It’s been eight months since Stephen Tester Independent Funeral Directors first opened its doors and the time has flown by. During those months, we feel privileged to have supported so many wonderful families in Crowborough and the surrounding villages.

Stephen Tester has lived in the area and served its community through the funeral industry for more than 30 years.

He said: “I’m honoured to have been entrusted by so many local people with the care of their loved ones as they say their farewells.

“It’s important to me that people feel they have choice, support and advice from someone they trust at the most difficult time.

“We take our roles as independent funeral directors with the utmost seriousness and are fully compliant with national safeguarding regulations, working to a strict code of practice.”

Whether you are planning ahead or arranging a funeral, we are here to help.

You are welcome at our funeral home in Park Rd, Crowborough, where we also offer a peaceful, private space for reflection, remembrance and saying goodbye if needed. Or you can call us 24 hours a day on 01892 577166.

Christmas is a time when we want to be close to family and friends and naturally miss loved ones we can’t be near. It’s a time when we cherish our memories the most and then enjoy making new ones. Wishing all in our local community a safe and healthy Christmas.
While we’ll be away from the office over the Christmas break, we’re available 24 hours a day on 01892 577166. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch if you need us.

Conquered my nerves to speak on Ashdown Radio about the latest developments in the funeral industry. It was a pleasure to discuss direct cremations among other growing funeral trends and how we can help people in the Crowborough community and beyond.

Kim and I popped into Crowborough Foodbank to deliver treats for local families this Christmas. The Foodbank volunteers have offered much-needed support for people on low incomes this year, providing free food parcels donated by local individuals and companies.

We’re in awe of their hard work and dedication. Very fitting that some of the treats we left were called ‘Heroes’.

If you need their services please contact your GP, health visitor or Wealden Citizens Advice for a referral. Find out more and where you can donate: crowborough.foodbank.org.uk

At Stephen Tester Funeral Directors, we believe every goodbye should be personal, gentle and true to the person it honours.

Our Beacon House Chapel is at the heart of what we do – a warm, peaceful place where families can pause, reflect, share memories, or be together. It’s also available for those choosing an unattended cremation – a simple cremation without a formal service – offering the chance for a private, heartfelt farewell in a calm, supportive setting.

If you’d like to talk with us at Stephen Tester Funeral Directors and see our chapel, we’d be glad to welcome you and guide you through whatever you need please call us on 01892 577166.

How we help you remember and reminisce…
We understand how deeply the loss of a loved one is felt. So we work with a registered charity, MuchLoved, to offer the families we work with a web site to celebrate their loved one’s life, share memories, leave messages, light virtual candles and donate to charity in their name.
The space can be reached via our website or directly through MuchLoved and managed by you, the family, to run how you wish.
It’s just one of the ways we hope to help you at this difficult time. We’re here to answer any questions you might have about MuchLoved. Please get in touch on 01892 577166.

Today, as every day, we remember the fallen.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

We’re proud to see our new sponsorship branding in place at Crowborough Rugby Football Club. The Club is a great facility for us to have in our town and we look forward to supporting the players through a successful season ahead.

We fully tested our brain power at the Hospice in the Weald fund-raising quiz night last Saturday (18th October). We might not have won, but we enjoyed being there. See if there are other events you’d like to support on the Hospice’s website: www.hospiceintheweald.org.uk/events
