In response to the literature which has been distributed locally in the East Preston area

From when we originally enquired about the availability of the former Conservative Hall, we were keen to embark on the project after the success of our Gordon Chapel in Broadwater.

As a family we have been looking after other local families for over 100 years and in that time the concept of funerals has developed. Whilst there will always naturally be a degree of mourning, the aspect to celebrate a person’s life is equally now as important.

Like the Gordon Chapel, the June Sutherland Chapel will give local families the chance to celebrate their loved one, with the facilities to continue the celebration in the onsite catering suite.

On carrying out some local research we discovered that people were appreciative of the prospect of not having to travel to the Crematorium for a service as well as being able to say a final goodbye in the village without having to cross the railway line.

We will also be working with a number of local community organisations, for example The East Preston Horticultural Society, the East Preston Film Club and East Preston In Bloom as well as others who require a space outside of office hours, allowing the chapel to serve the community in every sense.

With our investment in the building we have ensured the former conservative hall will be an asset to the local village rather than sit empty or become a block of flats.

All the relevant permission has been obtained through the local authority and there has been a constant policy of transparency throughout the process, including attending the parish council meeting in March with our plans for the building.
Our site manager has been in contact with the neighbours to the building as well as talking to many pedestrians as they pass by.

If anyone has any questions or queries regarding the June Sutherland Chapel or Ian Hart Funeral Service in general, please contact me on 01903 206299, I will respond to every enquiry personally.
Thank you for your time,
Take care

🏠New Premises - East Preston🏠

Family Funeral Directors Ian and Sam Hart are delighted to announce the acquisition of 41 Sea Road, East Preston, formerly the Conservative Hall.

‘The Sutherland Chapel’ marks an exciting new chapter of the company history opening 10 years on from ‘The Gordon Chapel’.

With a purpose renovated 100 seater service chapel and on site catering suite, Ian and the team are able to offer the local community of East Preston and surrounding areas a private intimate setting to say goodbye in the heart of the village.

We can’t wait for this exciting new venture and will keep you all updated with how the new location is progressing.

Ian has always been a strong supporter of local sport, with his mantra always being “if kids are playing in a team they’re less likely to be causing trouble!”

It’s an absolute pleasure to sponsor our local cricket junior section and has been a delight to see the kids enjoying their first cricket festival on the Green.

Broadwater Cricket Club is unique, a little quirky, but full of amazing volunteers that are making a difference for these budding sports stars. The future is bright! ⭐️

Really lucky to have a wonderful crematorium close to us that support all of their local FD’s💚💛

Traditional or out of the ordinary, that is the question?

We are lucky enough to be able to offer a wide variety of hearses, last Friday it was the turn of the Land Rover Hearse and this was quite the beast!

A perfect last journey for this family, the Land Rover defender hearse is a mix of practicality and elegance and a great choice for a family who love the countryside and all it has to offer.

What a day!🤠🏌🏼‍♂️

20 teams took on Hill Barn golf club with one team at the top of the tree come lunch time, our winners Switched Electrical ruled the roost and etched their name in history.

We raised a whopping £5,600 for Chestnut Tree House, and couldn’t have done it without the support of our hole sponsors and raffle prize givers.

A massive thank you to all the golfers on the day for their generous support and brilliant attitudes that made for a great day. Roll on next year!

As part of Ian Hart Funeral Services' 20th year celebrations, the team set themselves a challenge to pay for a day. From car washes to bowls nights, walking challenges and comedy shows, they’ve done it all to reach the milestone.

Funeral Director Sam Hart had this to say, “We know first-hand the amazing work that the team at Chestnut Tree do. After 20 years as a company, we wanted to do something to give back.

"All the team bought into the challenge, a day of car washing kickstarted it all, as well as getting everyone moving during our ‘Proclaimers challenge’ in May. Fittingly, our flagship event of the year was our inaugural Golf Day at Hill Barn, which this year is taking place on the same day we are paying for.”

We'd like to say a big thank you to Ian Hart Funeral Service for paying for today's care at Chestnut Tree House. 💛

Tomorrow is a big day for us for more than one reason!

As the 80 golfers take on Hill Barn raising funds for Chestnut Tree House, the hospice will be funded by our efforts from last year.

As you may remember we took on a number of fundraising efforts to celebrate 20 years of the company and after a big year we managed to raise enough to “pay for a day”.

We are so thankful for everyone that helped and donated along the way and are overjoyed that we can give back to our local children’s hospice 💚💛
