The Modern Funeral has operated as an independent funeral director in Brighton & Hove since 2012, run by a small, dedicated team of creative and professional funeral directors and celebrants. In 2022 the company opened The Modern Funeral Centre, an accessible ground-floor venue occupying the old waiting room at Preston Park station, which serves as both a ceremony space and chapel of rest for up to 20 people.
Services include personalised, celebrant-led funeral ceremonies, body care, overnight vigils, direct cremation and burial arrangements, alongside broader emotional support such as community death cafes and meditation sessions.
The business describes its approach as refreshingly open and honest, and is a SAIF member, Funeral Guide 5-star rated, a Natural Death Centre supporter, and an AGFD Good Funeral Awards nominee, serving Brighton, Hove and the wider East Sussex area.
