Cooper & Son

Cooper & Son is one of the oldest funeral directors in Sussex. No surprise, then, that legacy is important to us.
Our funeral directors in Seaford, Uckfield, Heathfield, and Lewes carry our name and our reputation. We’re here to provide personal and compassionate funeral services, that leave lasting memories in the hearts and minds of local people.
We were founded as R Jarvis in 1710, in Cross in Hand, Heathfield. Our current name came a little later, as the family took work as wheelwrights and undertakers, operating from Rose Cottage in 1856.
Our charming Rose Cottage is still every bit as beautiful as in 1856. The site was recently granted a Sussex Heritage Trust Award for the bespoke stained glass windows that feature in our visitors’ room.
At Rose Cottage, and our other funeral directors in Seaford, Heathfield, and Lewes, you’ll meet our experienced directors, all of whom work tirelessly to ensure that the Cooper & Son name remains synonymous with quality in the local area – Damian Norman, Emma Tipler, Nick Skilton, and Tony Fear.
Despite being among the oldest funeral directors in Sussex, today’s team is committed to providing modern, personalised funerals.
