Meet your funeral director

Welcome to the White Feather Funerals website, I hope you find the answers you need here. There is a lot to consider when arranging a funeral, but I didn’t want to overwhelm you with information, so I have covered the fundamental points that you need to be aware of. Anything else can be explored with a phone call, email or in person.

My name is Lucy Atabey and I started White Feather Funerals with another local lady in 2020, after a long-term interest in working in the profession. Some years ago, I lost a dear friend and his funeral (like his life) was like no other funeral I had ever attended. It showed me how unique and personal funerals could be, so I decided to make my idea become a reality. I now put my heart and soul into helping families create a truly personal funeral, as unique as the person was. From traditional to modern and everything in between, whatever is best for YOUR family. Their funeral, their way.

Now running the business on my own and supported by a team with over 30 years experience in the profession, I can assure you of my personal attention from start to finish as a small, female led, independent and privately owned funeral director.

It will be me that will meet with you and arrange the funeral and take care of your loved one at our premises in Heathfield. And on the day, it will be me that conducts the funeral.

This means you will have a consistent point of contact, with someone you know and trust, with a familiar face on the day of the funeral.

Association of Green Funeral Directors

We believe the funeral industry should like other industries and be concerned about their carbon footprint, which is why we offer a full range of coffins to our families, from the traditional wood and wood veneer, to natural alternatives like willow, wicker, bamboo and cardboard.

SAIF

We are probationary members of this organisation for independent funeral directors. They ensure the highest standard in funeral care is offered by their members, providing peace of mind for bereaved families.
