How We Are Different

Mayfields Funerals is a local, family home, wholly owned by South Downs Funeral Service.

Our strength is that we are totally committed to providing you with a funeral service that fulfils your wishes, whilst achieving a fitting tribute to the deceased, their beliefs and their life.

There is no reason why the arrangements for a funeral service should be rushed. It is so important to provide those involved with the arrangements for a funeral service, time to reflect upon their decision. We are here to offer that time and support, so you do not feel pressured into making all the decisions immediately.

We respect that you only have one opportunity to create the gift of a funeral service to your loved one. We are here to guide you, support you and advise you on the decisions that need to be made.

We do not see arranging or conducting a funeral service as a commercial or business opportunity, but as a way of supporting you through what is often a very upsetting and distressing time.

We try, wherever possible, to use resources from the local community and encourage a green and environmentally friendly approach.

We Listen

How many times do we all contact a company who appears to care, merely to be put through to a call centre, placed on hold and then lost in their telephone system?

We are proud not to have a call centre. Our 24-hour service is cared for by our local staff, so you will always talk to a real person and not a computer. That person will not rely on a computer to find the information you require. Our staff will ensure that all messages are passed on, so you do not have to worry about asking more than once.

When you make the arrangements for a service with Mayfields, we will guide you through the decisions that need to be made.

We will take care of any worries, concerns or questions you may have from this moment on.

the highest possible standards to each and every family we care for and support.
