J Wagstaff is an independent, family-owned funeral director established in Peacehaven in 1911. Rather than operating as part of a national chain, the firm has remained a genuinely local business, serving Peacehaven, Saltdean, Brighton and the surrounding East Sussex area with 24/7 availability.
Services include religious and non-religious ceremonies, multi-faith funerals, direct cremations, eco-friendly funerals, burials, prepaid funeral plans and unattended services. The company maintains two private chapels where families can visit loved ones during office hours, alongside bereavement care support and options to donate to charity in memory of the deceased.
The Saltdean office is located at 7A Longridge Avenue, with sister branches in Peacehaven and Brighton.
