THE SEARSON FAMILY
Family Funeral Service Havant and Portsmouth

For many, having to cope with the sadness of arranging a funeral can prove a daunting and challenging task. Clouded by emotions and with many decisions to make, you need a friendly and caring team to guide you through those steps. The Searson family recognise that a funeral is more than just a time of farewell; there are so many memories to reflect upon, good times shared, and love and laughter to be remembered, making a funeral equally a celebration of the life lived. We help create meaningful days by building essential elements that reflect the character and personality, making a funeral a special day to remember with some positive thoughts.

​

Everyone has a unique perspective on a funeral; no two funerals are the same. Our family will guide you through the many options and choices and discuss your ideas. The small things are often more critical, so discussion is essential before you make a decision. So why not contact us, arrange to come in and discuss your thoughts, ideas, concerns, and worries? We're here to support you.

​

FOR YOUR REASSURANCE:

We are members of the National Association of Funeral Directors, and this accreditation acknowledges that we provide services in line with the 'Funeral CODE'.

Additionally, our premises and facilities are regularly inspected to ensure they meet the required standards. The Searson family proudly boasts that we exceed expectations in every aspect of our service. We have a stringent 'Guest Care Policy' that assures your loved one's safety, care, and dignity at every stage of the funeral process. Our care is delivered by trained and QUALIFIED staff who adhere to strict protocol. We have clearly defined 'Standards of Care' and believe these will exceed the expectations of every family. For your added reassurance, Andy Searson is a qualified Funeral Director, Embalmer, and Funeral Service Manager with forty-four years of experience in the funeral service industry. Together with his family team, each staff member undergoes continuous Training and Development to ensure ever-changing regulations are adhered to and maintained.

FUNERAL CHARGES:

We are transparent about our services and the associated charges. You should select the services you want and not pay for elements that are not essential to you. As such, we extend menu-style pricing that aligns with the requirements of the National Association of Funeral Directors and the Competition and Markets Authority. Fair pricing that is clear and precise extends value for money. If you have any questions about our charges or are experiencing genuine financial hardship, please contact a member of our team.

​

Managing a Funeral Home takes more than just a desire to serve. Experience is essential in understanding the ever-changing landscape of legislation, ensuring compliance, and meeting the expectations of those we serve.
