who we are.

💗 Light a candle, share a memory, or simply take a quiet moment to reflect on those who will always be part of your story.
💬 If you feel comfortable, tell us below — we’d be honoured to read them.

If today feels heavy, you’re not alone.
Be gentle with yourself and take the day at your own pace.
We’re holding you in our thoughts. 🤍
