Bridee Whyte - Independent Funeral Services

Independent Funeral Home in the heart Haywards Heath

For us, it's personal

It is tough to say farewell to the people that mean so much to us but it doesn’t have to be a sad and expensive affair. It is an opportunity to celebrate their life with family and friends.

Bridee Whyte is a modern Funeral Home in the heart of Haywards Heath. It is owned and run by husband and wife team Brian and Donna and they will look after you every step of the way.

There is a bright spacious reception suite and a stunning Service Hall on the premises that can cater for up to 60 people. Unlike the crematorium services here have no time limit. You will never be asked to leave before you are ready and there is only ever one service a day.

Your special person will always stay in the Funeral Home  whilst we work with you to create a Celebration of Life that is as unique and special as that person.

Our Funeral Home is a special place where everything can take place under one roof, that helps make things a little easier during a difficult time.

We love looking after people. We make funerals better. 

 

Donna and Brian

A Refreshing and Uplifting approach to Funerals...

Celebrating a Life with good people, good music and great memories.

The traditional funeral has remained fairly similar for over a hundred years. The Bridee Whyte way is all about celebrating the life. 

Personalised services with no time restrictions, no limits on music choices or photograph numbers – we are Funeral creators as opposed to funeral directors.

Enjoy drinks and light refreshments after the Service in our bright, spacious reception suite. Share memories as we replay the images seen in the service.

The Service Hall has brilliant acoustics and ambient lighting that bathes the hall in any colour a family chooses.

Central venue with plenty of pay and display parking within a couple of minutes walk.

Following the sudden loss of my teenage son Donna and Brian have been amazing in the support and care shown to us. His celebration of life was exactly as we wanted and nothing was too much trouble. I cannot thank them enough for all they have done for my son, myself and our family. I will be forever grateful that they were able to help me do the last thing I could do as his mum.

From the moment we walked through the doors of Bridee Whyte, Donna and Brian felt like family. They helped us through a very difficult time in such a personal way that I’ll never forget and I will be forever grateful for everything that they did for my family. Navigating organising a funeral whilst also grieving such a special person sounds extremely daunting and scary, but Donna and Brian alleviated every worry and concern and helped sort everything for us to give my Mum the most amazing send off that she deserved. Donna cared for my Mum exceptionally, and it was a huge relief to know she was in the best hands and being looked after with the utmost care. Donna also checked in with us regularly too. Such a lovely and warm person to talk to through it all. Brian curated such a bespoke celebration of life, and took the time to sit down and chat with us to learn all about Mum and how special she was. Nothing was too much of an ask, and they were more than happy to make as many suggestions a reality for us as possible. Encouraging and supporting us with our own additions to the service also. I know deep in my heart that my Mum would have loved the celebration, and she would have loved Donna and Brian too. Thank you Donna and Brian for everything you have done for us. It means more than I can ever put into words ❤️

I cannot recommend Bridee Whyte highly enough. They displayed fantastic professionalism throughout the whole process and delivered exactly what had been agreed in a most caring and thoughtful manner. They have also been extremely helpful post the funeral in helping us to obtain paperwork and permissions for interment.

Donna and Brian offer a highly personalised service tailored to the family needs. They are incredibly supportive and are proactive at seeing the process through even when others seem to be at fault. The pricing is straightforward, easy to understand and all inclusive. Above all they are a down to earth, lovely caring couple who seem to have found their true vocation. They come highly recommended and deserve to do well as a business.

Donna & Brian were so friendly and welcoming from the moment we met and checked in on how we were doing throughout the whole process. We love their uplifting approach to funerals, rather than focusing on what is already a sad time and instead making it a celebration of life. You are given the freedom to really personalise the service and all of our family and friends agreed what a great send off my Dad had. Highly recommend!

Where do you start when you need to find a funeral home for your loved one. I was fortunate that my husband and I were able to talk about this beforehand. We knew what we didn't want but wasn't sure what we did. Our main concerns were for our grandchildren but they were fine. Bridee and Whyte ticked every box for us We were all very relaxed, no time restrictions and having the wake there made everything uncomplicated. The celebration of life with lots of family input reminding us of how lucky we were to have such a wonderful loving man in our lives. Thank you Brian and Donna for all your care and guidance on what was a very sad day but a day of great memories.
