Proud to be An independent Family owned business
At J Wagstaff Funeral Directors, our reputation is extremely important to us. We consider professional and courteous service to be paramount on all occasions. With small independent funeral services being taken over by the larger national companies, we are proud to continue as a truly local, independent family owned and run business, always looking out for our client’s best interest.
We understand that losing someone close to you can be very upsetting. We offer a comprehensive range of funeral services and will make things as easy as possible during this difficult time. With our onsite facilities, you can rest assured as soon as your love ones come into our care, they will stay with us until they take their final journey. You can visit your loved ones at any time during our office in one of our two private chapels.
We can provide help and advice on what to do when someone dies and offer prepaid plans to help you cover funeral costs.


Donate online in memory of a loved one
J Wagstaff Funeral Directors, along with their partner Love2Donate : In Memory, would like to offer you the opportunity of leaving a donation to a charity about which your friend or loved one had felt passionate.
You will also be able to leave your own tribute expressing your feelings, giving comfort and support to all those affected by your loss.




Compassionate Care Since 1911 A reputation built on personal, dignified service
We have been serving Peacehaven, Saltdean, and the wider East Sussex community with compassion since 1911. As a family-run business, we offer a personal and caring approach, supporting families 24/7 with everything from traditional funerals to eco-friendly services and direct cremations.
At the heart of our philosophy is the belief that every life deserves respect and every family deserves support. The team sees itself not as a large faceless corporation, but as caring neighbours to the community—always ready to listen, advise, and walk alongside those grieving.
Family-owned & independent Community care & local support
From hosting coffee mornings to supporting local businesses, our commitment is to the community. Through support and runnings of local events, to taking part in charitable events and remembrance days, we are embedded to our community.


Our independent funeral directors are available 24/7
