Local funeral homes

Mayfields Funeral Directors and South Downs Funeral service are proud to be members of SAIF, The Society Of Allied And Independent Funeral Directors, adhering to their code of practice at all times.

We provide an extremely high standard of care, help and support to all areas of Portsmouth and outlying towns.

We arrange non-attended direct or traditional attended funerals that reflect and incorporate the wishes of the individual, family and friends. We can advise on cremations and burials, choice of coffins, donations, visual life tributes, stonemasonry and flower arrangements. We can even arrange to have the service at home or other suitable venue instead of the usual crematorium chapel service. Whatever you choose we can help you arrange it all, even a suitable venue for a gathering afterwards with any catering needs that might be required.

So whether it is a simple funeral, a traditional funeral, an alternative funeral or an extravagant occasion, we are able to provide you with a totally personal and completely bespoke service.

We are also able to arrange funeral services many miles away, or attend to repatriations if you lose a loved one abroad, or if you would like a loved returned to their own country.

We very much appreciate that each and every funeral service must be carried out to your personal wishes. We will endeavour to ensure that the same member of staff will discuss your personal wishes throughout, and provide guidance and support to you and your family.

All our staff are fully trained, professional, sensitive and with genuine compassion to help you. Rest assured your calls will be taken with complete confidentiality. We can also arrange for a home visit if you are unable to come to us. Nothing is too much trouble and we pride ourselves on the service we provide feeling privileged to be chosen to take your loved one on their final journey. Our aim is to carry out your requests with the utmost dignity and attention to detail.

Our promise to you is that we will support you both personally and confidentially, either in our funeral home or in the privacy of your own home.

We will not use a call centre many miles away to take care of your concerns when our funeral homes are not open. This means that when you talk to us, you only have to ask once. You will never have to worry that a message will not be passed on. It is most important that you have confidence in the person you are talking to: that they understand you and appreciate how you feel.

We are dedicated in providing a professional service to the highest possible standards, and believe that every funeral can be truly unique representing the life, beliefs and wishes of the deceased, as well as their family and friends.

This is the level of care and support we will provide, on each and every occasion.
