Reynolds Funeral Service has been caring for bereaved families across West Sussex for over 150 years, with roots stretching back to 1867 when founder Samuel Reynolds arrived in Bognor Regis. For six generations, this family-run business has remained committed to delivering the highest standard of funeral services, guided by their motto 'Our Family Caring for Yours.' Their Bognor Regis branch, located at 27-31 High Street, serves as the heart of the business where it all began.
The team at Reynolds Funeral Service believe that every funeral should be as individual as the person it honours. They go out of their way to arrange personal touches that reflect the unique life of each loved one, ensuring dignity, care, and respect are woven through every aspect of the process. Their support does not end once the funeral is over — they continue to be there for families in the weeks and months that follow.
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 themselves to the highest professional and ethical standards. Services offered include arranged funerals, direct cremation, pre-paid funeral plans, memorial masonry, online memorials, and bereavement aftercare.
"Having someone around to cater for individual needs and to provide advice and to organise everything so well certainly helps. Thank you for making things easier for Max by getting members of your team together on the same day so that Max could sort things out in one visit."
— Polly Robinson (about Rebecca)
"Matt and his team were professional, kind, respectful and also added appropriate humour. The chapel of rest, with lit candles, was peaceful and welcoming, warm and cosy — I couldn't have asked for more."
— Tor Walmsley (about Matt)
"Rebecca made a very difficult time feel calm, supported and safe, and thanks to her we were able to give Dad the send-off he deserved. We would recommend Reynolds without hesitation."
— Daniel Reed (about Rebecca)
"Rebecca is brilliant — her attention to detail is second to none. She organised everything from the horses right through to order of services, not forgetting the Forget Me Not Seeds. Our friends and family can't stop talking about how wonderful the funeral was."
— Sandra Keogh (about Rebecca)
"Walking Dad from the house, the way Rebecca bowed as he passed, and then bowing alongside Caroline at the end of the service — these small but deeply respectful moments will stay with us forever."
— Daniel Reed (about Rebecca)
"One moment that meant the world to us was when Rebecca arranged for a Square and Compass to be placed on Dad's coffin. Dad, Terry, was a Mason, and this was something we hadn't even asked for — such a thoughtful and incredibly touching gesture that meant more to us than we can say."
— Daniel Reed (about Rebecca)
