We are a three generation, INDEPENDENT family funeral directors extending unique and individual services to our local community.

The Searson family Funeral Service are a family owned and operated business extending thirty years of experience in all aspects of our profession. We firmly believe that each and every funeral should be a reflection of the life lost, depicting the personality, love and character. A funeral is more than just a time to say farewell, it is also an opportunity for all to gather as one, and to celebrate the memories and provide a fitting tribute. We take a great deal of pride in being able to tailor precisely the a service to meet the varied and individual needs of our families. We extend a vast range of options and choices, enabling our families to create something special, a memorable day that will be remembered with positive thoughts.

We have three Funeral Home Locations: Portsmouth, Southsea and Havant, all of which are managed by a member of the Searson family. Each Funeral Home is decorated to reflect an informal, comfortable and warm environment, a place that looks homely and inviting. Each Funeral Home has a lovely Memorial Chapel where time can be spent visiting a loved one in tranquil surroundings. We have extended opening hours, although we can be available at any time, any day by appointment. However, should you feel that a home visit would be more beneficial for you, we will happily come and see you.

WE'RE NOT YOUR TYPICAL 'UNDERTAKER'

many people perceive the Funeral Director to that sombre image of yesteryear, dressed in balck, formal and lacking personality. The Searson Family Funeral Service are very much forward thinking in their approach, a modern business that embraces traditional values. Services have been developed to reflect a more celebrational approach to funerals, remembering lives, saying farewell in a way that affords a sense of pride.

When arranging a funeral we look at it more as creating a special day, one that will be remembered for positive reasons. We extend a wide range of options and choices in how that special day is put together. We recognise that each life lost represents a unique and individual character. That is why we ensure that every service reflects the personality of those who have passed away, it's their special day, it should be as unique as them.

    Such nice people, easy to deal with, made a very difficult time so much easier to cope with. Would definitely recommend them to all. Their service is second to none and the charges they made were exceptional value.

    I attended a funeral service for my friend the other day at the Southdowns Natural Burial Site near Petersfield. The Searsons Funeral Director provided all the arrangements, they even officiated the actual service. I have to say, and I will be placing this review around many sites because I was just completely blown away by the effort that must have gone into what can only be described as a truly amazing celebration of a life lived to the full. There were the rather wonderful, and colourful, booklet with lots of photos and meaningful words. Everyone who came got a copy and I will cherish mine. The actual service was very professional, light and free from all that formality one usually experiences. Mr Searson who conducted the service was warm, friendly, very informal, almost conversational and interacted with those attending. What was going to be a twenty minutes service ended up being nearly an hour, never experienced anything like it before in my life. Being of the ‘old school’ brigade, I’m now converted and certainly a celebration of my life when the time comes is the way to go. Even though a sad day, the warmth created by the service was so well received and I take my hat off to the Searson family for putting together a lovely, wonderful and, I have to say, the best funeral I’ve ever attended.

    The Searsons carried out my late mum's funeral a few months ago, and i cannot thank them enough for everything they did. They made a very difficult time much easier to deal with. They were so kind, informal, real people, nothing like the starchy 'Undertaker' I've used before. They created such a wonderful farewell for my mum, she deserved the best and the Searson family made sure she got just that. Thank you all so much. Sandra
