Cemeteries We Serve in West Sussex

We work at all major burial grounds across West Sussex, including:

Snell Hatch Cemetery, Crawley

Crawley's original and largest cemetery, serving the town since the early 1900s. Now reaching capacity, it contains thousands of memorials representing over a century of Crawley family history.

Little Trees Cemetery, Crawley

Crawley's expanding cemetery opened to ensure ongoing provision as Snell Hatch reaches capacity. Modern facilities combined with newer memorial styles requiring appropriate care methods.

Durrington Cemetery, Worthing

Worthing's significant burial ground serving the coastal town and surrounding areas. Coastal proximity means particularly aggressive salt-laden moisture and biological growth.

Hills Cemetery, Horsham

Horsham's principal cemetery serving the mid-Sussex region. Rural setting with significant tree cover creates unique maintenance challenges.

Chichester Cemetery & Crematorium

West Sussex's cathedral city contains important cemeteries serving families throughout Chichester and the surrounding district.

Plus churchyards and burial grounds throughout West Sussex including Arun district burial grounds, Mid-Sussex locations, Burgess Hill, East Grinstead, Haywards Heath, and countless parish churchyards. We work at any cemetery or burial ground in the county.

Why West Sussex Memorials Need Professional Care

West Sussex's diverse geography creates distinct maintenance challenges:

• Coastal salt exposure: Worthing and coastal area cemeteries suffer salt spray damage and accelerated corrosion
• High humidity: Proximity to the South Coast means persistent moisture and aggressive biological growth
• Tree cover: Rural cemeteries in Horsham, Crawley, and surrounding areas develop heavy moss and lichen
• Freeze-thaw damage: Winter conditions create micro-fractures in exposed memorials
• Varied stone types: Sussex stone traditions mean diverse memorial materials requiring specialist handling

Professional maintenance prevents deterioration and maintains memorials' dignity and legibility for future generations.
