Reynolds Funeral Service in Littlehampton is part of the Reynolds family of companies, a proudly independent funeral director serving bereaved families across West Sussex since 1867. Founded by Samuel Reynolds after completing an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker, the business has grown over six generations while maintaining its founding commitment to dignity, care, and respect in all that it does.
The Littlehampton branch, located at The Cemetery Lodge on Horsham Road, is dedicated to providing a truly personal service to local families. As evidenced by the heartfelt testimonial from a satisfied Littlehampton client — 'We simply couldn't fault the service given to us by the Littlehampton office. Every aspect of the funeral went very smoothly' — the team strives to ensure every detail is exactly as families wish.
Reynolds Funeral Service is a proud member of both the National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) and the Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF), holding itself to the highest professional and ethical standards. Services offered include bespoke funeral arrangements, direct cremation, pre-paid funeral plans, memorial masonry, online memorials, and ongoing bereavement support — all delivered with the compassion and care that has defined the Reynolds name for over 150 years.
"No request was too big. We found Dean most compassionate and caring in every aspect. As a large family, he included us all. This was a funeral that will be remembered and will echo through history."
— Rosa (about Dean)
"Calling up John and his team was so reassuring and made me feel so much at ease after all that stress. At a time when I was lost and stressed you made everything much easier. I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
— Kate H (about John)
"From the very first heart-breaking phone call, Yvonne was courteous, empathetic, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. We even employed them to take care of my Father-in-law's arrangements a few months later and once again, the service was impeccable."
— Jen Scowen (about Yvonne)
"Dean looked after him with the gentlest care. No request was too much and we all felt that Rad was being well cared for and treated with dignity and respect. They made a heartbreaking time more bearable and were kind, unhurried and compassionate at all times."
— Annie Radburn (about Dean)
"We had initially instructed Funeral directors from a large chain but the service was horrific. I called Reynolds for advice and spoke to Dean about our experience, the care and consideration shown in that call from him was outstanding, we quickly had our loved one moved into Reynolds care. Dean is truly an absolute legend that went more than the extra mile to care for our family."
— Vickie Harrison (about Dean)
"How he can get a funeral so perfect for someone he had never met is mesmerising! Nothing was too much trouble. Everything was orchestrated perfectly; with respect, grace and dignity. My Dad would have been proud. We didn't have to worry about a thing - Dean guided us through every step and knew what sort of funeral we wanted before we did!"
— Jen Scowen (about Dean)
