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.

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. 🤍

💛 Finding comfort after loss looks different for everyone.

Some people find solace in reading, others in listening — and both can help us feel less alone in our grief.

📖 A Book Option
Many recommend ‘Grief Works’ by Julia Samuel, a compassionate guide through real-life stories of loss and reflection. It offers reassurance and insight for those navigating grief at their own pace.

🎧 A Podcast Option
If listening feels easier, ‘Griefcast’, a podcast hosted by Cariad Lloyd, shares honest conversations about grief and remembrance. Hearing others’ experiences can provide comfort and a sense of connection.

🤍 There’s no right or wrong way to grieve — choose what feels supportive for you and be gentle with yourself.

At a time when trust, compassion and professionalism matter most, we believe it’s important for families to understand the values that guide everything we do.

As an independent, family-run funeral business and proud members of the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD), our work is founded on a strict professional Code built around principles such as:

• Acting in the best interests of every client
• Providing the highest level of care to bereaved families
• Treating every person in our care with dignity and respect
• Being honest, transparent and clear about all arrangements and costs
• Operating responsibly, ethically and in line with all legal requirements

While these principles set the standard for our profession, they are only the starting point for us.
As a family-run business, we take a deeply personal approach — offering time, understanding and individual care, listening carefully, and supporting families gently through every decision. We recognise that no two families — and no two losses — are ever the same, and every life deserves to be honoured in a meaningful way.

Our promise is simple:
To care for every family as we would our own, with empathy, integrity and respect — from first contact and beyond.

A gentle reminder that grief doesn't follow a calendar.

When you're grieving, any day could be 'blue'. However you're feeling today, treat yourself with kindness.

🌍 𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐥𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲.

We honour the many faiths, beliefs, and traditions that guide families through loss. While beliefs may differ, compassion is universal — and every life is unique.

At times of grief, faith, culture, and personal values play an important role in how families remember their loved ones. Within our community, we acknowledge the rich diversity of religious and cultural traditions, and we are committed to understanding and honouring what matters most to each family.

As experienced multi-faith funeral directors, Richard Green Funeral Service works closely with families and faith leaders to ensure every farewell is carried out with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and cultural understanding.

Different paths. Shared humanity.

At Richard Green Funeral Service, we’re often asked “How do we choose the right officiant?” — here are a few gentle pointers:

🌿 Consider their style
Do you prefer a religious, spiritual, or non-religious ceremony? Every officiant brings their own tone, from traditional to conversational.
🌿 Look for someone who listens
A good officiant takes time to understand your loved one’s story, values, and the atmosphere you want to create. Many of our celebrants will even meet with someone in end-of-life to get to know them personally, ensuring the service truly reflects their life and wishes.
🌿 Ask about personalisation
Meaningful readings, music, memories, and rituals can make the service truly reflective and heartfelt.
🌿 Check their experience
Comfort with guiding families, speaking publicly, and managing the flow of a service can make a difficult day run more smoothly.
🌿 Trust your intuition
Above all, you should feel at ease. A compassionate connection can make all the difference.

At Richard Green Funeral Service, we work closely with several trusted celebrants and ministers who have consistently received wonderful feedback from the families we support. If you’re unsure where to begin, we’re always here to help you find the right person to honour your loved one’s life — and if you already have someone in mind, we are happy to work closely with them to create the perfect service, ensuring every detail reflects your loved one’s life and your wishes.
