Your Local Independent Funeral Service Established in 2004, Tester & Jones Funeral Services is proud to be an independent funeral director. Our independence allows us to offer a more personal and flexible approach, ensuring every funeral is tailored to reflect the individual and their family's wishes. We are experienced in arranging a wide range of funeral options, including: Traditional funerals Eco and natural burials Burials at sea Direct cremations Religious and non-religious services Celebrations of life Military and service funerals Cultural and faith-specific funerals Green funerals and biodegradable options Specialist hearses and limousines Pre-paid funeral plans To make each funeral truly unique, we work closely with families to personalise every detail—from the choice of music and readings to vehicles, flowers, and venue. As an active member of SAIF (The National Association of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors), we uphold the highest professional standards and are passionate about supporting families during difficult times. Based in Crowborough, we also serve the surrounding communities of Withyham, Rotherfield, Uckfield, Groombridge, High Hurstwood, and Mayfield—and are happy to travel further if needed. At Tester & Jones, we take great pride in arranging every funeral entrusted to us, offering compassion, understanding, and dedicated support every step of the way.
Unlike some of the larger groups we're not about meeting sales figures and targets and we only want to provide you with what you want and what is affordable for you.
