Stand by for a “yoo hoo!”

Ronnie will be leaving at 12.10 today from White Feather in Station Approach.

Ronnie's funeral is at 1pm on Friday 6th February at Wealden crematorium.

The route today is up Station Road, along High Street, up Pages Hill past Pine Garage (that his parents used to own & where he worked), down Sheepsetting Lane, Waldron Thorns, Station Approach and onto Station Road, Gibraltar Rise (past Davenport Park where he last lived), Highcroft Crescent (past his old house), onto Marshlands and then onto Hailsham Road heading south to the crematorium.

If you aren't able to make it to the funeral service or the wake at The Heathfield Tavern, come and give him a wave on his final journey.

If you'd like to share memories of Ronnie or photos for his family, please visit his tribute page at https://ronniethorpe.muchloved.com/

Thank you,
Lucy at White Feather Funerals.

Memorial jewellery isn’t just for ladies. These lovely unisex pieces can be worn by anyone who wants to keep someone they love close to them.

Highly recommended local company Meadow memorials Jewellery based in Heathfield means you don’t have the worry of sending ashes off in the post.

Names, dates, fingerprints, and words of love deserve to be clear — now and always.

When I engrave a memorial piece, I am not just adding text or a fingerprint — I am preserving something deeply personal. A name that was spoken with love. A date that changed everything. A fingerprint that once held your hand.

Stainless steel allows me to engrave with exceptional clarity and depth. The surface is strong enough to hold fine detail, meaning every line remains sharp, readable, and true — not just now, but years from now.

The engraving won’t blur, wear thin, or fade with everyday life. The details stay exactly as they were intended, quietly and faithfully.

Because when something matters this much, it deserves to be made to last.

Thank you to every family that put their trust in White Feather this year. We have been lucky to have been involved with some great community events, welcomed my son Hector as an apprentice and supported even more local families.

Wishing you a peaceful festive season.

Thank you to The Youth Fairy Heathfield for leading this free bereavement group for us. Thank you to all who have attended in 2025 and please if you are in need, do come and see us in 2026. Don’t struggle on alone, this space is here for anyone bereaved, not just for families we have conducted funerals for.

💛 Our Free Local Bereavement Group 💛

Yesterday’s bereavement group was a really positive and meaningful session. It was lovely to see people connecting, sharing, and supporting one another in such a safe and gentle space.

Grief can feel incredibly isolating, and being able to sit with others who truly understand can make a real difference. There was honesty, compassion, and even a few moments of lightness, all of which are so important when navigating loss.

I’m so grateful to everyone who came along and trusted the group with their stories. You are not alone, and this space is here for you. 💫

If you or someone you know is experiencing bereavement and would benefit from a free, local, supportive group, please feel free to get in touch with me or White Feather Funerals

Dates for 2026 will be out soon 🤍
